| Close your PayPal accounts.
Close your paypal accounts. Anon is planning to hack PayPal.
Not sure if any of this is valid. But I'm not taking any chances lol
they are updating their tweets at the moment. Anonymous issues PayPal attack warning - twitter, Paypal attack, paypal, Mercedes Renee Haefer, hacktivists, anonymous - Computerworld

Operation PAYPAL (#opPAYPAL) Cash out your accounts, and cancel them. Press release coming soon. Get the message out there. #OpPayPal

Notice that EVERY Anon twitter account is telling you that you need to close your PayPal account. Why bit.ly/mZ8Z7A Quote:
Dear PayPal, its customers, and our friends around the globe,
This is an official communique from Anonymous and Lulz Security in the name of AntiSec.
In recent weeks, we've found ourselves outraged at the FBI's willingness to arrest and threaten those who are involved in ethical, modern cyber operations. Law enforcement continues to push its ridiculous rules upon us - Anonymous "suspects" may face a fine of up to 500,000 USD with the addition of 15 years' jailtime, all for taking part in a historical activist movement. Many of the already-apprehended Anons are being charged with taking part in DDoS attacks against corrupt and greedy organizations, such as PayPal.
What the FBI needs to learn is that there is a vast difference between adding one's voice to a chorus and digital sit-in with Low Orbit Ion Cannon, and controlling a large botnet of infected computers. And yet both of these are punishable with exactly the same fine and sentence.
In addition to this horrific law enforcement incompetence, PayPal continues to withhold funds from WikiLeaks, a beacon of truth in these dark times. By simply standing up for ourselves and uniting the people, PayPal still sees it fit to wash its hands of any blame, and instead encourages and assists law enforcement to hunt down participants in the AntiSec movement.
Quite simply, we, the people, are disgusted with these injustices. We will not sit down and let ourselves be trampled upon by any corporation or government. We are not scared of you, and that is something for you to be scared of. We are not the terrorists here: you are.
We encourage anyone using PayPal to immediately close their accounts and consider an alternative. The first step to being truly free is not putting one's trust into a company that freezes accounts when it feels like, or when it is pressured by the U.S. government. PayPal's willingness to fold to legislation should be proof enough that they don't deserve the customers they get. They do not deserve your business, and they do not deserve your respect.
Join us in our latest operation against PayPal - tweet pictures of your account closure, tell us on IRC, spread the word. Anonymous has become a powerful channel of information, and unlike the governments of the world, we are here to fight for you. Always.
Signed, your allies,
Lulz Security (unvanned)
Anonymous (unknown)
AntiSec (untouchable)

Anon has been hitting everything lately. Instead of trying to arrest these people companies need to beef up there security.

It won't let me remove my bank info, says there is a pending transaction in process. 
Edit Edit: Also my bank account information that I can find doesn't match what they want, so can't remove or change a bunch of details OR close the account. The account number on my statement doesn't match.
sweet.

Somethings not right here. Anonymous issues PayPal attack warning - twitter, Paypal attack, paypal, Mercedes Renee Haefer, hacktivists, anonymous - Computerworld
In a recent tweet, Anonymous claimed 10,000 customers had closed their accounts and issued instructions on how to remove details from PayPal, including credit card numbers. Twitter
AnonymousIRC AnonymousIRC
We cannot count how many PayPal accounts have been closed. Safe to say, a few hundreds o far. Thank you for your support! #OpPayPal #AntiSec
You guys are over panicking.

It's possibly a social engineering game, getting everyone to panic and drop their PayPal accounts.
I had nothing in mine and haven't used it for jack all in forever so closing it would be no problem for me..... if I were able to.
