i don’t think paypal did much wrong here: the 35k accounts wasn’t really their fault… their “breach” was credential stuffing: criminals trying usernames and passwords from other breaches… there’s not much they can do to fix that except enforce MFA (this is just 1 of many reasons it’s so important!)
