Better never to reuse the same password across platforms.

Almost 35,000 PayPal user accounts were accessed in a security breach

The intrusion reportedly lasted two days, between December 6 and December 8, 2022, and it affected 34,942 user accounts. It is possible that the hackers were able to access a significant amount of personal information for the affected users, including full names, birth dates, postal addresses, social security numbers, and individual tax identification numbers. On top of that, hackers had access to transaction histories, connected credit and debit card details, and PayPal invoicing data.

All in all, this could have become a very bad situation if the hackers were trying to make transactions from the affected users' accounts. Fortunately, this didn't happen. The entire situation shows that not reusing the same password across platforms is of primary importance.
