  Like these AI can do whatever you can do with a computer, so if you can go buy server space it can too if it has a way to pay for it, many ways to pay can be accessed online (Crypto, etc). If the AI is already attacking outside websites why wouldn’t it steal a paypal acccount?

  @AskPayPal I can’t log in to my account, and I can’t reset my password because it keeps giving me a “Something went wrong” error. I’ve tried across multiple devices. I never receive an email to even reset my password.

  Having had issues with Musk's former money platform (PayPal), I wouldn't touch XMoney with a barge-poll. Imagine having your funds frozen for months because AI thinks your post was "hateful" or falsely identified an image as CSAM.

  @diandelion22 @Nishii_7 I have put my twitch name on my business paypal and it works, but I stopped because I legally can't and don't want tax issues. If i change it, paypal wants business documents proof linking my name.

  @Varies_16 It doesn't seem the case about leaving the fandom. But at least in her Twitter mentioned she had problems with her PayPal. I don't think she's bad person but kinda poor management about contacting with her clients if she had problems 😔

  What specifically should they do to offset the issue. Have less power? Donate to some paypal? This kind of "speak up" wishwash has never solved anything in decades, and it seems nobody has real solutions to privilege other than morally judging others.

  Worst Boyfriend Ever (@TwinkBukowski) reported 9 minutes ago

  I slept in the same bed as my mom last night. We tried to find something on Roku to watch but there was nothing worth watching and so we quit, and I just fell asleep at 9 pm. She asked me how Japan went and I said fine. I had fun. She said how you doing on money and I said fine. She said you know you’re going to have to pay taxes on that “meme coin” from January right? I said yes of course. She said you’re not in trouble are you? I said no I’m fine. Truth is I’m in so much trouble I wouldn’t even know where to start. I just looked at myself in the mirror and saw a disheveled cave man. I used to see my father but now I see something somehow even worse. That girl who sent a $1k donation just disputed the charge and I fear she’s going to win the dispute. I owe money to Verizon, the government, my bank, a girlfriend rental service in Japan I financed via PayPal, Stripe, dozens and dozens, scores even, of parking tickets all in different states, speeding tickets, toll fees, and that’s not even to mention the rapes. These past few weeks I’ve realized that I will not be able to outrun these crimes forever, everything I’ve done for this blog. Eventually one of these girls will try really hard to punish me for something—more likely a guy actually—and they will succeed. And more people will be happy than sad about it, that they finally got me, that this all finally ends. I can only hope, in that moment the blue and red lights are shining outside my door, that one of the happy people is me.

  ChatGPT Has Become One of the Top 10 Brands Most Frequently Impersonated in Phishing Attacks Researchers say the rapid adoption of the service has made the OpenAI brand an attractive lure for stealing users’ payment information and account credentials. According to Check Point’s Brand Phishing Report for the second quarter of 2026, OpenAI now accounts for 1.1% of all recorded brand phishing campaigns. The company has entered the top 10 most impersonated brands for the first time, joining the likes of PayPal, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Just a few years ago, most phishing attacks revolved around Microsoft and Facebook. Cybercriminals routinely abused the popularity of Windows and social media platforms, but with the rise of generative AI, they have quickly shifted their tactics. Today, OpenAI users are increasingly becoming the target of these scams. Despite ChatGPT’s debut in the rankings, Microsoft remains the most impersonated brand, accounting for 23% of all phishing campaigns. It is followed by LinkedIn, Google, Apple, and Amazon. Together, these five brands are used in more than half of all brand phishing attacks, highlighting how heavily cybercriminals concentrate on the world’s most popular digital services. One of the most common campaigns involves fake ChatGPT Plus payment emails. Victims receive messages claiming that their subscription payment has failed, with emails carefully designed to mimic OpenAI’s branding and legitimate payment notifications. Users who click the embedded link are redirected to a fraudulent payment page, where they are prompted to re-enter their credit card details. Any information submitted is immediately captured by the attackers. “As AI tools evolve from a novelty into an everyday habit, they become just as attractive a target as any bank or major technology company.” Researchers note that these attacks rely heavily on psychological pressure. Fraudsters attempt to create a sense of urgency through fake payment failures, security alerts, or account suspension warnings, pushing victims to click links without thinking. Security experts recommend never accessing OpenAI through links included in emails. Instead, users should manually type the official website address into their browser and verify their account directly. They also advise watching for common warning signs, including distorted logos, broken buttons, suspicious domain names, fake social media links, and unusual sender addresses. Even if an email looks convincing, it should never be assumed to be genuine. Researchers further recommend enabling multi-factor authentication. Even if a password is stolen, it can provide an additional layer of protection that prevents attackers from gaining access to an account. Ironically, artificial intelligence itself is now helping cybercriminals produce increasingly polished and convincing phishing emails at scale, making fraudulent messages harder than ever to distinguish from legitimate ones. If an email or message raises even the slightest suspicion, the safest approach is to visit OpenAI’s official website directly rather than following any links included in the message.
