From www.ibtimes.co.uk: PayPal has issued a red alert due to a staggering 600% increase in scams in 2025, primarily targeting users with fake emails and fraudulent invoices designed to exploit trust in the platform.

Cybercriminals are employing tactics like mimicking official communications to trick users into providing sensitive information or clicking malicious links.

To combat these threats, users are advised to enable two-factor authentication, create strong passwords, and be vigilant about recognising suspicious activity.
