My Bigstock Paypal address hacked and PP email changed!
HughStoneIan:
Just a notice that my BS paypal address was changed by someone besides me. No one else locally has access to my computer, so my account was obviously hacked online. Bigstock was good enough to send me a change-of-account email notice, which alerted me. You may want to check your micro acct's, change p/words, etc.
HughStoneIan:
One other note: I had not yet reached the payout threshold, so no money was able to be taken. But payout will be available soon, so the thief was just waiting like a hawk to steal.

Happened to me too. I contacted bigstock through the email alert they sent, and had to go through a bunch of different processes. Account currently temporarily suspended while Bigstock reviews a photo of me carrying my passport to verify. Very inconvenient. IMO there should be a more secure procedure when changing the payment email, e.g. password verification.

That's the good thing about Bigstock. It's really safe from these sort of attacks since it basically *never* reaches payout!
