We’ve been throwing around the idea of a weekly post dedicated to informative finds on the web that have to do with privacy and security.

Since Yesterday, PayPal is not sending us confirmation notification of the payments. So the system is unable to update the status of the accounts. We could do this manually, but when PayPal will solve the issue, it will probably send all the notifications and this could create worse issues. So, we are waiting for a while.
