*YES* it is.
And again, luckily we're just a chat/meet site with no financial or
personal identity information stored. I think when a bot or person
detects PayPal payment buttons on a site, it might try to extract
what it can from the server in hopes that there are PHP or Perl
"PayPal Integration" scripts somewhere which might include login
information and so forth. I don't have any of that.
The fact that the hacker(s) deleted my e-mail accounts raised the
question of whether it was a bot or a disgruntled person.
