Reading the article it never mentions her using PayPal, just someone hacking her computer through malware and setting up accounts that drained her $$$$.
Under PayPal's rules if she did have that bank account linked to her PayPal account it would have been safe from anyone doing such a thing. You can only have your bank account or credit card linked to one PayPal account at a time. My wife and I ran into that while trying to link our joint credit card to 2 PayPal accounts, couldn't do it. We needed to setup another card and checking account.
