Well, if I remember Pay Pal was hacked into several months ago and they had to do a lot damage control with their customer base in that information was stolen from their site. They never identified what it was, most customers were concerned it was credit card information.
In any case, I didn't even think PayPal was in business in the early 1970's a group I believe called Dearborn Partners currently owns the company. If there is any validity to this someone at Pay Pal would know about the hacking and what identity theft was taken, as well as if the company was in Business in 1970. Most of these types of "wallet Internet" firms didn't come into existence until the 1980's. I think that one of the first was Comp U Serve.
I am going to do a little researching. Does any computer Geek out there or computer trivia buff know when Pay Pal, AOL Wallet, Yahoo Wallet, started on the Internet?

Just did some checking and Pay Pal was founded in 1998. I guess it would be hard to have used their system in 1970......Kerry's new campaign staff must be in such a tizzy they are starting to inhale!
