when trying to donate to a caving organization i discovered i get
shortcodes from paypal from a different address in one browser than
another.

in my usual browser i get them from 72975 . via a slightly different
channel i got them from 729725 . websearching around others have had
similar experiences.

it looks like the former code is bogus and some goonies have been
doing a massive mitm campaign on paypal customers for three years and
have complete access to a ton of funds including mine

epic?
