Paypal fraud by a sponsor?

I just got an unauthorized transaction in my paypal account. $100 was sent to a 'Allen Whitmore'. Not a lot of money , but still this is fucking scary.

It is fucking scary because:
- I'm not an idiot who will fall for email scam and or paypaI.com links, etc.
- I dont have any virus/spyware
- I verified my Host file to make sure I was going to the actual paypal.com
- No one knows this pass and it doesnt mean anything

But, I used this pass with 2 or 3 sponsors with the same email... Unless paypal had an internal leak (unlikely), it must be someone who got hold of a webmaster db from a sponsor program. I guess this was a very stupid move to use the same pass with a few sponsors...

Anybody else with paypal problems?
