My paypal account was hacked at one point. Thankfully I caught it before the time elapsed for changing the account info.

Your friend needs to report this to 1)her bank 2) paypal 3)one of the major credit check services (experian, equifax, transunion) AND get a fraud alert placed on her credit.

Also 4) flush out her computer and any possible hacks with a memory wipe/reset. As long as she is not actually out any money, she problable doesn't need to sue anyone. Almost invariably, these people aren't in the United States (or at least their accounts aren't).

When this happened to me, a guy was selling Hungarian purses from my eBay account.
