Did I just get linked?!?
 

I'll try to explain this as easy as possible.

I just bought 2 separate Windows VPS's. (2 different static IP addresses)

I also bought the 2 Stealth accounts I currently own. So I logged into each of them for the very first time, on the 2 separate VPS's I just bought. I only logged into eBay & did some browsing, placed losing bids, etc. No selling or buying yet.

Then, I went to the PayPal website, and when I clicked to enter in my e-mail, it showed 3 e-mails that were 'remembered' / saved! They were definitely not mine! I checked my other VPS and they had the same 3 e-mails 'remembered' too. Of course, I did not end up logging into PayPal. But this got me worried, since I did log into each of my eBay accounts. Would I be linked to those PayPals?

I contacted the VPS provider and they said they were certain that nobody else could have used the VPS before me, as they just set it up. Only explanation they could think of was it might be because in the virtual environment, harddrives are often cloned.

Aside from that, was just told I'm being given 2 new VPS's with new IP's each, and a fresh installation of Windows on both. However I'm still worried that I might have got linked already. What do you think?

Hmm it showed up as saved in the field...you might have created a light link - one time is unlikely to axe your accounts but identify and AVOID doing this.

I still think you erred with this set-up.

Once off, you should be OK.

Just be attentive each time you use this system. :peace:

(& I know you will be careful)
