An Open Letter to PayPal from Anonymous Hackers ! Just Now  Anonymous Hackers Publish and open letter to Paypal , The Copy of Letter is as Given Below : Dear PayPal staff, In recent news (reference below) we took notice that you froze the account of Courage to Resist, the organization raising funds for legal support of U.S. Army Pfc.
