Something similar happened to me a few years ago. Someone hacked into my paypal account and spent almost $2,000 from my checking account and I'm not sure how much personal info they got from the account. I found out about 2 hours after it happened because they apparently changed my password (not sure how they did that!) and paypal sent me an email to verify that I changed my password. It was a Saturday so I had to wait until Monday to change ALL of my info regarding that paypal account. I also contacted the credit reporting bureaus (equifax and trans union) to see if there had been any other activity in my credit history. They put an alert on my account so if anyone tried to open credit cards or apply for loans in my name, the credit reporting bureau would have to contact me first. You might want to contact equifax to get a copy of your credit report and see if they can help at all.
