Details of the acquisition were not publicized, but some reports this week said PayPal, which is being spun off by online giant eBay, was paying $60 million for the Israeli CyActive.
Online payments group PayPal announced Tuesday it was acquiring Israeli cybersecurity firm CyActive and establishing a new security hub in Israel.
“Our goal is to extend our global security leadership, and bolster our efforts in predictive threat detection and prevention,” said PayPal chief technology officer James Barrese in a blog post.
