I stopped using PayPal to buy things, about 10 years ago for very similar reasons of it getting hacked a few times
Now if I buy online, I have a couple of disposable credit cards that I load with the amount needed for purchasing online and if those get hacked, at the most, they might get a couple of dollars. They are not linked in any way to my bank accounts. If a card gets hacked, and they get a couple of dollars, not any real damage done, and that card goes into the trash and replaced with a new one.
