Paypal down ?? / Error 500 (Internal Server error) on log-in process

It seems Paypal World wide is having an issue with its login process.

When ever I try to login to paypal, it is returning an error 500, meaning, something went wrong at their end under the server which handles user login request.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@paypal.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Although, paypal is one of the most secure web site in the world wide web, but still, as so many credit or debit cards / online bank accounts are involved, it always brings a scare off attack on the service to obtain those financial data.

Update :-

paypal has withdrawn their main page and have put up a notice about a site problem.

We’re sprucing things up right now, but we should be done by 1:00 AM PDT.

Want the details? Checkout the PayPal Announcement Board.

However, the said announcement board is yet to have any notice about the on going problem.

Welcome to the PayPal Announcement Board!

In the event we are experiencing any site issues, we will provide additional information as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you for your patience.
