PayPal has confirmed it was not a victim of Anonymous during the hacking group's global day of protest on Monday.
Reports had stated that Anonymous released confidential passwords and other PayPal log-in details through Twitter, but the company has released information to the media confirming they were not affected.
PayPal said there was no evidence of a security breach, adding that several of the links to the alleged passwords have since been taken down.
Several other websites were targeted, apparently by the group or by others claiming links to Anonymous.
Pop star Lady Gaga took to Twitter after one of her fan sites, Gaga Daily, was defaced.
She wrote: 'My little angels! Help is on the way. Haus of gaga techies will be on it... to the rescue. Calling them now.'
Anonymous used November 5 as a day of protest to coincide with Guy Fawkes' failed Gunpowder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605.
Members of the group have appeared in online videos wearing Guy Fawkes masks made famous by the 2005 film starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman.
