Ok this is an odd bug, and I don't think it is a real security issue at all. Here is how it got triggered. Customer placed an order online with paypal, shipping cost was less, so we refunded his paypal account, and then adjusted the invoice. Next I get an email from the store with the title "Security Warning" and the body says:

"Store administrator,

Someone has submit PayPal payment lower than the total value of the

shopping cart. This may indicate a fraudulent attempt to purchase goods

below their value. Please review order 278803 and its corresponding

PayPal receipt for problems. "
I have seen these messages before, but never really paid attention. Go figure. LOL Thought I throw this out for a possible fix with future updates.
Thinking about this, could be a security feature to prevent empoyees from messing with purchases placed by friends. I can see an electronics store wanting this. Then you definetely want this message. Perhaps a better text?

Hi Katharina,
It's a security feature, not a bug.
