I recently had my EA account hacked, but I managed to recover it after reaching out to EA support. I use PayPal for purchasing games on the EA app, and every time I make a purchase, I have to log in to PayPal. I'm concerned now—should I be worried about the safety of my PayPal account? What steps should I take to secure it?

It's important to check if the passwords were the same. If they were identical, definitely be concerned and change them right away. If they're different, you should still change all your passwords just to be safe—especially if they weren't strong ones in the first place. Make sure to use your browser's password generation feature; they make it much more secure!
PayPal itself is generally safe, but since your EA account got hacked, you should be cautious. If you used the same password for both accounts, change them immediately! Even if they were different, having strong, unique passwords is key. I’d recommend using a password manager to generate and keep track of strong passwords.
You definitely want to take precautions after getting hacked. First, reset all your passwords, especially on the browser you used. If someone tricked you into changing your EA account's email or password, it shouldn't affect other accounts—just be cautious and ensure you're not using the same passwords everywhere!
