As others pointed out, it's legitimate. They're using that domain to
serve up graphic images for PayPal.com.

Personally, I'm not sure why they did this, instead of using a
subdomain like http://objects.paypal.com/ . Yahoo does the same thing,
using yimg.com for many of their images. I suppose the extra domain can
have different TTL settings in the DNS, or reduce the load on their
main domain, or something....

In my Mozilla browser settings, I normally don't allow images that are
not downloaded from the source domain of the HTML, so this change meant
manually adding the new domain to the whitelist for allowed images.

Sincerely,
