According to CBS5, the blast occurred near an outdoor corridor popular for employee breaks and was not visible from the street. A 6-by-7-foot window was shattered, but there was no other damage.

PayPal’s business operation continues as usual and their website is still up and running. The 1900 employees in that office were instructed to work either from home (ok, now everyone works SOHO) or at another eBay’s campus in San Jose as well. Damon tells us that nobody is hurt and everybody is fine at PayPal. Enforcement agencies are still investigating.
