I can't stress this enough... I wasn't going to say anything but today, my paypal account was broken into and used by the hacker to make 1,000 USD worth of fraudulent purchases. It took me all day to fix all of this, and its going to take a couple weeks for my banking to return to normal. But my email was also broken into. It had the same password as my paypal, and my entropia also had the same password. This has all been changed today.
In order to protect your accounts... Please observe the following advice:
1. Download and run Spybot Search and Destroy and install some software such as Avast Anti Virus, and perhaps Zone Alarm for a free firewall. This will protect you against spyware, viruses, and hackers.
2. Do not use the same passwords for multiple accounts. Do not let anyone else know your passwords for any reason.
3. Change your password every 30 to 90 days.
4. Do not use passwords that are too simple. If it is in a dictionary, it will be used for brute force attacks. Mix in some characters and numbers, upper and lower case.
5. Make sure your security questions are not answers that would be easily guessed or obtained.
Had I not caught this in time, the damages may have been severe. I still dont' know if I am going to get everything refunded. But let's just say this is the fastest 10,000 peds I lost without playing Entropia :P
I cannot stress how important it is to maintain security of your accounts, financial or otherwise.

Hello mate...
ReplyDeleteYesterday and Today I read almost all your blog! You're a great blogger, for real!
Can you give some tips, on your blog, about starting on mining? I read a lot of Newbie Mining Guides and tried it today (just looking for enmatters, as you said in one of your posts). But I spent about 30 peds in about 30 minutes(deposited just 100) and earned less than 10 peds >.<
Waiting your answer
