Thread: Any tips to protect your egold account?

Everyday i have been hearing many news about egold account being hacked or stolen, etc. I want to know from the experts on how to protect our egold account from being hacked or stolen, etc.

hi there,

i have some advice for you, before i was an e-gold user and i just want you to know that in order to protect your e-gold account, you need to use anti virus, and my advice is you need to scan your pc every week, beware of trojan horse because that will get your personal information, i was hacked before with my e-gold account and i was so upset. the hackers took $350 from me..... so beware. hope this will help you out.

If you use some common sense and the features e-gold has for you your account will not be hacked. I've had a business egold account for nearly 3 years now. It has never been hacked.

First, change your password weekly and make it at least 16 characters long
Second, create an email account just for e-gold and make sure you change the password on it weekly as well.

Go into your "account Info" area Click the AccSent tab.
Set the IP Address Change Sensitivity to "High"
Make sure "detect Browser Change" is enabled
Make sure Home and Work Mode is disabled. If you want to access your e-gold from a second computer Enable it and use the other computer as soon as possible to the IP is locked in and Egold recognizes your 2 computers.

EVERY time you leave e-gold CLOSE your browser. Shut it down completely even if you have other tabs open.

This will make your account secure. If you or someone else tries to access your account from a different IP your account is locked and a code to unlock it is sent to your email. You might find having to go get an email a pain but it is worth it to keep your account secure.
