TIPS TO PROTECT E-GOLD ACCOUNT

Its very important to protect and keep your e-gold account save at all the times. Here are some of my useful tips for you.

1) Don't show or give your login information to any other person. Your e-gold account access Passphrase is very private and confidential.

2) Always use the SRK(SRK passphrase entry button) when put your password. This is to help you to prevent any Trojan virus from gathering information on your password.




3) Fraud /Spam e-gold mails
I found that some irresponsible people tend to send some spam email to hack and get e-gold information. Usually there is a link pointing you to click and update your e-gold account. Sometimes the link that you click will bring you to a fake email browser that is exactly looks like as e-gold merchant. Some of the hackers are try to fool your self with this kind of technique.Remember that E-gold will never email you and ask you to log into your account with a provided link. If you get an e-gold link via email, do not open it, and whatever you do, don't go to the site that is provided. Hackers have been sending out various emails that look like they are from E-gold.

4) Always make a deal with trusted merchant when buy or selling e-gold. Also ask someone that you can trust and well known if u don't have any idea about sending e-gold payment for any others merchants.

5) Always surf Internet using good and safe browser. Mozilla Firefox is one of the best. You can get it here at ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ ).

6) Always unselect the checkbox when using public computer. Select to use the checkbox that will keep remember your e-gold account number only, when you use your own computer .


7) Always keep updating your anti virus programme on your computer . Updating your anti virus will prevent from new virus to getting into your computer system.
