    Hello,

    Now a days many people hacking the paypal accounts, email accounts and other important login accounts of yours.

    So what i'm informing here is, Be careful when anyone offering free hosting account, free accounts of something,
    Do not use your password which is used to your important logins like paypal, email services and other accounts.

    They will try to hack your accounts using the password you have filled during the registration.

    So be careful when ever you go for free service, do not use your main password or personal information in the registration form.

    I hope you agree with this :)
    Thank you.

    Yup I agree. Keep your things compartmentalize to reduce damage if a password is indeed leaked by such a site.

    You are so right on with this post! Many of my friends use the same username/password combination for every account they have. This is a very dangerous practice and will almost certainly get you hac ked.

    True. Too important account relate to money shall have individual password.
    And also, try to use all the character, number & symbol, it will make the pasword more strong
