How to make ur e-gold account UN-HACKABLE *works*

    Recently my e-gold account along with my email, so the hacker somehow transferred all money to his account. After i complained to e-gold about this, they locked his account , but told me that they cant reveal any more information about the hacker and that i have to go to court and stuff to get more info. - It was a trojan which stole my passwords :(

    So herez a tip from my side. Enable FULL security in ur e-gold account settings (accsent, blah blah ) and never ever open ur email account which u put in ur e-gold account in ur computer...open it from ur mobile device or some other thing which has no chance of being Infected by any Kinda virus. make a seperate mail acount for this if necessary, cuz u wont be opening this on ur computer.
    So even if the hacker gets ur gold account pass, Its of no use for him cuz it will send the PIN to the email, which only U have control of.

    Hop u will find this useful :)

    There is probably a way around this still, nothing is unhackable.

    Never the less, this makes it A LOT harder, so thank you. :)

    You should sue, but ask egold for the others taht got hacked, if you can get around liek 5+ people, you can seriously make a big lawsuit..

    Use a decent antivirus/firewall and you shouldn't have any problems. Thanks for the tips.

    The tip sounds good since mobile devices are many times harder to hack than PCs. But I guess you also need a mobile device that can handle SSL browsing. I don't have one of these internet enabled devices yet but this sounds like a good use for them. Rep added.

    It would be nice to do the e-gold transaction through a mobile device too, right? For safety. Is that also possible?
