What if someone hack your fund from E-Gold what do you have to do?

Answer:

If your account get hacked your basically screwed since e-gold is not a valid currency so you can't really sue and e-gold wont give a crap since when you signed up it states

Quote:

- However, *DO NOT* reveal your passphrase to others!!!

Anybody with knowledge of both your e-gold account number and your
e-gold
passphrase has complete access to your e-gold account; therefore, do
not
reveal your e-gold account passphrase to others. *NEVER* enter your
passphrase on any website other than the www.e-gold.com web site.

And if u did get hacked it would say for example

Quote:

If you did not attempt to login to e-gold account ****** at
3/3/2006 1:24:39 AM GMT, this suggests that somebody besides you
knows the passphrase to your e-gold account due to poor security practices onyour part!

So be smart. Dont tell anyone ur pass, always login from the e-gold site, do not fall for email scams, and use the srk when entering your password.

Cheers.

I believe prevention is better than cure, so it might be good to not keep any sizeable funds in the account (if possible), and as a general precaution, use a specialised email to register the account.

And keep your passwords long, varied, and different for every site!
