Caution when Surfing the Web

[Borr]

If this is going to turn into a security advice thread, i can certainly help out ;-)

Also make sure no-one knows the emailaddress you used for registering and that no-one can get hold of a color copy of an official identification document. With these two someone can change the emailaddress to theirs and take over your account (including registered credit card).

This section allows you to re-activate your Entropia Universe account. To do so you must submit the email address you specified when registering for your account.

After you have submitted your e-mail address, an activation link will be sent to that email account enabling you to set a new Password for your account.

If you no longer have access to your email, or you have forgotten which e-mail you registered your account under, you may send a color scan copy of your passport or official identification document to:

support_info@mindark.com.

Don't forget to include the new email address that you wish to have connected to your Entropia Universe account.

If you don't have access to a scanner you can send a copy of the documents via normal post to:

MindArk PE AB
...

Also have a different forum name/password from your game account, etc. etc.

Or choose to pay for a goldcard.

I suggest that anyone concerned about keyloggers should install anti-virus, anti-spyware and Firewall programmes on their computer.

if you are dumb enought to let something get in from ramdom site , then , virus and such stuff wont help you against people that aim EU player.

Using a "normal" keylogger is for sure wasting time for EU...best would be a simple process explorer that send back to the hacker your Enropia.exe comand line wich contain your login and password write clear.
Keylogguer would probably gather lots of info , and so , hacker will have to bother find what is your entropia login and code... not speaking about the smart people that change way of typing often...
Since , a process explorer designed for EU wont have any similiraty code with trojan keyloguer..... your AV wont detect it...

Interesting you bring this up. I have wondered does EU let you choose your own login name these days upon account creation?

Interesting. Far as i can recall when I started up you couldn't choose. You got what they gave you, so my login name is all completely random. Hahahahaha Even I have to look it up when I go to login each time. Heck it took them a week just to get me my account then. Things sure have changed.

I guess crime is on the rise on Calypso for Bertha to be spouting this stuff...
