Best Practices for Online Gaming
Now a days, several Web sites allow users to play online games. But most of them allow users to access the games hosted on them so long as they register with the site. The membership is usually made available to users for a fee. Some gaming sites allow users to save their points. Users can then redeem these points for gifts or convert them into money. Therefore, such Web sites are often targeted by hackers.
Here is a list of best practices that you can follow to protect your gaming accounts:
- Always ensure that your password is longer than eight characters and contains a combination of alphanumeric and special characters (To check the password how secure it is http://howsecureismypassword.net/).
- Change your password regularly.
- Never use the user id and password of your gaming account on any other Web site.
- Do not share your passwords with anyone.
- Do not use shared or public computers to log on to your gaming account.
- Always ensure that your Anti-Virus program is updated and has the latest virus definitions.
