| - | # Use a secure password (To check the password how secure it is http://howsecureismypassword.net/). You should not use your games’ username and password combination for any other websites. | ||
| - | # Change your password often. Changing your password once a month, or so, helps ensure your old account information is not able to be used to hijack your account. | ||
| - | # Never give out your password to anyone, including the games’ support representatives. A lot of game account hijacks are actually perpetrated by a “trusted” friend, family member, or “guildy”, that users have given their account details to. Most support representatives of online games will NEVER ask you for your password or other secret account information (i.e. your secret question) – if they do, it’s likely not a request from a legitimate support representative. | ||
| - | # Don’t play/login from any computer but your own. You don’t know what may be on the system monitoring your activities/keystrokes. | ||
| - | # Keep your software and AV programs up to date. | ||
| - | # If you have the means, install and play your online games on a computer dedicated for ONLY that purpose. Doing your web surfing and email activities on a separate (not networked) computer significantly increases the chance your game accounts are secure. | ||

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.
