Hack.. most people will hate being hacked, to knowing that you own big money on your account and you had lose it. So how do we are going to prevent it?! This post will teach you several ways to avoid from being hacked

If you want to tell about your email then do it privately, or you can post your email like this: youremail [a] host.com, this will also prevent you from being spammed because there are many spam bot machine out there that could detect and spamming your email.

2. Use Different EmailHaving 2 different email from your payment processor and your GPT (Get Paid To) program is the best way to prevent you from being hacked.

3. Use different PasswordUsing different password in multiple site is a good way to avoid from being hacked. You'll have to make 2 different password that are used for

1. Email 2. Payment processor and 3. GPT (Get Paid To) program

If you have good memory then you could possibly memorize it or just type in notepad, put that in safe place and consider to NOT put in your My Document folder. And if possible, try to using different and unique filename that someone won't even bothered to open it.

4. Be SmartWhen you have to join something, you have to make sure whether its a Scam site or not, for PTC (Paid-to-Click) site you can see them Here. If there is any site that offering you to make money with fast then do explore on Google! If you feel doubt on the site that you're about to join in, then use different password and different email is the best option to avoid from being hacked

5. Do Not use Common PasswordCommon password means something that relates to your life, it could be your Birthday, your parent name or your first 3 digit telephone number. The best solution for this is to use a combination of special character, letter and number and these are the best way of creating good password!

6. Do Not Join Warez/Hacking/Porn SiteThe chance of getting hacked from this site is pretty high. If you really insist to sign up, use different password and email from the one you used often.

7. Never telling your passwordNever telling your password to whoever they are, even to your friend. Any unexpected things could be happening, For example, if you'd happen to have an affair with your friend, there's a possibility that they could do something really bad on you.

8. Never Open Unknown EmailIf you don know anything about the thing you're just received in your email or never recall that you have been involved in that site, then don't bother to open or even clicking on it. Some phishing attempt could come from anywhere that claimed themselves from Yahoo, Paypal, e-gold and Alertpay. If you must click the URL to find out, then please read the address bar, if its lead to somewhere else instead then its very obvious its a phishing attempt

And thats all from me, if you want to add your experience here from not being hacked, then please do so to help other from protecting their account
