i really don't how they are able to hack our paypal id. hopefully that they will not be able to hack my password. i will just be careful on the sites that i join to or surf to.
But hacking has become pretty easy and powerfull these days that no one real detect it. I thing we should have paypal secured login ...???what you say
i think hte best way is to make a difficult password to hack. i really don't know what else can we do to protect our acount.
I always a choose a difficult Id and per month i change my password. I think it is the best prosses to keep it safe.Quote:

The main technique that hackers use for stealing your passwords is phishing. The best solution is to install a good antivirus and keep it updated.
I've never had mine hacked thankfully...i relaly hope that i don't ever get mine hacked and i think one of the biggest things is to never give anyone your password no matter what
Well even if you dont give your password to anyone, hackers can still hack your password. What do you think ? A site gets hacked just because it keeps telling everyone it's password ? :lol:Quote:

Yeah that is what Iam exactly trying to say. We cannot do anything if the site gets hacked. Paypal has to take preventive measures so that it's site is not hacked.
Well i guess the best way to secure you paypal account is not visiting malicious websites and responding to suspicious mails.The hackers just send some email from a fake account forcing to log in from those pages.So i just want all of the users to remain careful and not leak out your details to keep your account safe.
As far as my experience goes the most secure way is to keep on changing your password ....
If there are payments waiting to be accepted then open the account seperatly and then access your account, avoid clicking the link in the mails.
Never save your password in your computer also ... At times that might act against you ...
its better to use long passwords with hard symbols and i am sure no one will track it ;)
I think that some hard password with some unusual symbol will be good here. However. that is also not very safe some times.
Another thing is that we should never store our password in our computer also.
Never keep the same password for paypal and for any other site.
There is another solution to keep your paypal account as secure as possible. There are some anti-virus softwares which come with a virtual keyboard. If you are use a virtual keyboard to type your password, then the keystrokes are not detected and there is less probability that your password may leak out.
I am from India and paypal has not accepted my debit card. In order to verify my account, i had to give my credit card number. I asked them several times and their replies were not satisfactoy. At last from different sources I found that Paypal accepts only Credit Card.
In India usually all debit cards are Visa Electron and Paypal does not accept Visa Electron cards from India because they do not have SSN Number.Quote:

hacker will not withdraw small amounts. They always look after big money. Our paypal account is safe from hackers.Quote:

just installing anti virus on your personal computer is not enough you must also install antispyware by which you can know whether anyone is trying to access your computer.it is very easy to access anyones computer if they are using internet.so beware!!
that is true... Anyone can access others computer if he/she is using internet, so it is always preferable to use anti-spyware.. :)Quote:

I don't know whether this point has already discussed here or not. If 'yes' then I am really sorry for that.
well. i have download one libertyguard on my firefox and i can be leaded to access the correct paypal site. since there are one feature added paypal's address also.
I guess that is the precaution you have to take but it does not mean that paypal is not secure because i think paypal is secure.Although Alert pay has better security still paypal is also good.Quote:

Ya.Actually both alert pay and paypal has good security so i think nobody has to worry that much over this security issue.Quote:

Ya but when user has no mistake and data gets hacked then whose mistake is it? Thats why i guess some processors repay that amount.I dont know about this issue that much.Quote:
