in my own i think like this before when i am new to online opportunity but now i am not afraid if my account hacked because i trust the security imposed by paypal to their site. Mostly, PTC will be the main target of the hacker. i don't know why they always make this to ptc sites that earn only small compare to some ptc sites.

I wonder about that. I have received several e-mails over the last couple of years that were supposed to be from Paypal but they were bogus and I forwarded them to Paypal. Paypal sent me a response saying the e-mails were indeed people looking to trick me into giving out security info on my acct.

In computer world especially in online I don't believe in security. Hackers find ways just to hacked every site that has money in it especially this payment processors that we had. What I have is "belief" and "trust".
First, I believe that paypal is capable of being 99percent secured not 100 percent because if we speak 100%, all of us are incapable of accessing in to our account anymore as well as the admin itself in paypal.
Secondly, I trust the site for being one of the oldest payment processor online and I think they have done already some great security improvements in their site right now.

I have a big trust on paypal. But we might not know it, hackers are very well-versed in doing their thing. If you are a victim, it's very terrible and hard to fight their forces and skill. They are all over the place that's why we need to be extra careful.

i also think that most sites especially those dealing with money are now properly secured and still doing some improvements to secure more, the accounts of their members. i can say that paypal is one of the secured sites nowadays.

As long as I have not divulged my password to anyone and I don't open itfrom any link elsewhere, I think I'll be fine. Always open the site directly from the address, and check you see on the address www.paypal.com you'd be fine. Just to reiterate my tip -
WHEN YOU NEED TO GO TO YOUR ACCOUNT, ALWAYS OPEN IT DIRECTLY IN A NEW PAGE. ALWAYS GO TO PAYPAL.COM. E-mail scams to phish has pertinent data about your account has around for a long time now. Just use extreme caution and develop the right habit.
