I know every one here are fully aware of this matter but believe there are more things that we should learn about hackers. I have been in online job since 2007 and I have been hacked once in my old Paypal account because of this I take more precautions in securing my password and joining sites. Yesterday I have learned another lesson and that is never trust your internet security software, why? Because they also have a glitched I would not mention mined but in this case it would easily be explained that I have received a message in my email which appears to be registered and send by my payment processor informing me that someone have tried to open my account in some part of the world so I panic. The message contains a safety precautions asking me to reset my passwords or change my security options (sounds like true) and the link was provided for me to change my security settings. Why didn't I get suspicious? It's simple the link address is my payment processors address and the page itself looks exactly the sames page as my payment processor but apparently that is the real site of my payment process the link provide is phishing sites you will never tell which one is true and did they done. After I change my password all the details I input to that page was send to someone else and that includes the answer to the security questions. I'm not that dumb but believe the URL address, the Page, and other staff are exactly to be the same as your payment processor site but it is not so be very careful whenever you have received a notification saying that some have log in with your ex. Paypal account in this IP blah blah... if you do not permit this action or never log in in this place please check your security settings here" never click the link.

Yes there is also one thing you should avoid and that is Adult Sites, Those sites may gives your computer a complete junk of links and pop ups mostly malware. Never subscribed to anything unless it was your friends site, even blogs this days have a virus.

I receive some emails stating it is from LibertyReserve. I have an account there and I received an email to my other email address which I did not use for any of my LR accounts. Do you guys also receive this kidn of email? I haven't experienced the one with Paypal though. And hopefully I will not.

That is what exactly happened to me I don't know how I got that emailed to but It simply hacked me in an instant because after I reset my password I can no longer Log in in my liberty reserve account it always prompt me that my password is incorrect and when I tried to reset it my security answer is also not working, same thing happens to my paypal and now they were both compromised lucky for me I had able to recover my paypal account but my Libertyreserve is already out of my control because even the security question have been change.

It is possible for hackers and scammers to steal money by getting us to provide our financial information on their payment processor account. They copy the original payment processor company's webpages almost 100%. But it is likely to notice some changes in the webpages and if you do then you should immediately contact the original company. Phishing sites tun up if your computer's security and firewall protection is breached or leaked.

I am receiving lots of email, telling blah,blah, your paypal account is compromise...
Once I received them, I throw them in my thrash. I NEVER OPEN MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT ON ANY EMAIL LINK, even on actual email I received from Paypal. WHY? There's a lot of phishing emails right there... Whenever, whatever, I go to my paypal account directly by typing their ip address directly on my browser.
Also, I never use my primary email address on paypal in receiving payment so hackers will only know the payment receiving email address of my account.
As always, I already knows whenever I received a phishing paypal email. How? They are sending it on my wrong email address. I only received paypal email on my main account!

I have always have a doubt in trusting online processor because there are hackers everywhere trying to steal money, that is unfair to me, I think these are my hard earn money, that I needed to pay off some bills and food, that is why now I don't register in any new site except mylot and one site that has recently become scam through a search I made in scamadviser.com

Thats sad but that is why they tell you to never log into your payment account from a site . Enter your own url in your browser and I also try not to enter my real payment email on sites unless I get some review and meet payout .
