is e-Gold safe?

Tweet

I was robbed out of my $50 from e-gold the other day. So I started thinking, is e-gold safe? Can I trust my money on e-gold? I made a few google search, asked few questions in e-gold related forums, shared experiences with some people who also lost money on e-gold and I learned a few things about e-gold security. It is very difficult (if not imposible) to hack e-gold. Unless the hacker knows your passphrase and have access to the IP address of your computer. But there are ways for hackers to plant trojan viruses via websites you visit. This viruses will wait for you to log in to your e-gold account and will clear all your balances to their acount in seconds. If this happens, there is nothing you could do to get your money back because the e-gold policy is "If you get paid, you stay paid" E-gold is a very convinient way of handling your comercial transaction online. It will be impractical to avoid using e-gold at all for the fear of being robbed. I have written a post on tips of how to secure your e-gold account on my blog. I would have posted it here but I have no "paste" privilege and typing the whole thing again is a chore I would not like to partake.
