Even if they catch your account number, chances that you have the same password after all that trouble is low. Moreover, cracking two e-gold accounts is not as easy as hacking into one.

Anyway, what messages are you suggesting one should search for?

Obviously a scam mail. Just ignore it. Many must be falling for these scams, as the count of these mails just keep increasing day by day. Just make sure you're not a victim.

I think if they send notice to you can incur a confusion and make no different to hacker. To avoid this, you log into your account and you will know those latest update done there. It is good not to send any email to avoid such misunderstanding.

What is major concern to everyone now is the customer service support in order to get the feedback in short. This one I agree it is very poor and other than that, E-Gold generally has provided sufficient feature to send and receive money.

for me i find that settng up an e-gold account is very easy...
i didn't find any problem while i'm ceating mine..
but for the saftey thing i guess your account can be safe if you used the (srk) and the E-mail pin...
and it is up to you if you want to work with alot of ptr and pts programmes you have to make an e-gold account for your self if not so don't make one.

e-gold account hacking were very common during 2006-7....

If you want to be safe....Be sure to use the SRK when you put your password...
And NEVER ever click on link in a e-mail...

My accounts have never been hacked and I'm using EG since March 2006...

Win32.Grams.I is a trojan that attempts to steal e-Gold funds. Basically, this is how it works:

When executed, Grams.I copies itself to %Windows%\wmedia32.exe and modifies the registry to ensure that this file is executed at each Windows start:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run \Shell = "%Windows%\wmedia32.exe"

Note: '%Windows%' is a variable location. The trojan determines the location of the current Windows folder by querying the operating system. The default installation location for the Windows directory for Windows 2000 and NT is C:\Winnt; for 95,98 and ME is C:\Windows; and for XP is C:\Windows.

It also creates the following mutex: {FAF31DDA-1949-12d3-A520-00435F21AFDE} to ensure that only one copy of the trojan runs at a time on the affected machine.

Attempts to Steal e-Gold Funds
Grams.I monitors Internet Explorer windows until the user visits the egold login page: e-gold.com/acct/login.html .

Once the user is logged in Grams opens a hidden Internet Explorer window in which it accesses the user's account balance: e-gold.com/acct/balance.asp.

After ascertaining the value of the user's account it attempts to transfer their funds to another account using the hidden window.

Zone Alarm presently can detect this virus. I presume all other Anti-virus pgms can as well.

Installing an antivirus doesn't mean that you can stop all the viruses from attacking you're cmputer.
I suggest using "Deep Frreze" which is a very good way to prevent from viruses and spammers, and even from your mistakes such as disinstalling a software or disabling a device...
