As a world of warcraft player
for years, you must care about the safety of accounts wow. What most wow player worry about is that hackers attack their
wow account by guessing password.
We cannot absolutely control a computer connecting
with internet. Your PC can be detected by hackers if the connection is not that
secure. Almost every computer will installs a firewall on computer to avoid
virus risk. What is the most safety ways to prevent being hacked?
You should know the basic rules.
Don’t give others access to your world of warcraft account. Use numbers and
symbols as well as letters to make your password complicate to guess. Don’t
reuse passwords across a lot of other accounts. Never follow a link from an
e-mail to a strange website or URL that looks like an enterance of your account
information.
Even if you’re not a
professional player, you would better use an authenticator. Because that once your
wow account gets hacked, the first things that the hacker will do is add one to
your account and lock you out. It forces you to prove your identity to Blizzard
customer service.
Setting up an authenticator
could be a little hard for you. You should enter a code by the website once you
downloaded it. And Blizzard will also ask you to enter the code displayed on
your screen before they give the access, which changes every 30 seconds. The
code is unique to your login and can be used for once. Certainly, you can
remove the authenticator from world of warcraft account at any time you want.
It is difficult to ensure your wow
account security, which is where the Blizzard Authenticator comes in. However,
wow authenticator is just a mathematical equation, it can not prevent accounts
wow being hacked. You may have heard of some complaints from authenticator
owner who has been hacked. The problem of being hacked is not how much private
information of account wow you have leaked. The really serious is who have seen
your private information.
You’re surely at risk if you have downloaded a hack
program or other morally dubious apps to play world of warcraft game. But most
of wow players need the help of these programs. In my opinion, you need
dedicated anti-virus software working with your computer like commercial
packages from McAfee. If you end up switching your anti-virus on a regular
basis as it slows down your games, look for a better resource management, like Sunbelt’s VIPRE.
