Protection of E-Money

Unfortunately, money can be stolen on the Internet. However, year by year e-money systems exert more and more efforts to prevent this kind of situations. For the beginning, certainly, you need to register in a secure system. The most widely spread systems make a great choice. For example, Webmoney, QIWI, Yandex Money, Bitcoin. And if in the past there were many reports on e-money theft, now they are fewer and fewer. The most important is not to register in systems that are rarely used and do not provide additional security. Well, it is rather clear that after registration you need take care of your funds’ security. For instance, you may identify your wallet. If not at full, at least partially. Webmoney offers an opportunity to receive a formal certificate (after entering passport data), the same way you may increase reliance of data at QIWI and Yandex Money.

How to protect your account from hacking and theft?

   Perhaps, the main protection method now is SMS-confirmation for payments. So, you’d better sign-up to this option in the first place. Besides that, you may use additional protection means (IP, payment password, etc.) All these measures properly secure your account against hacking, because even if a fraud knows the password he cannot access your mobile phone and learn your special payment password. Perfect Money doesn’t provide a perfect security system as protection is limited with IP only. Thus, if a person with different IP-address enters the system, you’ll automatically receive an e-mail with PIN-code for confirmation; that is all. Surely, if a fraud hacked your passwords, he would be able to access both a payment system and e-mail, and as a result, embezzle your funds.
  That is why, if you need to use e-payment systems, you’d better (despite technical troubles) pass the identification procedure and join SMS-confirmation service.
