So I do not want to take that chance of getting hack by doing anything. How would one avoid getting hacked? Also how do people hack? I mean i never download anything i change my passwords every-so once in a while. How could i avoid getting hacked?
Use at least a 12 character password, never give your password to anyone else(Not even your best friend, girl friend, mom, dad etc). Don’t use any obvious passwords, like pet names or other.
You already stated you don’t download anything, so that’s a good step in the right direction. Always scan everything you download, if you ever do. Basically use common sense and stay away from sites that are deemed dangerous.
I use Lastpass, been using it for ages now and it manages my passwords great, I don’t even know my passwords. So I would recommend a good password manager, so you don’t even have to remember any and you can even generate secure passwords.
How do people hack? These days it’s mostly cracking or script kiddies, but I will not get into any of that. There are too many ways to do it, best to just secure yourself and be as safe as you can.
Another trick used by gamers is to make a unique e-mail and a unique password specifically for GW2, and have different passwords for each. Another hacking technique is to steal log on information from forums and other sites and try using that info in the game. They get a hit often enough to keep doing it.
