The account of the tanker must be well protected from scammers, as it is of great importance. The player could have invested a lot of money and time in the game, so it will be difficult to accept his loss. In order for your account to be well protected, you need to follow some steps.
Ways to protect your WOT account
There are many ways to secure access to your account:
- Confidentiality of personal data. This is the most common rule for all Internet users, however, it must always be observed and in no case should anyone voice their login and password. Many scammers pose as employees of Wargaming, with the pretext of providing personal data for certain purposes. No one will ever require login data, company employees are always warned about this, which is why the information is called confidential.
- The complexity of the login and password. Players often create an account with an existing username and password on other projects, so as not to forget. However, these actions lead to the theft of the account. It is also not recommended to indicate your name or date of birth, as fraudsters can easily recognize the data.
- Antivirus. There are various spyware and malicious files that are able to recognize the saved data on the computer. If the user does not have an antivirus installed, then this should be done immediately. After installation, you need to perform a deep scan of the entire hard drive. The antivirus program should always have the latest updates. Before entering World of Tanks, you can turn it off to increase the performance of the game.
- Phishing filter. You need to enable the phishing filter in your browser. This feature distinguishes official sites from fake ones. It has long been no secret that the address of the official website of worldoftanks has been changed many times, indicating several other letters. At the next entrance, the user does not read the address lines, and the title page of the site is absolutely the same, but as soon as the player enters any data, the scammers immediately intercept them and steal the account. To avoid such situations, you need to enable the phishing filter in your browser settings.
- Link to mobile phone. In your personal account on the official website of the game, you can link your account to a phone number so that in case of any data changes, a notification will be sent to the phone number.
- Frequent password changes. For greater confidence in the protection of your account, it is necessary to change the password characters monthly, this will significantly reduce the risk of theft.
- Email. It is recommended to create an individual mailbox for the World of Tanks game. With one mailbox for all applications, the risk of account theft increases significantly, since the email address will be associated with many sites. Individual mail for the game will increase security, especially since all notifications will only come from the world of tanks.
- Fraud Sites. Currently, there are a lot of advertisemyonts on the Internet that offer a lot of gold or premium tanks at a low price. You should never visit them, even for fun, because all activities can be monitored by scammers and spyware.
- Fashion. A large number of players use special programs to improve the interface or other features. It is recommended to download only proven mods. There are many collections of mods on the Internet, however, you should download only proven ones. Basically, these are the mods of popular bloggers and modders.
- Saving data in the browser. The browser often offers to save data when entering the site in order to further reduce the time and log in automatically. The function is undoubtedly convenient, but too dangerous, since a stranger can see personal information and use it for their own purposes.
If you do all of the above methods, then the account will be protected as much as possible.
You always need to monitor security, create complex passwords, run an antivirus program check and enable all possible protections on your computer, otherwise the account may be lost and it will be almost impossible to restore it.
