don't reuse passwords.

make sure use secure password.

secure passwords contain @ least 8 characters @ least 1 character upper case alphabet, lower case alphabet, numbers, , symbols.

example, go@wow76

make sure use secure password email account can used reset other account passwords.

never log accounts links contained in emails, email attachments, instant messages, & etc if certificate appears legitimate.

never log accounts don't use encrypted logins while using public wireless networks.

possible web app related online account game contained vulnerability allowed web app compromised without clients' machines being involved. if case, there nothing client (online account holder) can prevent account being compromised.

type of account hacking due keyloggers regardless of os being used victim.

edit: haha, forgot use upper case in secure password example.
