Lately a lot of Gaians have been getting hacked so I thought I would post a few ideas to prevent your accounts from getting hacked:

-Never share your password.
-Do not make it a obvious password.
-If someone offers you free items just out of the blue ignore them.
-Try to change your password occasionally.

-If you hit a link that takes you to the login page and you have to renter your information exit from that page.

Also, avoid anything that leads to a site about a Gaia Gold Generator. Those are bad to.

My Tip:
Since I got hacked from a 'cookie snatcher link' ... not sure of the correct term but... If you click any link ((including a tinyurl)) it maybe best to clear your cookies before you follow it and change your pass a bit after it. That way if your cookies get stolen you can still protect yourself more by changing your pass.
My pass... a name of one of my old cats.... Wanna know whats funny? At one point in time I had over 50 cats at once XP so think how many i've had in my lifetime? ... And I was a little kid so clearly I made up weird names that were combinations of many words I thought were cool at the time... So... even if someone could say it they wouldn't be about to spell it.

We rarely ever get viruses... We use AVG Free Edition... have for YEARS and it does very nicely ^^ ... I haven't ran a scan in awhile to check to see how the computer is doing. I think I may do that soon to make sure I don't have anything on here that may aid some hacker 0.0

I'll have to look in on that program. I hear that firefox is good for alerting it's users to keylogger sites.

And 50 cats! Only time I've seen that was on animal planet when it was bad enough police had to be sent in to rescue them. But I am positive you took care of them ^^ I love cats!

Get on my good side...
Also, if you get a link to something and it signs you out, check the url because chances are it is just a way to get your password.

Actually, checking the url will let you know if you're in an actual gaia site or not.
...you might get something <3
