This article contains useful information concerning EGold and security which I feel would be beneficial for all to read.

The following email is from e-gold to an Administrator who claims their account was hacked, the response it NOT what would give anyone pleasure reading.


The person who compromised your account used the automated interface to spend the funds. There is no pin required for automated spends which is why you did not receive a pin e-mail for that ip address. You may want to adjust your automation attributes to restrict automated spends to a specific ip block or disable this option entirely.

Your security is also disabled you will need to update your security level to prevent future problems.

Please check your computer for the following Trojans Win32/Goldun.ia; GDIWXP.DLL and pwsteal.trojan. We have had a couple of customers who reported being infected with these viruses.
