A grand gesture in reminding people about simple safety steps, but I think real education needs to go further. So far I've seen some people responding here who are actually hurting themselves with the security they think they've got.

JAG: It's a good system. It's not remotely difficult to keep track of the answers you've input, but I highly recommend not doing so on a piece of paper or something. LastPass is a very good program that one could use, for actual ******** keeping as well. I will admit I've only had to use JAG on another computer once, and it wouldn't accept the correct answers. I don't know if that has been fixed, however support was able to get JAG removed within a day. There was no real loss.

Basic computer security. Cocoa Kat provided an excellent example of what to never do. Multiple security programs or firewalls may sound like better protection, but all it means is conflicting programs and essentially zero security in the end. Also, a VPN is for privacy, not security.

At the end of the day, considering the vast amount of computer illiteracy even gamers share, I feel anyone intent on teaching security could go a step further. Doesn't take much.

Dear Jagex, I made this account because my account "Free Drygore" A level 200cb with 2240 total level email was changed without my knowing. I have JAD set, email set, recoveries, and anything else that made my account safe was already taken care of. Please help me. Free Drygore's login name is "Aaronk567".
Thank you
Aaron

How to keep your account secure is common sense to me, but I know everyone makes mistakes, and there are very shady people out there - who pride themselves in being able to steal information, whether by infecting your computer with a virus, etc.

I hope the community really does take the initiative after reading this thread to help keep their account safe. Thank you Jagex for posting this. It's a great reminder, nonetheless, to always be on guard to watch out for tricky links and other mysterious things.
