E-gold accounts have always been popular targets for hackers, because so many of the users are not careful with protecting theirs.
Whenever possible, try not to boast how much you have in your egold account. Never disclose your account number unecessary. These simple precautions would go some way in helping to counter hackers.

why egold has always been popular target of hackers because under the term of egold once the amount is transfered then its final, there's nothing like you can open a dispute or escalate a claim like you can do in paypal, i gone through it.

That IP restriction security of e-Gold is a good security resource. I think that you could never be too careful though. Just try not to give out your personal information, if a company sent you an e-mail asking you to type in your password or acct number, don't! Have them call you if that is so important.
