The ids are being hacked...so not disclose them publicly in any forums...be careful with such stuff!!

ID's? You mean email address? Yes. I think that's a problem While email has been really convenient, it's time to start using user names.

the second reason for not giving email address online (paypal id or even others) is that doing that basically you are giving an invitation to spam bots to spam your email

I am not aware that even paypal is now being hacked. egold is being hacked too. What can we do to protect our accounts? We rely on paypal and egold for our transactions online.

Just use a long password with letters and numbers, and change it frequently. Also, if your email address is, say 'pratchettfan@watever.blah' then don't use Rincewind as your password - use something totally unrelated, its harder to guess.

PayPal too says.
"NEVER give your password to anyone, including PayPal employees. Protect yourselfagainst fraudulent websites by opening a new web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer orNetscape) and typing in the PayPal URL every time you log in to your account."
