Cam4 can be a fun and exciting place. And we’re working hard to make sure it’s the safest too.<\/p>\n

In order to protect our Cam4 members, lets go through a few reminders on how to keep you and your account safe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Choose a strong password.<\/strong>
\nYour password should include lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and numbers, at least 8 characters long. Whatever you do, don’t make your password, “password”. Or “12345”. Take the extra step to secure your account. Remember, it could be your money we’re talking about here.<\/p>\n

To change your password: on cam4.com<\/a> in the top menu, click Profile [Manage] then select the white password tab.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Don’t click on links you’re not familiar with.<\/strong>
\n“I have you on video, go to this link to see where I posted it.” – If you’re ever received this message, someone is phishing<\/em> for your password. Watch out for links that send you to Yahoo or MSN sign-in pages; it could be a fake page that collects your password. It’s safe to say you shouldn’t click on any links given to you<\/strong>. Anywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Be cautious of people who want to contact you outside of CAM4 (ie. MSN\/Yahoo\/Skype\/AIM).<\/strong>
\nCam4 seeks to protect our members from the scam artists. By contacting someone outside of CAM4, we won’t be able to protect you from them. Adding someone to MSN\/Yahoo\/Skype\/AIM gives them your IP address and opens up the possibility of someone infecting you with malware, viruses, or a keylogger by sending you links or files. If they ask you to see their live show, and the link will ask you to download a video player, and it more than likely will install malware and\/or a keylogger on your computer – giving them full access to your computer. We recommend that you do not accept any files or links<\/strong> that claim to be photos or videos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Watch out for people posing as an Admin or Owner of CAM4 and Surecom.<\/strong>
\nWe don’t contact people through MSN\/Yahoo Messenger\/Skype\/AIM. Don’t add them. We will only contact you in two ways: 1) through our support email from @cam4.biz<\/strong>, or 2) in Cam4 chat, from a gold colored, “ADMIN”<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Update your anti-virus and firewall software regularly.<\/strong>
\nKeep your computer safe from cyber attacks. Here are two free software downloads that you can use:<\/p>\n

To protect yourself against viruses<\/strong>: Download Avast<\/a><\/p>\n

To protect yourself against spyware<\/strong>: Download Spyboy – S&D<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong> Think with your head. No, not that one!<\/p>\n

Have fun people, and happy camming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
