Anonymity and security in the HYIP industry - how to protect yourself when investing?
There are quite a few articles devoted to anonymity and the protection of your data on the Internet, and in recent years this topic has become particularly relevant. Even if you have nothing to hide and you do not conduct any illegal activities, but simply invest in HYIPs, you still should not forget about confidentiality. How it is provided by investors and HYIP admins - read this article.
Does an investor need anonymity?
Working with HYIPs, we somehow provide certain information about ourselves. In the process of registration, we are offered to indicate your full name, residential address and mail, in the course of the investment we reveal our wallets in payment systems. And just by visiting the website of the HYIP Foundation, without even knowing it, we reveal a lot of data about our location, IPaddress, browser, etc. Shining such information can be unsafe, because you can become easy prey for all sorts of machinations:
- After you specify your real mail address in the HYPE, it will become a trash box, which will receive a variety of spam. The fact is that many admins collect investor bases and then successfully sell them to someone or use to advertise their subsequent projects.
- Regarding mail, you can get into another story. For example, if you have a common box for both payments and HYIPs, and you also set the password everywhere the same, then if your mail is hacked, you can say goodbye to wallets and money on them.
- Knowing your real name and location data, attackers can easily identify you as an individual. Indeed, at the present time we indicate a lot of information about ourselves in various social networks. As far as this can be dangerous - one can only guess.
- If the hype site is not secure protected SSLencryption, then make payment, especially using a credit card, is very dangerous. Let's not forget that often under the name of a well-known HYIP a phishing site can be hidden, which will be very happy to receive a deposit from you.
- If you are obsessed with anonymity online, then using cryptocurrency in HYIPs is unsafe, unless you make payments with coins with increased anonymity. It is no secret that the blockchain of Bitcoin or the air contains all the information about addresses and transactions. In some cases it is even less safe to work with a crypt than to pay in cash, how to protect yourself you can read in this article.
As you can see, the provision of information in itself carries a certain danger, therefore not only administrators, but also depositors should be given due confidentiality and as much as possible to protect themselves and their money. The sphere of high-yield investments in itself carries risks for your funds and you should not put yourself under additional threat due to negligence.
How to ensure confidentiality and security when investing?
Many investors use to visit HYIP resources. VPNservices to hide real data IP-address and location. Of course, if you do not include VPN This does not mean that you will be calculated by IP and will certainly find. Just if you want to keep as few traces as possible on the network and be completely sure of your privacy, then such precautions will not be superfluous.
One of the most relevant methods to protect personal space will be to use a special mailbox for HYIPs. If you do not want to litter the main Email-address and receive spam from various sources, it is not necessary to “shine” with this mailbox. You can create an additional account and specify it in the process of working with investment projects. For payments, we advise you to use a separate mail at all, which you will not indicate anywhere else that will allow you to save your wallets.
A separate category of investors indicates non-existing email addresses, thus trying to protect themselves from spam. Although this option and rolls in many projects that do not require confirmation of the mailing address, but you should not do so. Firstly, you will not be able to receive notifications from the project, for example, about changes in tariffs or promotions. Secondly, if you suddenly lose your password, then you will not be able to restore it without mail.
As for the security of billing data, then there is no need to say that you need to be especially vigilant. Always pay attention to the presence of data encryption, and also check the domain name of the hyip in order not to accidentally get to the phishing site. Especially be careful when creating a deposit from a bank card and do not indicate the PIN code, CVC / CVV2 code, card validity period in combination with the name of its holder directly on the website of the hype. This information is superfluous and may be used for fraudulent purposes.
It's no secret that for each project you need to come up with a strong password. It is very important not to use the same registration data for different funds. In the history of the HYIP industry more than once there were cases when the admin used the user's password in his project in order to withdraw money from his accounts in other HYIPs. And not only investors but also bloggers came across this.
Separately, I would like to say that a cloud of fraudsters is operating in the network, they thrive especially in Telegram and Skype. Often, these schemers get accounts, copying bloggers or project administrators, and start offering some services or stupidly throw money on them. Therefore, for your own safety, it is better to ignore contacts with all sorts of dubious personalities who write to you, and to get contacts you need to use a reliable source - a search in Telegram or Skype does not apply to such.
How are admins hiding?
HYIP admins can rightfully be considered the geniuses of conspiracy, who perfectly mastered the skill of hiding their data. Depending on the level of the administrator and his experience, a variety of encryption methods can be used, because if an investor working with HYIPs can only bear an indirect threat, then the governing body needs to be able to sweep tracks well.
First of all, a smart admin will never see his real data. In this case, you will need not only paid VPN, but also documents of drops. In order to register a phony company in the UK or Australia, no one will use their passport, and other documents are provided for passing verification in payment systems. Needless to say, such admins have special schemes for withdrawing and cashing their profit.
Many organizers of large and famous projects during their work not only change the city of residence, but sometimes the country. As for admin-newbies, some of them may not realize that, apart from VPN There are other methods to protect oneself and do not hesitate to “shine” personal information. What consequences this may have - history is silent.
Investors have no need to resort to special methods of anonymization, but you should not forget about the security and protection of personal information either. Successful and safe investment!
