Security Information
Protect yourself and your account
It is very important to Doxmart that you have both a safe and enjoyable experience on our site. Please take some time to read these helpful, common-sense tips.
Passwords and Access
Make sure you use a strong password; the best passwords are made up of a combination of letters and numbers which helps protect your account from human or electronic hacking. Be sure not to use a password that others may guess, such as your name, date of birth or favourite sports team.
Never share your password with anyone.
Change your password regularly.
Use a unique password for your account; one that is not valid for any other purpose.
Do not write passwords down.
Avoid allowing others to access your account without your supervision.
If you have forgotten your password go here to reset it.
Monitor Transactions
Monitor your Doxmart account regularly. Make sure the transactions you see are the ones you make. If you see anything suspicious please Contact Us as soon as possible.
Check also your credit card statements and bank account statements for any signs of unusual activity and report them to us, or your bank or law protection authorities as appropriate.
Spoof Emails and Phishing
