I personally have used Chaturbate and I say it is safe. At first I received all of my payments via check because I thought direct deposits were scary.
Now, I am more than happy that I switched. I haven’t had a single problem and in fact the benefit of quicker and easier access to my money is something I wouldn’t trade for anything.
If you need to help yourself feel more secure about it, familiarize yourself with your banks policies. Your bank has policies in place in the event that your bank account is compromised. This shouldn’t be a problem since Chaturbate is trustworthy in my opinion. Just make sure you set it up from a secure network connection, not a public wifi hotspot.
You could also create a separate bank account for only Chaturbate’s deposits. I will admit that is what I did, as I was very skeptical at first.
You should be aware of the ways that setting up a direct deposit could be compromised, and what steps you could take to minimize any risks.
Chaturbate isn’t going to be hacked any time soon, but either way that is out of your control. The site uses secure servers that protect their users data.
Your information could be “pulled out of the air” as it flies over a wifi signal at a public wifi spot. Avoid this by using a wired internet connection at home or by using your own, personal wifi connection, or even your phones data service.
For your information to be sniffed over the network, a malicious hacker would need to be connected to your internet. To avoid this, make sure that your wifi password is strong and secure. I know it is really convenient to have your password be pippylongstockings or watercow91, but these passwords are not secure. Your password should not include any words found in the dictionary, or any words at all. A strong, safe password is inconvenient as all heck, like 8%HfK865^$*. This password sucks, I know it does, but nobody is going to crack it easily. Most passwords are cracked using dictionary attacks, meaning word lists are used in each combination until the correct password is found.
This is an easy password to forget, so to make sure that you don’t lose it, write it down on a piece of paper and secure it in a safe place.
This may seem like a lot of effort, but it can save a lot of trouble in the long run.
