If your system can communicate with it, malware can communicate with it.
If someone really wants to hack your account they'd have it setup so that when PoL attempts to send out your Account info (Token Code, Username, SE name, Passwords) it rejects the connection similar to a firewall blocking access, it then sends the information to the hacker so they can log on before the token key resets and change your password.

False sense of security is what the token really is besides extra in game inventory.

The token was a legal way for SE to charge for inventory space while making people scared of hackers feel safer when they really aren't.
