what happens when you are hacked?

i'm just curious what actually happens when your account is hacked? does SE help you restore it, or do you lose it forever because its breach is (always) the players' fault?

They'll help you restore, and it is always the players fault, they are always somehow the main cause of the breach but you won't lose the account forever, it'll just take some work to get it back

you should get an email
giving you info on why you account was suspended
with links on what to do
you might need to fill and a support ticket
you may need to want the time of the suspension
and the support ticket may take some time for SE to proses as well

you will need to change your password, next time you can log in

and everyone should have a security Token (hardware or software) for there account
