Have a hacked account? There is something you can do about it.

A third party leaked SE account information. SE confirmed that was a fact.

That's not actually what they've said, because the way you've written it implies it's SE which is at fault which isn't the case.

Their post on this is located here: http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...41eaefc2aeef7b

What they were warning about was where people have used the same username and/or passwords on other sites and THOSE sites have been compromised which in turn then gives the intruders access to your SE login details (because they were the same). There hasn't been any SE security breach.

Even if only the same username was used on another sites, if it's a Final Fantasy related site, it still gives those people a head start to getting into your account because that's a higher probability of having a SE account than trying to randomly guess.
