You only get hacked if you let them. Usually without even realizing it, if the hackers are doing their job properly. Either through downloading a program that has a keyloger attached, entering account info on a dummy page, by using the same passwords for everything (once you are compromised in one situation, they try the same passwords for every other site that uses your ID), or many other methods. I can guarantee you that hackers are not, at random, scouring for IP's to secretively sneak into your computer and get your FFXIV information.


Many of these "hackers" have a large database full of account info, everything from banking information to email logins, to facebook accounts. But they get it all by your own hand.

Sorry if this angers people but it is true. Never once got hacked in WoW or even received fake emails until my son installed a mod on my computer for the Curse.com auto mod updater (or something like that) then it brought a keylogger and they got my info. Lost my level 80 and everything. I contacted Blizzard, got everything straightened out, got my account rolled back, and removed the keylogger, but since then I get a constant stream of fake emails trying to get my info again.

Educate yourself in how these "hackers" get your information, learn to spot fake from genuine and protect yourself. Its not up to the world to protect you from your own mistakes. Pull up your pants, accept responsibility and learn from it.
