That's why they crashed the client and then disabled your ability to open it again with the injection virus. If you tried to log in using a newly generated number, it'd kill the one they captured. But if they broken your client after stealing it, they had time at their leisure to log into your account and steal all your stuff.
Seems like there would be a number of ways around this. 1. If you have the game installed on more than one machine, you could just log on using the non-infected machine. 2. You could log out of the forums and log back in, using a new password in the process.
