Someone hacked the user's account, invited and promoted a dummy account, cleared out the gil, then left. I doubt there was a lack of security, an inside job as some like to point out, or carelessness here. Sad truth of today is, no matter how secure you think you are people have a way to hack in and steal your info if they want it. Look at all the latest security breaches for an idea there.
"Hacking" accounts is probably possible (if you put in enough time, effort and ressources, everything is hackable) but not worth the effort. 99.99% of cases involve the account owner not paying attention, social engineering, phishing mails or websites, malware, or not changing email/password combinations after they already leaked somewhere else.
Actual hacking is way too costly in means of time and effort to be worthwhile, that's the reason it doesn't happen to all of us on a daily basis. It'd cost criminals more than they can make by hacking us poor peasants ^^
