Yes, I just checked my account. My character seemed to be in the exact same place I parked her, with no changes to inventory. And I always play on the same computer (which no-one has access to)

The only other thing i can think off is maybe they just wanted people to change their passwords (similiar how GW2 did a few months after launch because of a breach) but SE did not want to actually be honest with their customers. I enjoy the game, but this has really annoyed me, since it is so vague and seems to be suggesting I was doing something wrong.
