Is in-game gil hacking still occuring?

[Matsume]

The specific incident of Gill Hacking which you are most likely referring to happened about a week ago. The supposed hackers targeted characters that had 300K or more and were logged in at the time. From what I understand they attempted to gain access to these players accounts by impersonating said account owners. If you were not logged in at the time you could not have been targeted . I believe the threat has since passed. You should feel safe logging in now.

I have the physical security tokens (FFXI, FFXIV 1.0, FFXIV ARR). I actually have the app on my iPhone for it which I am currently using, and my password is very unique. I have letters, numbers, and a special character that makes it extra secured. So I'm safe on that!

Numbers and special characters don't really help. Best bet would be to have a password that's long, comprised of random words that you can easily remember.

It is quite long, at 10 characters long. I had only used my Retainer once, and that was to store my materials I had gathered for crafting. I haven't sold anything on the Market Boards yet, but I did buy some fishing bait awhile back and that was about it.
