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 ^^
Back in my years on imvu, someone made this exact point. Different user base, same problems. People making thread after thread of HACKED!!! when in reality, it was mostly people giving passwords and going to non-secure sources/not logging out and getting their accounts jacked. And their customer support is nowhere close to SE or even Nexon.
