No. If you or anyone else uses the same email address (OR SCREEN NAME) and password on any 3rd party site that has been hacked, then your password is potentially know to 3rd parties. If you use a simple password like a name, or number that can be associated with you, your password is easily guessed through a dictionary attack. Neither of these things re Squsre Enix's fault, and given that Square Enix has already been targeted before by hackers and has considerably hardened their login security as well as adding security token options, accusing SE of lying about something is really off base. I work in network security, and a keylogger, phishing, compromised 3rd party site login or simply a hacked 3rd party site are the most likely sources for the password for your account. How is Supposed to "give you your stuff back"? It's not their fault you used a crap password.
