SE was last hacked in 2011, if you're still using the same password since then, that is stupid.

"Currently, we have confirmed that a third party is using account names and passwords, thought to be obtained from security breaches of other companys' online services, in attempts to gain unauthorized access to Square Enix accounts.

If you are using the same account name or password as your Square Enix account on other online services, there is a much greater chance that a security breach at any of the other online services could potentially lead to your Square Enix account being compromised."

More bluntly, if you use the same username and password somewhere else, that is why you were hacked. Please stop being stupid. Use the authenticator.
