If you really feel like getting a token and the other things that have been suggested aren't going to keep you from getting hacked, why would you have any interest in this game at all? A game where you're going to lose all your progress at any time and there's nothing you can do about it isn't worth playing.

I'm of the opinion that with the right steps you can take responsibility and control of your own account security. Get a security token Make a good password and don't use it anywhere else. Make an email account that doesn't use your character name and that you give out to nobody but SE. Don't buy gil. Don't visit RMT websights or open phishing emails. Get a good antivirus and keep it updated.

It's true that even with all of this, a talented hacker could still get into your account. But if you think someone is going to go through the time, effort, and expense to crack SEs security and totally overrun their systems, or circumvent all antiviruses and take control of your PC, rather than grabbing the literally THOUSANDS of accounts that could care less about security, and do none of the things I mentioned, you're out of your mind. They're running a business and the best business decision is to pick the low hanging fruit. Unfortunately there's a lot of it hanging low.

If you have really used a token and done all of the things I mentioned and still got hacked, I'm truly sorry and I suggest you do what I'll do if I ever get hacked. Run like hell, because if there's no way to keep your progress in a game there's no sense playing it.
