I dont believe I have ever been hacked in regards to a password being stolen, then again as Zifna has just said I've tended to have different 'levels' of passwords.
Forums and dummy account (like spoof battle.net ones) tend to follow a certain pattern of around 9 different combinations, this means while they are all different, its not going to take long to go through them to find which one is needed should I have to
My email, WoW Account and such have a very old and complex password using all the tricks you can use to make it hard to crack.
A mixture of letters, numbers, capitals and lower case, words spelt with numbers (l337 speak...), words represented by numbers (0 = oh, 8 = ate). Combine that in a phrase or saying which is completly unrelated to any personal information about yourself and you should be safe, cap out the character length or atleast go above 10-15 to be most secure.
I have a bad memory, and even forget how to type my high security password sometimes, only the pattern of how its typed on the keyboard tends to keep it in my memory.
Its really about basic internet safety which most people should be taught at school these days.
Regarding GBank safety alone, I have full access to the money only, all the 'secure' stuff is limited to officers at a few withdrawals per day. We had an occasion where a member got hacked and the person who did it stole around 100 void crystals from the 'open tab', we got them back in the end.
It would be nice if they could incorporate a request system which requires an 'authorization' from an officer (on another account, officer being either R2 by default or a set rank by the GLeader), once done the item gets mailed to the requestee. However this is really too much work on a new function like the Gbank.
