Just don't understand why Blizzard cannot implement the system on the US servers.

I think there is actually good security in WOW. I know that on the Mac they lock out the keyboard from other programs while WOW is the forefront application until you get past the login screen. I am under the impression they do the same in Windows. Basically the only thing that has access to the keyboard is the game and the OS.
What people do under estimate are the number of stupid people who use their account names and passwords for WOW related sites! Let alone people who have their main and account name the same. Then we can add in the number of people who share accounts, by the guild chat I listen in on its more than most imagine, and suddenly you have all sorts of ways for people to be hacked. Hell half the time I see people claim they were hacked I wonder if its someone they knew.
We have one person in my guild who levels fishing for her boyfriend and OTHER players. She logs on their accounts and levels it. Usually in exchange for running her through BGs to get gear (she is not the worlds greatest player but like is so damn kitted out to look awesome standing there)
