[X] My Assistant

Someone hacked my account last week, my password and e-mail was changed and all credits and hath were stolen.
I know that there were many users were hacked recently like me.
An improvement in security system is needed.
There are two serious problems currently:
1. No identifying code when logging in and every one can try the password unlimitedly, so the hacker can just use software to guess the password alphabetically.
2. The register e-mail can be changed too easily. If e-mail address is changed, password recover system will become useless.

The hacks in question isn't caused by lax security on this site. From what I heard, a popular Chinese site had their user database compromised. So the actual problem is people who reuse their passwords on multiple sites, and there's nothing we can do about that.

That's true (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif), lots of users' information was robbed that time, but my password is unique on this site. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Another serious problem is why my account is suspended now?

IIRC, you can login to this site through the forums using the https page which should be a bit better than logging in through the other less secure places.
