Sorry to break it to you but 99.9999999999% of the time you are not!
Why would a script kiddy create an exploit just to target your regular account over lets say, a moderator's account? An admin's account? We're all under the same system so we'd all be vulnerable for these "h4c|<s". You're all great children of God under my eyes but from a realist point of view your account is honestly useless if the person can't really do anything with it.
So unless some script kiddy comes here expecting to steal all the credits on the server, you're not h4c|<7d. Instead you've mishandled the password of your account. These are the common ways of an account being stolen:
Sharing passwords/accounts:
Just freaking stop it already! Your account is YOUR account for a reason. You got a specific User ID for a reason, you got your own slot in the database in the reason, that account only has one slot for a name for a reason; because it is YOUR account. Sharing accounts with someone so far has been the most common so far of these "h4c|<7d" reports. So unless you're leaving this account in your will, don't give it out to anyone.
Bad Links / Downloads:
This has been booming down recently. Bad links can contain keyloggers or fake places to login at. People these days are getting smarter and smarter. First bad links; if the site isn't www.imvu.com, do not slide your account information into it!
Don't just randomly click sites either, a lot of retarded sites that like to steal information are usually long or has weird coding inside of the url.(Example &elfmf=emdd?eemd.idx etc etc) Be cautious before clicking!
Downloads. Trust both the USER and the SITE! In fact before downloading, get someone to upload the file to http://virusscan.jotti.org/en first. It checks the files for viruses so you don't even have to bother.
People being tricked:
The admins and moderators will NEVER need your password. So if funny guys want to PM you saying your account is in trouble or something and that he needs your password, reply back with a picture of goatse, or something.
