At first, distinguish between Moderator and GM. Moderators know as much about what's going on in the game as we do, they know exactly nothing. It's their own opinion, unfortunately people still think they are GMs and know something we don't know.
Just start the game, you won't be hacked with a low level account.
At the moment, I think the hacker has an old database backup, so new accounts or accounts with pw changed are safe. In the past 3 days, 2 guildies have been hacked, both didn't change their PW and so far, no one said he changed his PW and got hacked.
