Same here. At this point, there's no other better thing we can do to lower (if not cancel completely, hopefully) the chances of being hacked.
Guess I'm going to have to keep locking my account every time I'm not on it for a long, long while.
Can't complain, if it prevents myself from being hacked or, worse, having my character completely deleted.
Anyways, about the PIC, I think they have a way to skip that, just like there used to be for PIN.
Can't still realise HOW they get user and password though. Well, maybe I can about username (yet many people who weren't on the list were hacked, and I guess people who didn't use MTS too), but.. password.. is almost impossible to get without some kind of exploit which there MUST be in the game or somewhere else (maybe the site).
Or they're just making the client think that the person has already logged in from the site even if he hasn't, by providing the username only, but their security would have to be REALLY weak for something like that to happen. I guess there's a generated token which you gotta send the server if you want it to authenticate you as logged in from site, and, unless the hackers realised what the algorithm is (nearly impossible) or were able to get it from the server somehow, that's not possible.
Well, the guesses can be infinite but probably the answer only is one. And we still don't have it. And maybe we'll never have it. This is getting as bad as the meaning of life.

Feels awkward, man.
