BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!
Kiss of the Divine (dei's guild leader) got hacked last Sunday. It seems as if she isn't the only one. Many people on Guru are reporting they've been hacked too... most likely through a server side intrusion (aka... not your fault). Even though you have a secure password, anti-virus, no keyloggers, etc... they still manage to make their way in.
People who get hacked have most of their valuable items gone, FoW armor salvaged, armors with superior vigor salvaged, equipment bags gone, balthazar faction traded for z-keys and random weapons and miniatures appearing in the hacked person's inventories.
Anet is clearly showing that your account is vunerable. Until they improve their security, please note that you may get hacked. As usual, take any usual precautions and try to spread your wealth across multiple accounts if you have any.
I would also recommend splitting your stacks of valuable items (ex. Ectos, shards, gems) across multiple characters you don't use so you have more time to intercept the hacker if they do manage to break in. (ex. 8 ectos each on every character... 2 ectos each in the backpack, belt pouch, bag and the last bag)
