Default Anyone else have their account hacked? There must be similar situations to mine

I came back to P99 after a 2-3 years and found my lvl 59 character naked.

After inquiring with a GM it seems the following happened:

1. someone transferred about 450k worth of items to another character form my main in EC

2. they killed my character so the corpse rotted to perhaps cover their tracks and make it seem as if i forgot to do a CR on my last log in...

----

All of that sucks but i don't think it would have been 'reasonably' possible to hack my account for the following reasons:

1. my account name is nowhere visible
2. my password is a non-standard alphanumeric

If your immediate conclusion here is to think that I must have told someone my information I can tell you this is a straight no. I am the only one that I even know who plays p99 and i played mostly alone on P99 and never gave out my password.

Has a similar situation happened to anyone else?

Given these circumstances it seems to me that someone with 'access' was able to review accounts that had been inactive for long enough to be considered 'abandoned' and decided to enrich themselves and cover their tracks. This is the simplest explanation that makes sense to me.
