... Yes. How do you think Ramza and his goon squad get into peoples' accounts?

To steal accounts you have to get information that allows you to gain access of the account. E-mails and passwords can get you into an account.

Some people make passwords that are very easy to guess or easy to generate. This would be cracking or brute forcing.
Some people fall for phishing, which is tricking someone into giving information. Claiming your an admin or making a fake support site are types of phishing.
Some people run malicious programs that access information on your computer or log keystrokes. Ramza used this one on a few people.
Sometimes information is leaked from Graal's account database or support center. This has happened a bunch of times on Graal.

You can get direct control of the Graal account and then change the password, or you can get control of the e-mail and have the password changed.

Well I mean we were talking about iPhone servers since this is an iPhone subsection, but I forgot you're a special snowflake who doesn't want iServer cooties

The only server I have interest in is Classic and I don't have fun playing it. I'm sure that's a good enough reason not to play on these servers.

On iClassic? It's not as simple as getting a password, you have to verify every single new IP/device by email, so someone would have to both know your email and have the password to it, and they'd have to be able to get into your email (which means you have no two-factor authentication or other protection)

I'm sure what happened with Miracles is the same as what happened with every "hacked" 1k guild, which is that the leader shared account access or leadership

If you want to get someones email you can just act like you want to upload a custom for them.
There's a ton of leaked databases and a lot of younger people use the same email for everything.
So it's pretty easy to just search til you get a result.
Ofcourse not everyone is stupid enough to barely change their password and use the same email for everything but we all know most graalians don't do anything to have good account security.

If you're this careless, you have more things to worry about than your Graal account being compromised unfortunately

Dusty and I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible for people to spell "admin" right due to some unknown invisible filter.

I think they were trying to say that you're an anime
