I think one thing that would put a stop to (or at least slow it down) it is to remove "untagging" items form the game. Seems most hackers are only interested in getting what they can buy ripping off guild tagged items. If they couldn't take those items then there would be nothing for them to gain.
Not really an options as when the guild is full, how will people sell off crappy stuff? I really think that some kind of password should be added to untagging of gears that only the most trusted ppl/GF know.

I heard that in the latest "hack" the hacker used a program , since there is a 15 minutes cool down after 3 failed attempts , its odd that he got the password in 2 days ( again, from what i heard )
But i would say this, i do think if someone try 3 times to access an account and fail, then the cool down need to be 4 hours , and a mail with activation code needs to be sent to the account owner , so if he is the real owner he could gain access before the 4 hours are up

I honestly think that if you have a strong password and you keep it , and your life to your self you wont get " hacked"

Should HCS actually step up and take action against those on the receiving end of 'stolen' items, then people would think twice about the frenzy bidding on cheap items. Anyone bidding on these items, knows they are stolen, and it goes without saying personal profit reigns over morals. This is why it would be nice to see HCS put their foot down on those taking advantage of the situation.

Remove the temptation of cheap gear with the risk of losing their account and the person destroying a guild would have one less way of causing headaches.
It's a means of limiting the damage without players having to 'take matters into their own hands'.

48 Hour wait period to untag epics? (or perhaps a way to "super tag" an item) So that you will need to wait 48 hours for the item to be untagged in the future - would be very useful to prevent people from losing epics or expensive legendary items

and yep hcs can trace any gear gold or fsp to anywhere and when something like this happens the items need to be put back and hackers/thiefs banned i seen another thread wont name names but it began with M that needs dealing with too as thoses guys are just as much thiefs by keeping items that alot prob worked for ..doesnt matter if its within the mechcanics of a game it is morally wrong just shows what there like as real ppl

yes this guy did hack our founders password in 2 days. Yes We are VERY protective over our guild.
AND 100% BIG YES that HCS needs to put a foot down to the greed and profiting from stolen gear. We have all donated thousands of $$$$ to this game and now we are all hurting deeply watching it all be sold and dismantled.
As far as whether or not HCS Will rollback the game like they did with "Panic" I doubt it...I would just like to have our gear and our guild back..we will rebuild from there...even if we've lost all structures,gold, and members

For the record, my founder, "arichey22" did NOT go to any 3rd party site where his password could have been stolen. He does not share this account with anyone. The password he had was like 10 or 15 characters, so guessing it would have been unlikely.
I will not go into the details of this matter on the forum, because HCS will be looking into this matter (hopefully).
