Just a quick internet security note, phishing and hacking are two very different things. A site does not have to be hacked to have phishing attacks, and phishing is pretty easy to accomplish on any site. All that is necessary for phishing is to essentially copy the website and use a different address (though it may only be slightly different) and then have a place for you to put in your account information. Usually phishing requires some action by the user who's information is hijacked. More on phishing
here.
Hacking on the other hand usually assumes that the site itself has been somehow compromised and although you are at a legitimate site, it is no longer in the full control of the appropriate parties. Although pharming can have a similar result. Read more about the differences between hacking and phishing
