They already have. They contacted the person who found the security hole and posted about it on the forums. They kept in contact with him and had a patch out within several hours.

Well to be more precise they fixed one blatant security issue, the one on their end. I'm sure there's more, but then there's nothing they can do about player's who don't follow proper security procedure except constantly warn them about what not to do.

Love the information but I really wish they would get someone with a bit more announcer/online polish.
It seems today the only experience you need is to be a twenty something female.

They get the Devs and CMs because they have been podcasting about rift since months before beta. The guild the main chick is in is also rumored to be one of the early alpha tester guilds. Also they are female. :P
Rift Watchers podcast had the lore leads in episode 2 iirc.

I appreciate that Abby goes on the podcast, but the podcast really needs to get more focused on the game. The discussion topics have been very hit or miss.
I know that hacks have been a big story, but it's really not that important to those of us who aren't on the bleeding edge and haven't been hacked, which is over 99% of the community.
I've been listening since about episode 31 or 32 and the two women in charge really need to re-evaluate their discussion topics.
