Safe to sign?

Is it safe to sign/fill for a random stranger? Is there a hack out that can mine your client for improperly stored login details just by joining a party/exped, or otherwise compromise your account? I'm getting nervous.

I am a LITTLE paranoid. My Vindictus account was hacked last summer (judging by the number of hack complaints back then I swear nexon got their servers hacked and never admitted it), and ever since I have been overly cautious. The summer I was hacked, I went so far as to wipe the entire machine I had been using (after the virus scan came up negative) while changing my pass via ipod.

this is almost a sign of addiction lol. you sound so paranoid of being hacked, like if you were to get hacked that life would be over as you know it.

OT: just relax, it's nothing to worry about.

I'm just nervous. I signed for someone I don't know, went in the cash shop, and when I tried to leave I crashed. I relogged, and was out of the party/exped. Maple is running slowly, but that may just be because I have a virus scan running as well (99% sure that's overkill, if there is such an attack it would simply attack the client one time, not install anything). I already changed all my login details.

How would that be different from you joining any party?

Do you even party?
