Ah, that's what you meant.

Ok, valid point, but when you take social hacking into
consideration, _anything_ is possible - free additional accounts in
an SCS game, stat boosts, selective tweaks to game paramaters,
backdoors into the system to modify the character data on the server
- you name it. Recovering from this type of attack is always going
to be a case of tough decisions.
