So, I'm just curious, if my account got hacked... how would I know it was hacked? Is there any way I can prevent people from hacking into my account? Is there a way to check if my account has been hacked?

How to notice: if your coins are missing, if messages have been read and/or sent and/or deleted, if you have listed items, finalized orders etc. Anything out of place that you /know/ you didn't do.
How to prevent: set a secure password and keep it to yourself (16 characters, alphanumeric, not used on any other site, not easy to guess)
How to check: I guess the first thing that would go missing, if you were hacked, would be your coins. If that happens, check your messages and the rest of the settings for your user. And report to SR support so that they can help.

Another tip is to completely avoid phishing sites, the .onion address for SR should always be exactly the same unless stated otherwise by Mods or SR/DPR himself. I personally just memorized the address for SR, not that hard.
