Nice little back pedal you got there. Yet this isn't what you said above. You said above "People don't get hacked they are just stupid"

To answer your questions - no, I've never been hacked. And I've never had a virus on my computers. Because I use my head.

And I trust your not lax in your security methods? Not even once ? You've never been hacked therefore your smarter then those other guys who do.
I haven't been hacked either. And I don't do any special security steps other then not giving out my password to silly whispers or going to funny sites from an email.
But this does not mean that maybe one day I might get hacked. I'm not arrogant enough to say they I won't get hacked. I'm only Human and I might slip up once.
Being lax MEANS you're stupid. The definition of lax (not strict or severe; careless or negligent shows that you're lazy, inattentive, not caring.

People using the same password everywhere. Going to random links, seeing a battle.net-looking login screen and entering in their credentials. People falling for fake emails, where just a cursory bit of attentiveness easy show they are fake, etc = stupidity.

This is also covered in detail on the form. Also in the security page they recommend you go to.
