Exactly!
The issues in this thread were brought to Hilton's attention several months ago. The
HHonorsRepresentative supposedly was "on it".
But now we've had not an insignificant number of people reporting they've had their accounts hacked and points stolen (which as noted up thread was always my primary concern with the sorry state of security on Hilton's website), as reported here:

I keep linking all these threads in the hope that the main issue, Hilton's website not safeguarding our accounts, would receive more attention so that Hilton would be more pressured to get this fixed - now.
And question to the community: has anyone seen these reports of hacked accounts on any of the other boards or blogs? Any report of this in any hotel trade papers?
If not, why? Data breaches usually get a lot of coverage.
Can we at least make a sticky with these threads?
This matter is not trivial.
