Thanks, hackers, for ruining the world. Stop being stupid and start playing the game the way the rest of the people do, by shooting zombies, rather than trying to type fast enough to outrace the guy who made this whole thing possible.
To Jeremy, I honestly don't kno0w what the people who are hacking can do to your stuff or to others' accounts, but unless and until people can interact more personally, it may be best to let them get bored rather than getting stressed out. If they can't do anything but make themselves look cool in a sad attempt to add meaning to their pathetic lives through cheating, maybe it's not worth fighting them, if it's going to stress you out, Jeremy.
