Pretty straight forward question.

Is GR hacker secured?

Not really a straight forward question.
In theory there are NO secure sites on the net. Most are secure to varying degrees, but even Sony and internet provider AAPT have been hacked into recently.

The ports opened by client software such as GameRanger are not useable to access control of a PC. If you have a router with firewall / NAT and good up to date AV you should be OK.

If the site itself gets hacked and they get your password, really what's the worst that can happen? They may log on as you and play a GC!
If they did that to my account, they probably play better than me, my stats would improve!
