Let me clarify something, I think I've done this a few times before on this forum, but here goes. The servers have NOT been hacked. This isn't some NSA level conspiracy. The way the servers work, is that they have 2 types of information. Information the server sends out, and information the server does not send out. Information the server does send out, includes anything visual and that affects the game, sex xp, money, looks, surroundings etc (this includes designs that are uploaded). All stuff that is NOT considered private, hence there is no encryption in this game either. Because all the information these people can access, is mostly stuff they can see easily anyways. And then you have the information that the server doesn't share at all. Email adress and such, which is considered private, but is not accessible because the server doesn't send this information anywhere.
So if you upload a design to an apartment/house/yacht, it is possible for these people access it without too much trouble.
