Actually most of the hacks are coming from "Secret Question".
If you dont have "Secret Question" and want to change email or password, forum will send you email notification to approve your request.
But if you have "Secret Question" , it will ask it, then the hacker have unlimited tries/retries to guess the answer and change your email and password.

Mine got hacked by my "Secret Question" .

If the "Secret Question" is one of the reasons why accounts are being hacked, then why is it still there? More people will get confused whether they will use it or not. Huh

Please either dont quote a message or fully quote it ...

You can see this in your profile>Account Related Settings>Secret Question
Its written in BOLD :

Using this feature is not recommended. Anyone who guesses your secret answer will have access to your account. It's like a second password.
