So I noticed that the security question you pick for your account plus the answer to the question are both displayed very clearly in your account settings. I'm not 100% what the question is used on this site in terms of verification, but I would think it would be a bit of a security risk to display the answer to the question so blatantly. If someone were to obtain access to another's account, could the answer to the security question be used to hijack the account further?
Am I just being paranoid or does anyone else have any ideas on how this might turn out badly?

That part of the "My account" page will be changed in an upcoming update (the one I mentioned in an earlier post) which we will be releasing in a while (later rather than sooner, can't give you an accurate date at this time). The changes will include hiding the question and answer from unwanted attention.
Until that time I'm afraid you will have to keep an eye out for any ninjas which might want to write them down when you're not looking. By the way, there's 6 of them in your room, with one standing right in front of you. ;)

I have a ninja in my computer. His name is SecuROM 7 and he's very unfriendly.

Damn ninjas. Good thing I keep a flock of flying monkeys around to deal with them.
