if you're referring to the people using the hack, its likely an RMT group and not average players. I've made a point of keeping tabs on the ffxiv reddit, and the /v/ ffxiv general thread that touched on the topic, it seems to be a common set of sellers using it.
(I can provide a few forum links if you'd like, the jist of it is that there are 4 primary items being used as the "selling items" and while they use the typical retainer with gibberish name, its so far seemed to be 3-4 retainers per server.)
I'm fortunate enough to keep the bulk of my gil on my retainers, and will be depositing my "slush fund" at the inn as well tonight, but as to forum post linked by Tobias points out, its part of the flaw in SEs system, a "fix" for now is to stay clear of areas with the market boards and keep under 1m gil on you. (most of the reports being purchases in excess of 1mil, I suppose if that dries up they'll go for pretty much anything.) I'll be camping out in the Golden Bazaar, have a pint, and wait for all this to blows over.
