If your imaginary friend is using a wireless mouse, tell him to stop immediately. Mouse-downs with a wireless mouse can be seen from thousands of miles away, even from outer space. They can also be controlled from distant locations. Let's say a Chinese gold farmer wants to use your Aion account. All he has to do is find a satellite and log in to the mainframe, like this:

>sudo sudo $$ \set streaming green numbers = true

Then he can remotely control your mouse. Once he has your Aion gold, he can buy cartons of cigarettes and sell them to local children in small sailor suits. He can also use your Aion account to wirelessly download pictures of dragons and make it look like you're doing it.

The whole process is quite trivial. Please use a wired mouse. Also, do I have to tell you to beef up your Norton product count?
