What wallet are you using?

If you used myetherwallet.com it only requires you to access through your wallet with few options like entering your private key, json file and your hardware wallet.

I used to use Imtoken, but when I entered MyEther, the token suddenly got hacked into my wallet

Yes, I agree with you because this are the only keys that are required of you to access myetherwallet and you do not necessarily need OPT. As long as you keep this information very private, your account is safe.

does using a legal / illegal VPN also have an effect?

You won't get hacked if your VPN is legal or illegal but there are some malware can copyyour clipboards in that case you no need to download third part apps into the MEW wallet or the mobile device you were using.

If you imply OTC to mean one-time-password, then your answer should be no, I use the major Ethereum wallets and I have never been asked to use an OTC  to  access my account. Maybe you should reconsider the wallet you are using

May be exposed to malware
but what is taken only by certain tokens is it not suspicious in your opinion?

How can you say that you have been hacked? did you lost any funds there with ImToken?

Did you signed up to any form that is asking for your private key or anythning that's related to accessing your wallet.

If you did, maybe the hacker used those login details to access your wallet. However, I have no idea with ImToken I haven't used it until now.

If you are using wallets with private keys then you don't require OTP. Use wallets such as Myetherwallet or even better, hardware wallets such as Trezor and Ledger. Private keys are much much safer than just OTP. The only thing is that you have to keep them safe and have at least 1 backup.

Your question is not clear. Hence, it is very difficult to answer clearly. Might i ask the type of your ETH wallet: MEW, Leger, Metamask.... As my knowledge, only the ETH wallet in the exchange require the OPT code to access the wallet

i guess one time password are useless when you using private keys on web wallet like myetherwallet, private keys are much more safer than otp
