Anyone been getting hacked lately?

[CrazyForDex]

you can't get hacked if you're on 24/7!!! haha

Hey Maplers! We, the GMS team, have determined a great way to increase your account security and stop those devious hackers! Once you log in, NEVER log out! Buy some NX today!

[Clamors]

As I've said in the past, as have others...

Change your password once a month or once every 2 months and you'll be fine.

[KhainiWest]

Make sure you're logged out when charging NX! This method will make the transaction much smoother, even though there wasn't a problem to begin with!

By the way maplers, vote yes for SOPA, Southperry.net is for villains!

@KhainiWest

lmfao. That's great.

I still find it funny that Nexon tries to bluff that they are increasing security and are on top of things, when really they don't even understand their own game.

This is what i do. I try my best to be on for as long as possible, Even through I have never gotten hacked on this game every time I log in I ready myself to see my chars deleted/hacked.. ._. It's sorta worrying lol.

[KhainiWest]

On april fools I'm going to be so Pro nexon I will make you guys want to murder me.

my guild master got hacked a week after changing his pass, and he change his pass every week since beta ( i think)

and I'm not sure if he got keylogged or something, that I don't know.

So did david.

Yes there is, if you play you get hacked eventually!

Play what?
Because I imagine there's an implied "Maple" in your sentence, and that's absolutely not inclusive enough.
Basically, anyone who plays any Nexon game and charges NX is at risk.

I think we all agree this result of a database leak/hack or something alike. Now let me ask, who do you think is behind it? Chinese hackers or that other gang of hack creators from which half of them is being sued?

Why do you people think it's so much fun to ask questions that no one can realistically answer?

Also false.

Still safe here. So is a lot of people I know. so far only 1 guild mate, my mule which I never touched in years, and 1 buddy have been hacked. I locked all my important stuff anyway I really don't care if hackers take my money so long as I can keep my important stuff. Money's easy to replace items are not.

[atlcard]

whoever has the old database/mts leak lists is probably still rooting through them if your friends genuinely didnt give out their info to someone and are just in denial.

no more people are getting hacked than usual.

...hamad is almost too funny to just ignore

There is a thread on the Nexon forums which strongly hints there is a new public MTS hack, or that the old one got "unpatched"

All the old one did was give out your id and character name. Sure it sucks but it's not like it gave out all your info

link please, I can't find it

Probably this one:
http://maplestory.nexon.net/Communit...you-got-hacked
though there are a few 'bin hacked' threads on the go there.

If you put an item into MTS, you will be hacked. Yes, the MTS hack is still around. They simply go into cash shop, click buy on your item a bunch, do something with an illegal program which I won't tell you what because then you'll be trying it, click buy on your item again, click "EXIT", and then it pops them into MTS on YOUR character. Now, they can simply exit the cash shop, still on your character, and give them all of your stuff, drop yours, gift them NX, etc.

At first he sounds like he knows a thing or two. But saying 'MTS hack is still around' makes me wonder, since like Swordstaker said, the original MTS exploit didn't seem near as bad.

That seems so beyond

Logged into Maple Story for the first time in a year to go for the ring quest and see all my scrolls, items and mesos gone.
Well more reason to not go back.

I did not ask anyone tell me the 'truth' about who is hacking everybody, I said who do you think can be behind this? That's asking for an opinion. You don't need to know facts or have proofs to suspect of someone. Like the people saying Hollywood is buying congressman to pass SOPA.

I'm asking about this becuase I wonder if the group being issued by Nexon (supposedly) could be the same one behind the hackings. Even if all I can get from it is hate them more and wish them even worse.

[ShadyPriest]

My mule got hacked back in December (with a reset email), during the last thread.

My main got hacked sometime this month, even after several password changes in December.

[DarkXDaisuke]

my cousins old acc got hacked... I was using it to hold some of my items too... and slowly gearing it so I could maybe play it one day.
it was not involved in the MTS leak but I was unable to change its password and pic for a long while so that could be why... or my cousin gave his info to a friend and it got hacked that way...

[Seanny]

Elsword has been going through a hacking spree as well. Same pattern too, no one believes it at first, then reputable/ not stupid people report to being hacked and stuff gets real.

Just something to consider, Nexon is no longer the only one having trouble of this caliber. KC even went through measures to limit purchases on certain items to make it harder for them to clean out people's item cash, acknowledging the situation.

i mean, we're hearing about companies like Sony and others getting their information/Pws stolen pretty often now. All this considered, could it be that the art of hacking in general has actually reached that TV fantasy 'can get through almost anything' level?
