In the past few weeks, over 10 of my friends have been randomly hacked. Their accounts are secure and no keyloggers were present. Is this another possible database leak?
Has anyone else been getting hit randomly?

Yes, it's not like the hacking ever stopped.
Did they have PICs with only numbers in it or PICs with alphabetic characters AND numbers in it? Also, was the PIC longer than the minumum of six characters?
Considering there's PIC bypasses, it doesn't even matter...Quote:

1. Chinese Farmers are Controlling Nexons Database
2. U cant do anything, even if u change ur Password, they still hack u
3. Same happend to KMS
4. Only Solution is to Deactivate ur account when u Log off with Hotspot shield
5. Like Usual Nexon is ignoring this Problem
i haven't changed my pass/pic for a year, and my account is untouched.
both my pass and pic are very simple, and half of my info was been smegaed in bera/broa before.
I guess im a luck guy lol.
I've never been a victim either, because my account name and/or email has never been database leaked from the MTS or whatever they use nowadays.Quote:

no more people are getting hacked than usual.
...hamad is almost too funny to just ignore
I never used MTS, still got hacked.Quote:

Luckily.
This has been going on since what, September? There's a thread open for this already.
I'm quite interested in learning what sort of thought process you go through when determining which letters should be capitalized.Quote:

hmmm, this isn't true because when I came back to maple, i geared up my char again, plus all the chairs I have ( I had over 40 chairs before I quit maple(I gave them away to my BL friends))Quote:

Hm that is weird, I have no explanation other than luck then, which now that I think about it, wouldn't be that farfetched as there are thousands of account info they have to go through.Quote:

No, there isn't any solid pattern in what accounts are being hacked.
Yes there is, if you play you get hacked eventually!Quote:

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.Quote:

Basically, anyone who plays any Nexon game and charges NX is at risk.
Why do you people think it's so much fun to ask questions that no one can realistically answer?Quote:

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"Quote:

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.Quote:
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.
That seems so beyond http://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/u.../Farfetchd.jpgQuote:

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.Quote:

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.
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...
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?
