MSEA got hacked again - ZakumSlaYers - 2010-01-01

People getting hacked recently :

Spoiler

Account hacking, item stat hacking, Hackers creating gachapon tickets on the database : [It all happened in a few seconds, not over time]
* Chaos scroll is extremely rare in msea, it cost 300~500 million each in bootes world.

Spoiler

Well, I was quite disappointed with their security already. Thinking of selling off my account and play another game instead, or perhaps private servers Frown

MapleStory itself is great, but without good hoster/ distributor, it's just a pile of bs Hothead

Asiasoftsux

Will this be the end of MSEA after being hacked twice on July ~ Nov 2008 and twice on Jan ~ March 2009?
Discuss.

OMg FUUUUUUUCK

Quote:As long as you are in the same map with him , he will know your password and login ID and your details.
GameMasters can't ban him even if they confirmed that he is the hacker because hackers could just change account and change your password without you knowing it.

OMG

SO IF I LOG IN I AM SCREWED IS THAT WHAT YOUR TELLING ME???? FUCK

FOUR PEOPLE HACKED IN A SMALL TIME FRAME FUUUUUUhcushfaiuhfaiusfhaiushdIUAHFISADUFHA

This is just sad for MSEA. It makes me wonder how people keep playing despite this constant barrage of a pomegranatestorm happening once every few months. MSEA needs to fricking step up on their server firewalls.

^--------- You being seriously panicky there Greg?

MSEA got hacked again - ZakumSlaYers - 2010-01-01

That's probably due to the massive contents we had on Episode 2 patch, Nexon's plot to get back players.

If you're trying to be funny Greg, I'm not finding it funny for once. I don't play MSEA and I think they're insane in multiple ways, but this is just... incredibly unfortunate. Hopefully things will resolve, but considering the database is hacked, I see people hacking MSEA to a point of removal.

Someone hacked mSEA DB? Wow....
They could do a lot worse than free gach tickets.
Level 1 4th jobber with maxed skills please?

MSEA got hacked again - Holypie - 2010-01-01

Don't forget max HP and MP. And every skill including GM skills. With database hacking, anything is possible.

MSEA got hacked again - Worthyness - 2010-01-01

Well GG MapleSEA.

What do they use for hacker prevention crap anyway? :f6:

MSEA got hacked again - Hazzy - 2010-01-01

@above: Are you implying mSEA has hacker prevention software?

If I had access to mSEA DB, I'd be a hoar and give everyone -1 HP and 32k MP.
Depending on how they store it, it shouldn't be too hard.
Would cause havoc though. Oh sweet havoc.

Wow. Just wow.

This is really bad, how could the hackers figure out how to access MapleSEA's database AGAIN? I mean, even NEXON America's security is better.

I wonder how their database looks like. :f6:

It makes me wonder, is Nexon's security better, or are the hackers in MSEA just proer than the ones who attempt to hack the Nexon ones?

Not really. It isn't as simple as typing in a password and suddenly having access to every single thing on the Asiasoft servers.
Databases are encrypted and protected as a whole AND individually, and Asiasoft's' likely require internal IP addresses to access. Therefore it would be quite difficult to gain access to them. Needless to say, perhaps this shows that it's possible - but, just because someone can go ahead and modify Gachapon that does not mean they can also modify accounts. Different databases, different passwords and gateways, etc. etc. . So no, it isn't the end of the world quite yet.

Either way, I suspect this has more to do with packet editing than the actual database(s), but. I've been out of the MS circle for a while, so I guess my opinion isn't 100% valid.

Chinese hackers are infamous for being ridiculously good at hacking, moreso than any other country.

Of course the only difference between chinese hackers hacking SEA and hackers in america hacking GMS is that the chinese actually have a reason to go as far as they have.

Edit: Assuming this is done by the chinese that is.

Well, since Global MapleStory's population surely is A LOT bigger than MapleSEA's, and, because of that, most people would prefer hacking on GMS, I think it's not the hackers. It's the security.

THe good news is that most hackers in MSEA only care about making money from the game. So they're unlikely to be hacking other parts of the database.

Hacking MapleSEA's database and getting infinite amounts of items/mesos to get jailed in return?

No, thanks, I'd rather be poor for life. It's a game, afterall.

I think the above meant making irl money off selling mesos and stuff.

Ohhhh. I understand now.

It indeed makes more sense. Silly me.

Seems a lot more like it'd be packet editing than database hacking. I doubt the account loss and gachapon incident are related at all. SEA really does need better security though. Wasn't CMS basically HackerStory before? It'd be sad if SEA becomes that.

He was simply voicing how dumb he thought that quote was, and it was pretty dumb. That quote alone discredited his whole post. Normally I wouldn't there was any comical intent behind this post, but this is Greg we're talking about.

Can't really packet edit Gachapon. Gachapon is server sided, correct?
