Possible Nexon Database Exploit?

One thing that I believe can help. On the website click Start Game without typing anything in. Then type in your info on the account page. From then on everytime you hit "Start game" it registers the info you had in before. Thats what I do and I haven't been hacked. Panacea was ANY of your info close or the same as your maple info? If so that makes it very easy to hack someone, My gf was hacked a while back because her info was the same, once she changed it the hacker whispered her why her passwords were different there was, and I quote: "stuff I still wanted to take." Long story short he eventually gave up due to being unable to crack it XD. If you want I have a VERY strong password orientation my friend and I made up years ago. If you want to know what it is PM me.

I already do that on the rare occasions that I sign in through the site. And when you say info, what are you referring to? Each my ID, password, and PIC were all completely unrelated and it would have been pretty hard to guess one just from knowing the other.

Rarely does a hacker actually have your password. Most of the exploits is forcing a password reset and somehow getting control of the email.

And making a good password is easy. Take a medium size word, Alakazam, than for every keystroke move it up one and to the left so:

Alakazam
Qiquqaj

Then cap some
qiqUqAj

Then add some numbers at the end, viola, pretty beast pass.

EDIT:

Read back a few pages, this facebook thing could be a problem. Is it set private? If so has anyone added you? What isn't private? B-day? Stuff like that. As for hotmail address' those are even more dangerous because there are programs out there built specifically for snagging your IP either from an email you sent, or from just receiving an invitation from an MSN game such as bowling. Once they have your IP they just need to know your b-day/name, and bam, hotmail account is breached 24 hours later.

I'm aware that your email wasn't cracked though, and it does show some similiataries to my hacking, to that regard. However my hacking only allowed one account to get hacked, while yours were multiple, so he was able to reaccess while mine couldn't, so the methods are differen't I'm just not sure in what way.

I use a password generator for mine, so password security isn't an issue. And I think you might be confused as to how many times I was hacked. The first hacking, which might or might not be related, was during the '09 incident and happened on an alternate account. My main account, the one hacked this time, was also only hacked once, granted he went through most of my characters taking whatever was worth something. Once we reset the password he wasn't able to get back in, assuming that he wanted to take anything else.
