The hack was actually started at 4th August (or earlier) (4th August was the earliest report I can find online), it was first hitted dungeon fighter online.
And from 14th August onward, maplers starting to get hacked as well, and I am one of the victims that get hacked (I got hacked on the 17th August) and after that I keep checking on different forums and see if anyone got hacked the same way as I do.
The hacker took all my tradeable equips, mesos and NX. Mules are untouched, HTP is already karma'd (by me) but left on me.
My email is not hacked, it is not linked to anywhere, the email is sololy created for maple purpose. My Nexon account's password is separated from all my usual ones. The password and PIC is not changed, i.e. the hacker simply knows the login, password and PIC.
I am 100% sure that I didn't get keylogged, I know pretty well how my security of my gaming machine is. Also, all my other accounts are untouched, this also suggested me that I didn't get keylogged.
Instead of thinking those hacks are related to MTS or MSA, I am thinking of the login server downtime that happened at the beginning of August. I think Nexon's login server got attacked or the database is somehow leaked out after the login server maintenance (thinking of Edison Chan's photos case).
My last MTS transaction is ages ago (which is a buying transaction), and I didn't put anything for sale at MTS at all in my entire maple career. And the account isn't link to MSA at all.
The timing on login server downtime is pretty much match on the hack reported time, all hack reports are happened after the login server downtime. And also this (http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/News/Con...ntNo=00CpC) pretty much suggested me that Nexon knows the incident. What Nexon doing to the DFO players is exactly the same on the database leakage that happened to us two years ago. I.e. forcing the players to change password or otherwise the game is unplayable. But remember DFO's login server shares with our ones. (And no I don't play or don't have an account in DFO.)
Judging the way how we get hacked (only high leveled characters are looked into), I think the reason why only high level people are got hacked is because the hackers are not be bothered to look into the low level accounts instead of targeted attack. Which also suggested me that the hacker seems to have a long list to hack, so not be bothered to look into mules or low leveled characters.
