I assume that is not industry standard.
I feel like that would be considered negligence, as they've created and ignored a gaping security breach that would be fixed very soon (or not allowed to happen in the first place) in other games.
Also, who wants to take Nexon to court for their Terms of Service? If anyone's Australian, melinda can help them (yeah i'm offering her w/out her consent, I'm sure she'll be fine with it).
My name's Belinda, but you're close! Do we even know for sure what Nexon is doing with their security? If not, all we have are speculations and circumstantial evidence (e.g. relatively negligible number of people report they've been hacked, compared to the number of people who actively play the game).
Rather than going to court (which would cost a buttload and there's no guarantee you'd win or get compensated), the most sensible thing to do is just to complain to your nearest State or Federal regulatory body that oversees and regulates how businesses are run.
