Happened to me a month or so ago, the amount lost was impressive by any means. The depressing thing about this thread is that the consumer in me wants to put faith in Nexon as the corporation, and expects them to have fixed this by now. Every time I see someone else get hacked it reminds me how half-assed theyre going about this. I'm not about to read all 29 pages of this thread to see if it has been suggested, but considering I'm starting over and freshly funding a character, security is very important to me this time around. (I kind of disregarded most steps before) As a result I've been generating random 64 character passwords here: https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm and changing it daily, as it seems the database is compromised very often (if this is indeed what's happening).
Basil aside, when a community as accurate (typically) as southperry acknowledges that there is clearly something wrong, and there has been for months, it astounds me that Nexon is completely disregarding something so serious. This should be top priority. I am pretty loyal to Nexon in most cases, understanding that they are in fact a business and many of their decisions are made to benefit them, not us. This is one of the few things that has really caused me to lose faith in the way they're handling the game.
