Hi everyone missed me?

Regarding this gm hack, the gm was dumb for not seeing his info in the scrolling notice bar. This scenario is the same as fiel "please hack my account"

Now on to this pic speculation

For all that thinks the pic was cracked it wasn’t. The pic exploit was fixed a few days ago. The person who got on didn’t bypass the pic cause even if you get in the game without entering the pic it will still pop up. Do you really think gm accounts are made the same way like regular accounts? For all we know gm only need username and password to login.

Ever thought this if the gm had to have his info pasted in the clipboard wouldn’t his pic be right after it? What about his pin it should have been pasted right after too? Seeing that this gm clearly can remember his info. The pic should have been right after the login/pw

In the past few pages all i see is "PIC was cracked etc" here is the thing where is your source? I don’t see a ss of the hacker at the gm character selection screen. Here is the funny thing a lot of people have a different version of the pic that was supposedly on the account. "It was 123456" "NO it was eckorulez" "It was abcdefg" Saw someone said that it wasn’t even ecko who did it. Someone was able to login on the gm account it probably needed a pin and that’s easy to crack.

If pic was really this easy to crack don’t you think the mass hacking epidemic would still be going on?

I got a bag of doritos ready to start who shall be first?

The GM in question accidentally posted his account information while using a text shortcut program meant to issue commands within MapleStory. This was a serious breach of protocol, and the GM will be disciplined. In addition, we're investigating the actions of a player who abused this error, which is a serious breach of our Terms of Use.

We hope this information can shed some light for our players. Due to the sensitive nature of the problem, we will have no more information to provide on this topic, and we ask players to please avoid discussing the matter on our forums.

Quote:Going wih your theory, if GM accounts actually have no PIC, that's just piss-poor planning; if regular accounts need a PIN/PIC to log in, why not GM accounts too? It's true GMs aren't ones to just hand out their username/password, but as we clearly have seen that can happen and they should have considered that a possibility, and thus make a contingency plan by making GM accounts more secure than regular accounts

This will all go away with another 2x weekend event for Scania. If Nexon admitted the PIC can be broken, they'd just scare everybody. So they probably won't even mention it.

street Wrote:It takes a pin a few hrs to crack too. The pin system is still alive and gm accounts probably still on that system. Bad planning on nexon part, they thought a gm will never get hacked so why bother? Gm have a differ client from us so their client maybe on the pin system.

Really thou guys how many times have you seen a gm info out in the open? When the mass hacking was happen a gm account would have been hit wouldn't it?

Anyone who still hasn't given up on Nexon, I applaud your loyalty. But if a company that flat out denied that they couldn't keep many players' accounts safe showed that they couldn't even keep their own account secured, then you have to question your loyalty at some point.

Guess you didn't notice street was back

For the GM client: There must be some sort of prevention on the whole thing, or else I'm guessing that the person who hacked the GM would've banned people instead of simply making them DC (supposedly done using a spam hack, but I'm still skeptic on that.)

street Wrote:Also it looks like nexon does work on the weekends

Obviously they do, ravenSCA was on to announce the events and apparently he's a suitably low level lackey that he was unsupervised.

imjon Wrote:I'm late in posting this, but yes, the account required a PIN. This makes me think that the PIC of the account wasn't actually set yet. Anyway, I was IP banned sometime yesterday (I was out of the house most of the day so I didn't know I was ipbanned until around 10pm est). Soo... Good going Nexon. :|
