Nexon Wrote:Dear Nexon forum goers,

We have recently been alerted by our security team of an image exploit that can potentially harm your computer.

Please be wary of downloading images or clicking on image links posted on the forums. We have temporarily disabled the image upload option and will be removing other image functions as we investigate this security exploit.

Thank you.

Good job Nexon.

It's probably some sort of an XSS, I doubt downloading images can harm your computer.

Seriously, I'm happy that there's SP at times like this. NEXON Forums suck and SW does as well.. luckily there's still our beloved SP! Goggleemoticon

That's just a common browser bug, it's usually done with 65535 pixels high images. A security exploit revolving around IMAGES smells like an XSS\CSRF exploit to me. But it's just Nexon forums, it's not linked to your main account. So this exploit is basically useless.
