D'aww... you guys beat me to it.

Oh well, information being currently limited is not a good sign...

It is about time this happened. About time. And to be honest? I hope Nexon goes down with this. How many times have they said they will step up their service? Right... didn't happen.

Yes, it is apparent a GM account has been accessed. How and by what means we are still looking into. Thanks.

-wonders where the few people who stand up for nexon on sp are-

Checkmate.

OK now the real question is: did a GM put his info and password in the marquee (and if so, why would he leave his information there?) or was the account hacked, the marquee changed with the information so people could see it was real, and then the chaos happened?

remember the job postings a while back with nexon hireing and paying like $1 over min wage? you get what you pay for.

Either way, they've got huge security issues.

This is probably the best topic on SP in a while.

I have to say...this is getting ridiculous. Every time you turn around, there's some new threat to security.
Don't think mass 2x is gonna bandaid this cut anytime soon...

Just remember: "Ultimately you are responsible for everything that happens on your account."

LOL. Loose you are just asking to get banned there.

Before we can answer that, let's ask;

Is there any reason that a GM would put their information up there? Given Nexon's apparent recent stressing of account security, it's safe to say that's a no. Ergo, the account was most likely compromised before the info went up, not the other way around.

From what I heard, the notice with the 2x came up with the account info. So, I'm going to assume the GM accidentally put it up there, and by the time they realized it was up there, it was already too late, because I highly doubt a hacker would put up a notice for 2x....

That was a temp job....?

I'm doing nothing wrong. And if I do get banned, I don't care. By the way, that post was by request of Sarah, since she doesn't have a voice in those forums anymore.

It's time to fight back!

Or it's some guy that's dissatisfied with his career and wanted to go out with a bang.

Something this big would be a perfect "fuck you" to your boss.

That makes sense too, sadly. -_-

Me too, tbh. I hope Nexon does something about their account security (The PIC wasn't even revealed), and soon.

Hey again everyone,This GM made a serious error. We're investigating the conduct of this GM and s/he will be discplined.

LOL Yay one less inactive GM in the game...GG Nexon...

Ahahahaha, and here I was under the impression that the GMs information couldn't be entered with the normal client, nor could GM accounts be accessed by a non-Nexon IP.
