What happened to me was slightly different. The hacker literally knocked out my modem while I was logged in. I know it wasn't anything like a rat or a keylog or anything of that nature because;
1) He only attacked my main. I only lost maybe 10 out of the hundreds of bil's I had. He didn't even see that I had max mesos in storage.
2) He never logged in to my account, he just hijacked the connection to my character. The moment my service provider called and blocked it (took about 10 minutes) I was able to relog into my character. All of the tradeable stuff was taken, and my chaos pendent.
I haven't had an incident since, partly because I've avoided the game entirely, but the hacker wasn't in it for the money, he frankly just wanted to hurt me. Unfortunately it didn't bother me as much because I was planning on selling everything anyway for empress gear. I was just bummed I lost my mask, but now that it has been duped beyond recognition, there was no real loss in the process.
