Well, Sean, if it is indeed the supposed exploit, it doesn't explain Ray's individual account hacking recently for this ticket of yours, right? And I also wonder about the version of Windows you folks used. Not saying that this is the absolute reason, but certain modded version of pirated Windows (if you/you guys use it) cannot receive certain Windows Updates, and you guys could have then been victims of actual software OS exploit/hack.
The reason I am/was so skeptical is because: 1. Throughout my 4 years of playing I've seen far too many people lying about being hacked in order to get mesos/sympathy from "friends," and 2. In my ENTIRE circle of friends throughout all 4 years of my Mapling experience, none have been known to get hacked like that, except one person...and his ID and password were so easy that it could've been ran by a script and guessed within an order of magnitude of a few days. This is why I like to consider all possible cases of computer security issues. All other cases of people around me being hacked was a result of account sharing, as they all have admitted, period.
I would still *like* to believe it has something to do with computer security. The Nexon site exploit argument doesn't quite work. If this so called exploit really did exist, then a lot (and I mean in the hundreds) more people (from every other server too) should have been targetted, and especially the much richer accounts (really, Ray's equips/mesos amount to nothing compared to that of a few friends I know). And even if you guys were only targetted as a result of personal disliking, that person would probably be relentless enough to hack way more from the numbers you guys make it out to be.
I also recall the rumor of the exploit being based on the account ID being the same as the main character. If that really is the case, then A LOT more people should be targetted, since I know simply from experience that many people tend to make their account IDs same as at least one character on the account. But in any case, the fact that Ray is the only person that is continuously experiencing this really does suggest that it is a personal case of carelessness or computer security issues.
Maybe your friend could've been a dc hacker on another account and the GMs IP traced him and banned all his accounts. o_o *shrug*
