I thought this was interesting too. I am an 13x priest - quit for over a year. Sometimes, out of nostalgia, I do log in but the last time i did log on was 2 months prior to the hack. Even though I'd been gone for over a year, it's still quite heartbreaking to see your own character hacked clean. All the memories of you and your friends building your char -- that's all gone. Anyway, this hacker is strange to say the least. Something is exploited and it's not related to each of us personally, but rather, randomly.
So, instead of reiterating a story, I'll just list the funny stuff. Save anyone reading this the wall of text.
1. Before the week of getting hacked and on the week of, I'd scanned my computer quite thoroughly. My wireless router's been giving me weird problems with redirecting when I use google. Yes, I'd confirmed that it was my wireless but I scanned my computer anyway. Registry was squeaky clean. Antivirus turned up with nothing.
2. The last time I touched my 13x bishop was 2 months ago. For nostalgic purposes I sometimes log on. But very rarely and for very short amount of time. If I'd been keylogged, it would've been picked up in the 2-4 scans I'd done between the week before to the day of.
3. My mule, whose email was tied to that main email was hacked too. There are no records in my main email that indicates the alt email is tied to it (as in, my main is my secondary email for my alt email). The last time I logged on my mule was most likely longer than my priest. Probably 1 year and some few months.
3. Facebook password was changed, thought it was odd too. I'm not sure how facebook's security works.
4. All my friends have quit maple. There are only 2 of them that know my info. But they themselves have quit for almost the same amount of time I have. Neither of these two know my mule.
5. When I regained access to my email, I found two emails - one in each email. One request for my main's pin and another request for my mule's id. Funny how passwords just arent required. Both emails shared different long passwords. My maplestory account is a completely different password from my email.
