Could people tell what character you had based on your login ID? Do you think anyone could guess which login ID's had the most money? Heck, just in case it is a leak, the smart people would change passwords anyway, just to be on the safe side. Then, since you have a bunch of login ID's, some passwords are working some arent, why would you waste time on accounts if you arent sure they have more then like 1k mesos total on them?
And i didnt even share info with people i could physically go kick in the balls on this account. Logically, this many different people shouldnt be getting hit at near the same time if it were just a bunch of people sharing info. Its far to coincedental to be just "oh, those XX different high leveled people all shared their account info with someone and got hacked" Especially due to timing, unless they all shared info with the same person (which, considering its cross server and affecting people who have quit for a long time, seems very unlikely) they would be taken advantage of at different times.
This basically. You can't tell how rich an account is just by looking at a database of info. It would be like, you have a 100 question test, and they're all different diffculty. You can't just know already "Yes, #1, 5, 13, 46, 88 are all the hard ones" just by knowing the numbers and not actually looking at the problem itself.
It is pretty suspicious that there's such a rapid increase in hacked accounts. I didn't pay much attention to it due to rl issues until a mule of mine got hit yesterday, but now i kinda warn everyone about it.
