IMO those "random" hax are total bs because no one can hack u unless u tell them ur acc info
There are two problems with this statement. One is the keylogging hacks that are going around. I was keylogged myself, and spent over a week educating myself and making sure the trojan was deleted from my computer getting hacked. All of my accounts and all of my mules got hacked. I don't know where I got the Trojan from, but I found it and know that is what happened. I wasn't using anti virus software though at the time, so I learned a good lesson.
The real fear that is currently spreading across the community is an apparent new hack that can get your account without keylogging you, or without any help from you at all. In the last week or so I have had three guild members hacked. Two of them are Professional Computer Programmers (both with college degrees), i.e. they know how to protect their computer and didn't find any virus after the hacking occurred. The one guy in all the time I have known him has been very careful with his account info, and I would assume the other guy wasn't careless either. And yet, they both got hacked in the last week and cleaned out.
In response to hacking the rich people. We don't know how people are being hacked, but it doesn't appear the hackers have a reliable way of targeting a particular character, else all of the rich people would be looted by now. But it does appear they have a steady, consistent way of continually hacking one account after another. Aside from Guild, buddy list and elsewhere I have heard and seen alot of people get hacked in the last couple weeks. Everyone is concerned. Concerned enough that several people, myself included, have stopped spending money on the game. One guy thats spent over 2k has said he isn't giving Nexon another dime unless/until the game becomes more secure.
