Score another kill for the hackers. Tonkpils80 a lvl 18x BM was hacked yesterday and said he quit Maple. I wasn't on when he found out he got hacked and said he quit, but heard from guildies, I am estimating he lost multiple billions in mesos and equips.
I mention this because he is mathematics/programming whatever else he is taking in college major, and just a day or two before he got hacked. Its possible it was the night before, he was having a conversation in buddy list that discussed hacking.
To paraphrase.
He said that he couldn't be hacked.
said he didn't believe Nexon's database's had been compromised because Nexon would be doing something about it if their own security had been breached.
said he believe that all of these people getting hacked probably visited a phishing site but didn't realize it.
said he could make a phishing site very easily and bet a ton of people would go to it.
Now he's been hacked too. I don't say this to make fun of him, but to show that he is the third legitimate computer programmer I know of who has been hacked in the last couple of weeks. People that know how to protect their system. People that were sure their was no malware on their computer. People that could make their own hacks if they wanted too. Just like Fumni, (hi Fumni), Tonkpils80 probably just became a believer in a Nexon security breach too.
