Also, anyone notice how broken the hacker's english are?
Someone on Sleepy said that there's a hacker forum where a hacker claimed to have login, pw, and pin for 25,000 accounts. (I don't know how credible that is - why believe someone who is a professed cheater is telling the truth?)
Hacker apparently bought gatcha tickets with my maple points that they never bothered to use, and the time stamp is 11:39am. I was at work, so the account had been logged out for at least 4 hours at the point of occurrence. Since I don't get back until 6pm, my attempts to log in did not intrupt with their process.
I think we can conclude there are 2 types of hacking going on:
1) MSN hack - they break into your e-mail, change pw, you lose everything. This is a very malicious hacking (drops all untradeables and sometimes delete characters and change info on e-mail).
2) Random (for lack of a better description): these are in a hurry (everything that cannot sell for more than a mil fast is untouched - untradeables left alone unless valuable and karma-able), they take most mesos and nx, sometimes leaving odd amounts of meso, sometimes they change pin & sometimes they don't bother. I think this one is being done by the meso sellers - all they care for is fast meso / nx that they can sell for $$$.
Preventative measures:
I changed all my pw's and now I leave a character (low lvl nib) logged in 24/7 on each of my main accounts.
Oh and Nexon gave me their standard
reply for having my account broken info. (Dont' share your info and ... yeah, don't give it out nexon kthxbai)
