Is there any chance that this isn't Nexon's fault?
Hear me out.
Many people claim that they have not given out their personal infos, etc.
But nearly everyone that got hacked seemed to use either facebook or myspace or some other social networking site as far as I can tell.
This hacking epidemic started around December am I correct?
Well, RockYou had their passwords stolen in December 2009.
RockYou stored many of the email addresses and passwords for many social networking sites, in december a hacker somehow stole the passwords and posted 32 Million of the Passwords & Emails Online.
They could be downloaded by anyone. "The list was briefly posted on the Web, and hackers and security researchers downloaded it. "
For the people that got hacked, did you use the same password for your myspace/email/facebook or any other sort of networking site?

I personally think that this is way more plausible than the fact that Nexon's database got hacked into.
Many of the most famous people in Maplestory, Hefferheffer, Herotex, Lachyrmus still have their items, and have not been hacked into.
That's the reason I don't think its a database hack.
Two questions:
1) Do you use facebook/myspace or any other social networking site?
2) Did you use your Maplestory Pass for any other site?
