I could be completely wrong, but unless you used a different birthday when you made your MS account in 7/31/07 and another account in 9/01/07, I'm pretty sure I know the birthday to your hacked MS account.
August (I know the date and year too, don't want to post it. 20 years +, Cali person, Like Manga (Naruto), Neopets)

"So are you saying that someone saved all those info's from that website 'RockYou' and tried all of them on a game called MapleStory? I highly doubt that.
As for certain people still having their items, it's clear that these hackers don't know who they're hacking which only proves the 'database leak' theory even more. Most people who are still active and have expensive items frequently change their passwords and PIN's. I haven't heard of a SINGLE person who has changed their password in the past 7-10days being hacked. If this was a targeted hack, random hb/hs mules wouldn't be getting hit."
I don't think that they went around trying to look specifically for Maplestory.
They got onto the email account and checked out the Newsletters to see what games people played and simply hacked those games.
The RockYou password list was avaliable to the public, thats why I think that its important.
