Couple more clues from SW posts.
SW, 'Cynical', jan 24
'I was searching my different usernames on google and i found that 1 of them had been posted in the list of 150+ accounts the wierd thing about it is that the pw and pin were my old ones that i havnt had for 2 years and nothing was missing on any of my characters on the account'
So the list is old old information. (Bobbort should have changed his pw once in a while.) So its looking like while the list does contains real info of real accounts, and probably was not the result of physhing or whatever (i assume bobbort is no dummy), it probably has nothing to do with most of the hacking going on.

'That guy hacked me, but I was on playing other acct. so I tracked my char. I was able to go on nexon.net to change password, but could not stop the hack. He went through two main characters. Lost 2 pacs, scg, overall luk, 92+ att Asura, 10 att ms shield, 15 piece of time and 250mil. I saw the post before me saying that characters got hacked have ms earring, I dont know that is true or not, but my character wearing maple earring.'
While this is not precisely written, it sounds like changing the password did not prevent the hackers from relogging onto other characters. This makes the 'logging bypass' theory sound more likely.
Edit: On re-reading, not entirely clear what what the order of events is, so who knows.
