To those that keep on spectulating phishing, cross-scripting, trojan, malware, or something of that sort, I can assure you it's not the case. I tie a lot of information to forums in regards to my main account, and absolutely none on my mule account. If that was the point of entry, it does not make any sense that none of my main accounts have been compromised (as of date) which harbour way more valuables than my affected mule. I've also had a shared mule that was mysteriously pin changed (password and email non-compromised) sometime during December. The account was made around last March so it's not just that who created their accounts in 2007 are affected. The only downfall of the mule was the password, which I admit was obliviously weak and I had plans to change it too but never did due to not being affected in years, and that's what I believe is keeping my other accounts safe by delaying successful brute force.
For those who like to argue that hackers don't waste time on hacking maple accounts, well you're wrong. I've said it several times maple is a gold mine for virtual items, due to the current lack of security. I never follow RMT (real-money trading) but I bet if some of you do, mesos and items for real money are dropping because of this. Botters may not even seem profitable anymore, they probably have dedicated machines cracking the hashes or whatever they're bypassing/deciphering. If MSEA and GMS use the same protocols, it's even easier for those hackers in MSEA to use the same methodology over here, which saves them from starting from scratch and earn them profit from day 1. All I'm saying, there's a huge motive for them and it's not something that should be overlooked easily.
