Those people that gotten "rehack" after they had changed their password recently does not mean 100% the hacker(s) gotten a fresh copy of the hashed password info from Nexon. As if the hacker did had the account info which would include the email that will provide the hacker another way of hacking. There need to be more data needed to determine (logically guess) how those hacks happened.
As for brute force cracking of MD5, the latest speed is ~ 4.6 billion hash per second done using a pair of latest GPU on a single computer without using networked bots. This will give more reason to use the full length (12 chars) for a password and with upper/lower cases, numbers and symbols and as a safely precaution to change it after every server checks and patches.
