Any recent hacked accounts from Southperry users?
Kabanaw Wrote:Yeah, I meant that they're probably doing it to stay organized. They managed to find out how to get into Nexon's database, so they probably have some sort of system. They're most likely doing something on this scale not just for some personal vendetta, but because they want some sort of money. The best way to make sure they didn't miss any good accounts is to do it all in order. Of course, they could always go back to older accounts if they wished, so even if your account was the first ever created it doesn't mean your safe. However, I feel a little less afraid for my november '05 account to get hacked, but i'm still keeping a special character in the password until this gets sorted out.
I highly doubt they do it for the money. As it currently seems, they are regular maple players\hackers that have a bit more technical understanding (or perhaps luck).
I don't see why would anyone try to hack maplestory for money, there is not much you can make (if they try to sell things they take from other people they will cause a huge deflation, and will probably be caught in no-time).
There are websites with a much weaker security (lets not forget GMS and most of the other maples managed to stay safe for a long time, which is not easy for a game targeted by so many hackers) that can lend a potential hacker much more money or information that can be sold.

My personal assumption on this case is, it was either done "for the lulz", in order to get "geek pride" among the other hackers, as a proof of concept ("yes we can" style) or as a revenge against either Nexon or the MapleStory community as a whole.

EDIT: also, a bit offtopic, what the pineapple is the points thing and from where did I get 11 of them?
