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?
I figured I was vague, I meant in game money. I'm sure there's a group of nerds somewhere lulzing because they have billions of mesos.
