And also, are you vulnerable when you change maps as well (via portal)? What about Mini Dungeons? If I go in a mini dungeon and cc out, am I vulnerable at that moment? Does the hacker have to be on the same map/channel as you before or after you cc? (As in, are you ccing TO him only?) If I MTS out of a mini dungeon, will that be safe?
So I guess, in a word, how safe are Mini Dungeons, or are they safe at all?
And as a side note, if you get into a situation where you lag and you think someone might be trying to hack you, if you terminate MS before you actually "lag out" will that prevent the hacker from being able to continue as you, if you're fast enough? (Kind of a forcible d/c). I'm guessing no, but I was just wondering >_>
Lol, sorry if I ask too many questions. o.o
Thanks for the info ^_^

As far as I've seen, changing maps is not a risk, and I don't see why mini-dingeons would be any more risky that any other map. However, I would exit by the portal or use nearest town scroll, not use cc to exit.
I believe the hacker has to know or guess what channel (or CS) you are switching to for this to work, I don't know about same map or not.
I doubt that there is any sign of forewarning like lag for this method of hacking; they are sending false instructions to the server, not to your client.
Guessing logging out would protect you, but wouldn't stake my life on it.
Sometimes when I log out, it seems like the server doesn't get the message, and still thinks I'm logged in for a minute or so. Presumably you would be very vulnerable at such a time.
It's a bit scary that they can use the switch to CS as well (not sure about MTS) , since many people automatically start off visiting CS to get 2x card or whatever (whereas they might avoid suspicious requests to CC).
