Seriously guys, I've had friends of mine getting hacked recently and sometimes you just wonder "How could -she- get hacked?" or "Why would someone even bother hacking that level 50?". It could happen to anyone, right when you least expect it.
I hope you believe me when I say I am not really into this type of thing out of recognition, but rather because Maple forums regularly get threads by people who were cleaned out, and I felt sorta responsible because maybe it could have been prevented. I remarked on Sleepy that a hacker brute-forced accounts on Habbo Hotel to steal 4000 Euros worth of virtual currency. He was caught and prosecuted. With the sort of stuff happening on my server lately, (mass duped-white-scroll proliferation, channel crashing by hackers, complete game disruption by the Power Guard hack, guild hackings, etc.,) I now find it a bit difficult to believe that only "script kiddies" play Maple.
