Games like WoW and stuff survive without the need for you to fax personal information, and Nexon needs to follow their lead. Hell, it was suggested that they implement those random number keychain things a while ago and that really seems like the best form of account security possible. There's no reason for Nexon not to implement that and just cut the risk entirely.
In my case my friend in real life who plays maple and attend the same college classes I do fell for this. In turn the hacker then spider webbed too my account and used the same method under his identity. In other words he sent me a bowling invite, cancelled it, and I was done.
Currently your email is the backbone. When you lose access to the email, and relying on information such as "registration date" as a backbone is stupid especially for a game for 8 year olds.
