Hi Matt! 
I have not been hacked on any of my accounts from this outbreak yet. (Or else the hacker didn't find anything valuable to take which seems kinda unlikely as I tend to store mass equips, scrolls, books, etc on my mules.) The only time I ever got hacked was when nexon leaked their database info (which they denied until database refrence numbers were posted and after that they made no comment except that shortly after that they implimented PIC and required password changes on all accounts).
But I don't use facebook, myspace, or other social networking sites. I don't give out my e-mail for anything. I don't use my real name, DOB, or exact location in maple. And I keep a kinda low profile.
Also most of my accounts are not hotmail, gmail, or yahoo. I have about 17 accounts and I only have about 2 hotmail and 2 gmail e-mails. Two of my accounts use school e-mails which require a social security number (along with some other info) to reset the password. On most my e-mails I have completed an e-mail recovery option that lists unlikely items to guess or know (such as where was your mother born). Failure to answer the question would equate to failure to recover the e-mail. I made 10 additional accounts with nothing on them that use an e-mail that does not have a password (anyone who knows the e-mail can check it), but they offer alternate e-mail delivery addresses which I used when giving the e-mail to Nexon. With only the alternate address you may send e-mail there but you may not check it. Anymore that seems more secure than a regular e-mail. Although those are little fame mules with nothing on them, so I wouldn't be able to tell if they got hacked unless hacker dropped their worthless lvl 10 gear.
My e-mail passwords have never matched my maple passwords and are currently moderetly secure, I'm considering upping them to secure (but have to think of a pw). Currently my maple passwords are very secure and are different for every account. Since the GM was hacked with just username/pw, I figured PIC doesn't matter so I made them the same for every account.
