Any other people getting hacked?

DustBunny Wrote:I actually know exactly how they do it. I'm not sure if anyone remembers but my account got hacked a year ago in April, which resulted in an email change on my case, which was successful. I actually befriended the very player who hacked me (after he repaid all my pomegranate plus interest when I threatened an FBI report, had his IP/Zip/Address). Eventually I got out of him how to actually accomplish this, it's a long process and an annoying one but this is how they specifically do it for msn;

They Ip tag you, this would be from getting a message from msn, even a friend invite that you don't accept, from you opening an email from them, too going to a tinyurl link. If they find an email sent by you, they can look in the properties, get your full name, google your information for a facebook, or even find you on facebook. It's basic social engineering and exploitng password changes on the email addresses.

Though yahoo should be the safest, ISP's are unbreakable lol.

Social engineering.

I knew it must've been that. There was really no other possible reason. Nexon's security obviously isn't so weak that someone, even the most experienced hacker, can access their databases or anything like that. I'm almost sure of that. In fact, I never even thought it might have been their fault. It's just that hackers are always finding more and more complex ways of finding out useful informations to be able to get their hands on your accounts.

.. I've never been hacked, but.. I'll lock my items just to make sure.
