Yes it better than nothing but it's not bulletproof in what can happen.
What Nexon could start with is using high encryption levels between the Server and Client using things on par with WPA2-AES's level of encryption or better to where a public/private key has to be downloaded to the client, verify the client is registered to the user such as taking a hash of the MAC address or some other random ID Code from a random piece of hardware and encrypting it using SHA-2. This way only authorized PCs can access the account.
Give them time Link... and they will... and who's to say they aren't working on something far worse? And 60 seconds is more than enough time to hack an account.
However, the final decision will be Nexon's alone on what they can or can't do that is feasible, workable, and even in the end... cost effective.
