I've been playing this game for 6 years and the only time I was hacked is when I decided to experiment with hacks and lost my Chief Bandit on an alternate account, but this thread makes it seems as if hackers have the capability to hack other players without them leasing any of their info.
I rarely worry about Nexon, except of course in the case during last years random hackings which was obviously their fault. I do worry about hotmail/gmail and other public email providers and I also worry about maple forums. It's not hard in this day and age to find an email related to maple, find facebooks/other social sites used by that email, then via IP tagging and the shitty password recovering systems most mail providers have, be able to impersonate you and hijack an email.
Once they have your email, everything is compromised.
If you live totally un branched from the internet other than maple, you don't have to worry. But alot of people have old accounts made years ago with characters they're not willing to give up. But as a bad habit ofcourse, they have reused the same mail and the same usernames everywhere on the internet.
