I wanted to make mention of this in this thread, but it was locked before I could post:
My brother actually logged in a couple weeks ago to find his account had been "stripped" and all his NX had been used. I use quotes because the intruders were apparently too in a rush to check all of his characters as his FM mule was untouched.
What was left wasn't comparable to what he lost, so he quit because he doesn't think it's worth it to rebuild.
I can't disagree with him.
Did a quick search and he does have a Sleepywood account, but neither his username nor his password is the same as his Maple account.
So that rather rules out that.
It's also quite literally impossible that they accessed the email tied with his Nexon account since that particular address no longer exists and hasn't for years.
I've saw a couple similar stories on Basil around the same time. This was actually a few days after the server issues that occurred several weeks ago as well. Of course, my noticing other account breaches could simply be because I've been looking for them.
Personally, I would definitely second the recommendation for everyone to change their passwords.
