Nexon says that as long as our passwords and PICs are updated, then we can't get hacked at the moment. The problem is, especially given their track record, while it might be impossible NOW to hack with just a login ID, you never know when another glitch in their security might take place that will leak such information out.
As for the opinion that there is nothing to be worried about, I beg to differ. How rich you are doesn't matter. If you have something of value, they'll take it. How long do you think it takes to clean out a "rich/famous" account? If Nexon's security is as faulty as we think it is, it'll take minutes at most. They can go down the list FAST. As I said, it's only a matter of time. If they only went after rich people, a lot of poorer people would not have been hacked the last time around. Hell, a lot of people would not have been hacked period.
I think the only solution is to give us login ID changes too...that's the only solution I see to this. Of course, then there's the issue of someone hacking your account and changing your login ID before you can, but that's a whole different issue.
