This bears some similarity to "hijacks", but doesn't require that the legitimate user log in before his connection can be stolen. This is not too farfetched, considering the number of servers involved and the general quality of Nexon's coding. If this is so, however, no level of securing your password would protect you, because the hackers never need to find it out.
I lumped impersonation/spoofing in with remote/hijack because they both follow the same principle of "beyond the victims control" whereas a keylogger falls into the realm of "he had it coming" in the eyes of people who look for any excuse to blame the victim.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
