Gamer Safety Week: Tips for Protecting Your Account

Suspicious activity?

You mean like characters logging in from an IP they've never used before, going in MTS, and using exactly all their NX to buy a single arrow, the easiest in-game item to obtain, that was coincidentally listed shortly after they entered MTS?

Nope, not suspicious at all. Dozens of characters do this every day. Nexon has the MTS logs to prove it. Must be some kind of fad.

It's really the Maplestory version of planking. Or coning.

Either way, I just bought those arrows because all the cool kids were doing it.




*sigh*
The most embarrassing thing about this announcement is not that they once again are spouting security tips at us that any Internet-acclimated individual already knows (and, subsequently, are not at all helpful), but the fact that some organization (even if one that I've never heard of) would allow Nexon onto a council "committed to providing players everywhere with information and resources for safe and enjoyable gaming."

Though, upon thinking, this isn't entirely contradictory.
Providing information and "resources" in no way implies providing any reasonable security measures on the company's end.
