Another Nexon Mistake

Nobody can do jack pomegranate with your login id.
Even if they could, they'd go after the most famous and rich people.
I'm so relieved to see I'm not on that list >.<

Stay logged-in 24/7...

Can't that item be locked?
All we have to do is hope Nexon doesn't accidentally leak a list with all of our PW and/or PICs in it. (:

pretty much this, and have the most ass-holey password and pic possible.

@above: i give them three days.
This is so ridiculous, time to spend some time emptying my account as well as help friend transfer...
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.
Only solutions:
One time only change to Nexon ID for those compromised. Only.
Remove the Nexon ID bullcrap and force us to log in via email only.

I prefer the first one.

Good point, how much is an item lock?

@Locked, Yeah. A one time change would make me feel a lot better. I understand the chance of someone going after me is miniscule (or none) but the idea that my log-in ID is floating out there, is worrying.

3k NX
Hugest relief in my life. None of my accounts are on this list. I went through HELL just trying to find it. >_>

Thanks Google for not helping me... (should've just followed my first suspicions)
1."accidentally" put login ids in MTS packets
2."Leak" a list of people's ids and igns
3. Mass Hysteria causes people to buy item locks
4. ????
5. Profit for Nexon

No worries Jack.......... I'm on there too...... =(
Well, if anybody knows that their account is not going to be used, then they could try this again and hope that maybe it still works? Email access required however.

It would work if there were no password/pic bypasses.
And in that case, a nice long password with letters+digits+symbols would be just as safe.

I keep hearing about this pic/pw is their any proof>?
omg. Can anyone PM me the list so I can check if any of my accounts are in there? Frown
@Mods; would pm'ing the list to ^ result in infraction/warning?

Seen a few familiar names from here & in-game Sad
No. Also give me this list.
