In the past few weeks, over 10 of my friends have been randomly hacked. Their accounts are secure and no keyloggers were present. Is this another possible database leak?
Has anyone else been getting hit randomly?

Did they have PICs with only numbers in it or PICs with alphabetic characters AND numbers in it? Also, was the PIC longer than the minumum of six characters?

Considering there's PIC bypasses, it doesn't even matter...

The point is that my PIC is a well secured thing. Two friends of mine had just simple six numbers only PICs and both were hacked. We always played together and such, yet I've never been a victim.

I've never been a victim either, because my account name and/or email has never been database leaked from the MTS or whatever they use nowadays.

whoever has the old database/mts leak lists is probably still rooting through them if your friends genuinely didnt give out their info to someone and are just in denial.
no more people are getting hacked than usual.
...hamad is almost too funny to just ignore

I'm quite interested in learning what sort of thought process you go through when determining which letters should be capitalized.

Because your info is known they probably assume you have nothing to take. Also the fact you're, I'm assuming, extremely inactive.

hmmm, this isn't true because when I came back to maple, i geared up my char again, plus all the chairs I have ( I had over 40 chairs before I quit maple(I gave them away to my BL friends))
My account isn't inactive, since my friend play it almost everyday, plus, you see people reporting accounts that have been inactive for more than a year getting hacked or getting a reactivation email.

Hm that is weird, I have no explanation other than luck then, which now that I think about it, wouldn't be that farfetched as there are thousands of account info they have to go through.

Plenty of people who've been hacked weren't on that one public list of accounts from the MTS.

But, back to the original topic:
Yes, people have been hacked lately. It's been going on for a while.
No, there isn't any solid pattern in what accounts are being hacked.

I think we all agree this result of a database leak/hack or something alike. Now let me ask, who do you think is behind it? Chinese hackers or that other gang of hack creators from which half of them is being sued?
