People being hacked since the last Server Check.

how we change user id to email id?

how we change user id to email id?

I don't believe you can anymore.

Not too long ago my account was compromised. I have no idea how this person could've gotten access to my account.
I take safety and security very seriously, never shared my information nor saved it on my PC. It's all saved in my head. Nor do I have any malicious software installed on my computer or any viruses. My PC is clean and has been for a very long time.

I never thought this would happen to me. This has been the first time ever that an account of mine has been compromised.
Last year in December, the strangest thing happened. Most of my staff members from EllinForest were hacked and yet they didn't know how. One by one their account got compromised.
For a few members not only once, but twice after changing their account information. Fortunately, Nexon Korea allows us to change our Maple ID but even that doesn't help since I changed my Maple ID and password after I heard about the massive leak.

A staff member got hacked. Got his DABR, HTP and Agares polearm taken away from him. His friend managed to find the items in a shop and bought them. However, that friend got hacked as well and how? I don't know.
Korean users get hacked even with an authenticator (One Time Password) that requires a cellphone.

The person who accessed my account took away most of my chairs, money, load of potions. I'm really lucky.
Most of my items are locked and most of them are untradeable.
But my staff members lost more than I did: Nexon Cash, valuable % items and whatnot.

I'm upset because right now even if I change my Maple ID and password, I don't think I'll be safe.
By the way, everyone is forced to create a secondary password that can only be entered through mouse-clicks.

I vote for locks being sold from NPC shops instead of the Cash Shop. Don't think it'll happen but a man can dream, right?

Honestly, I begin to believe them when they say my support ticket about being hacked can't be looked yet at because they have so many tickets at the time.
Probably all for people getting hacked. >_>

im 100%sure theres a database leak, no there must be a leak

Wow that sucks @Spadow . Fortunately, you didn't get EVERYTHING stealed though. And yes, I agree with you. They should sell the locks from NPC's or ATLEAST make a sale like 360 days 1k NX or something.

Also, two of my friends got hacked not too long ago :/. It seems that it's only matter of time till we get hit.

To be honest, i've been thinking of an idea to get rid of all hackings: Nexon should release "Character lock" and this way, they can't delete our characters if our items are locked. Also i've heard that even with locked items they can still blow up your equips, well... then they should fix that too. And to be honest, this idea wouldn't be THAT hard to do.

This is what really concerns me. Either the hackers have caught on to man-in-the-middle exploits to bypass authenticators already, or their authenticator system is complete junk.

I'm going to go with "Man in the middle", as a similar process happened with Blizzard's authenticators sometime last year.
All hell broke loose ten times over when that happened.

im 100%sure theres a database leak, no there must be a leak

This is idiotic logic.
"I think there's a database leak because I'm to ignorant and close-minded to investigate any other possibility, therefore there must be a database leak"
If there's a database leak, explain this:
In KMS, as you know, there was a database leak a few months ago. Nexon Korea immediately announced that it had happened, and told everyone to change their passwords, providing a generous bribe for doing so. The database leak was fixed. Yet in the 3 months since then, account hackings in KMS have only increased. The people who have been hacked changed their passwords after the DB leak was announced and fixed, and some of them had even changed their passwords again after that. You believe that somehow, KMS caught one DB leak but didn't catch another at the same time, after they vigorously examined their DB security? Or a new one just mysteriously popped up right afterwards? Yeah, give me a f'ucking break.

 Spoiler

there must be a database leak or better there is a Database leak!

lets hope they fix this database leak

theres a database leak its almost confirmed. We can only use Hotspot Shield as for Now.

There is a Database Leak going on right now and we cant do anything about it.

Database leak is the most plausible

im 100%sure theres a database leak, no there must be a leak

You're speaking in riddles, spit it out man just what are you trying to say!?

It's not really malicious hacking though. It's more hacking for profit. They don't really take the time to delete characters and destroy stuff.

This is idiotic logic.

Well it is Hamad.

I know most of it isn't malicious hacking, but this could prevent a lot of hackers that are "asses" and just delete your character. I say this cause it happened to one of my friends.

So let's think about this:

You have locked ALL items and hackers can't even boom them. "Hacker: OH LETS DELETE CHAR THEN"

You have the character lock "item"

So they basically can't do anything. Only bad thing is that if you wanna move the equips to other char, then you're screwed

Well it is Hamad.

It is?
That explains soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much, you can't even imagine how relieved I am. I was afraid there was someone just as stupid as him walking the face of the earth.
Did he get b& or something, or did he just forget his password? (lol)

Well I might be putting 2+2 together and getting 5 but he got banned from this thread. Then suddenly MisterA appears out of nowhere and starts posting the exact same stuff. So for the sake of humanity let’s hope it is him.

Apparently the mods have been to the Ministry of Truth as well, because he's perma'd.

Well I notice a lot of items these days have a moveable within account only restriction. Surely it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility to create an item lock that adds that restriction to something? Though I still don’t agree that item locks are the way to go.

I feel a bit bad now, oh well it passed I’m fine again.

Locked items are transferrable within the account, providing they are regularly tradeable.

I don’t see the problem then. You couldn’t allow any other forms of trading or the item would be pointless.

The problem is if nexon suddenly comes out with some new potential tier or scroll, you're f'ucked. I know half my good items (more really) are just flat out untradeable in GMS. I dont lock them because first I dont care that much about his equips anymore and second because if someone wants to spite me by destroying everything I have, locks wont stop them, theyll just delete my char or something.
Locks stopped protecting char deletion, right?

My guildie got hacked ~yesterday.

Good fucking lord. Finally got hit.

They went through the e-mail though. Which, in hindsight was stupid on my part, had the same password as the Maple Account initially upon creation. If that doesn't scream that they have access to a list of emails/passwords then I honestly don't know what does, because that e-mail was used for nothing but Maple.

They even took all the karma-able items. Sad part is we even caught the mule it was trading to (BacktoKRA2 if that rings a bell for anyone) and it was barely on the account for 15minutes before we changed the PW, and still with all this wealth of information, Nexon is likely to do squat nothing.

If I needed more of a reason to wash my hands of Nexon, this is it. My only regret was not being able to sell off all the gear for $ before it got stolen.
