Sorry if this goes under "fear-mongering" but my friend just got whispered on his FM mule (separate account, different computer, etc) his password to the account.
The thing is, he's running it on an old laptop that he completely wiped and reformatted so he could just play Maplestory on it (mule on it). He hasn't touched it for anything else and only used IE to download Maplestory initially.
Luckily for him that account had nothing but meso on it and he's already transferred that over to his main account.
I'm a little worried about setting up anything in FM anymore, but does anyone know anything about this? Or could it be just a random hacking?

I might be uninformed about this, but sounds completely as a random hacking.
Also... Why would this be considered an exploit?

Because it's obviously never the account owners fault or pure bad luck, duh.

I think he suspects that it's somehow being in FM, or maybe setting up a shop, that makes hackers able to steal one's password.

For reference,he's had his main account since '07 or so and hasn't been hacked on it, despite being relatively well known in "old" Kradia.
I'm guessing this is a random hacking then. Luckily it was only on a mule.

Database Leak.... happened again, they changed my password, so I changed my pass again (luckily, my main account CAN't change E mail )

Let's see how New Nexon performs regarding this.

How recently? As far as I knew it already happened twice (Nov 09, and Spring/Summer 2011).

That might explain why my password was changed a few weeks ago then.

Pretty much this.
I'm paranoid about being hacked again. Thus why I'm logged in (even if afk) a good 90% of the day.

*sigh* Seriously? More of this fear-mongering/exploit crap?
Time to change passwords again...just in case... where there's smoke, there's bound to be fire....

I highly doubt it's on Nexons part this time around, it was just on the news today that Yahoo/Gmail/MSN/Hotmail had hundreds of thousands of emails and passwords leaked and posted online.

Doesn't say anything there specifically about msn/hotmail but my news said they were also affected but yeah.

Whelp, I changed my Nexon password and gmail password, so if only gmail was affected, both were changed anyways.

My mule got hacked just recently though I admit that the PW and PIC were very lazy.
Meanwhile, B> a million item locks on my main account and changed email, changed email PW, changed NX pw, changed PIC, changed pants, changed optimistic outlook of the future.
I'll be Cash Shop afking for a few days too.

Oh jeez.. Just logged back in to look at some threads and this one took a turn for the worse. It was a false false alarm. I just went ahead and changed all my passwords to all my emails and Nexon accounts to be safe.

The link here will tell you if your email was apart of the leak (without your password being revealed.)
Luckily I didn't find mine, but if you do find yours, it may be a good idea to change your password. (or, use this as a good time to change your password anyways.)

Thanks for this! Forwarding it to everyone I know.
