Been around forever, Main server has them so bad Most guilds can't even go to bosses anymore as hackers rule HT and Zakum. Problem still ongoing.

Some players have been forced to log a ticket after PW changing as a security system error blocked their accounts. The wait for customer service to respond is the worst part.

This was a big one, and this is a hard one for most people to buy, it was for me as well until i became a victim of it. 1st a string of random hacking stories broke out on various forums: All of them claimed their PW was unchanged, Pin unchanged, had not been account sharing. Their email's were also uncompromised.The most interesting trait: Not everything was cleaned out: just the "hot items". Work Gloves, weapons, high statted armor. Some players had most of their meso intact if it was in the bank, low amounts were left alone as well. Low levels and even some level 200s were hit with the EXACT same pattern. Then in the last week of january, i logged on to find out my account had been hit as well, in the VERY same pattern, no pw change, no pin change, only my best items taken and the rather low amount of funds i had were left safe. Even my fairly valuable Blue mage hat was untouched.This was an account i had not touched in 2 months... My more active account was however safe and sound, meaning no keylogger was at work. scanning my laptop proved it to be so. My email was also un-exploited.

This case continued to escalate until one day on another MS fan forum someone named Ecko made a rant about Nexon sucking and then proceeded to post a rather big list of account names and PWs. The thread was quickly deleted, but not after about 10 people confirmed they worked. Nexon's public response denied it all even in the face of that. Claiming that its very easy to make a list like that seem like cracked data.


-GM hacked-

this lasted for a good while before it was finally stopped. Seems to be a joint effort from some hackers, who repeatedly crashed channel 1 on several servers were doing it to cause rollbacks on the channel that resulted in items being duplicated. wreaking havoc on the economy.

This lasted a week before being fixed: someone could literally hijack your character while you tried to CC; it just took some convincing the target to come to their channel. target's client DCs, the hacker "CCs" and logs on AS the target. leaving them able to clean out the player. a lot of cases claiming this to be true showed up, and even a video showing how it looked as it occured with 2 copies of the player on the screen.

Infinite amounts of the most valuable scroll in the game showed up everywhere cause of this one. People put them up in MTS, people who sold AND bought them, got banned for it. the smartest exploiters however knew a way around it by mailing out their goods. apparently Nexon can't trace Duey'd goods.

1 hour of godly attack power which shouldn't have be usable outside of the PQ, was used by parties to farm bosses in record time.
