Thread: Database leak; email passwords hacked, etc.

  1. #1

    Default Database leak; email passwords hacked, etc.

    So earlier today someone on this forum had his mule account whispered the account password to it. I asked around on SP.net as to whether or not this was a hack/exploit, but by the time I got off the compooper again I figured it was just a random hacking.

    Seems it isn't. The thread exploded after I left and it appears that Nexon had another database leak in the past week or so, and various popular email providers were hacked as well.

    edit: read the article. Seems they only hacked people who used "Yahoo Voices", which could be logged in with non-Yahoo accounts. So no need to worry too much about the email hacking.

    Please change your passwords on both your Maplestory account and email account.

    If you type your email into the search box, you can check to see if your email was compromised. Checked both my main emails (maplestory email and primary email) and both aren't on the list so I'm safe it appears.

    I should be thankful that I don't use yahoo. I doubt it if I'd been hacked. I do however have a GMAIL account but i don't use it for maple. And i don't use the same password for maple or same username

    A bunch of people on SP.net were hacked according to the thread in the OP. Also saw someone on Bellocan who was chatting with his friend on how he got hacked.

    I think it's time to start buying item locks.

    Wonderful. Got hacked, lost about 100 ATT worth in gear, as well as my 3 evo rings. They didn't have time to loot my ravenhorn set because a guildie d/c hacked them.

    Blegh. Guess I'm sitting in CS for a long time.
