New hacking epidemic

I wish they would stop trying to sweep everything under the rug. I'm glad they had a relatively quick response to this (hopefully it is actually fixed), but they need to acknowledge their mistakes. Keeping their customers in the dark is wrong.

I agree with this, but I have to say it's the smartest move Nexon can really make. After all the security preaching they've been doing lately, if they were to say "hey guys, there's a hack that lets anyone take over your account without any of your information, and we patched it" would just raise the question of "what if there's something else out there like this that slipped under your nose?"

While they can brush it off by saying "we would know if something else like this happened" it still makes them look bad that this even existed in the first place. On top of that, announcing it would mean that Nexon has to actually take responsibility to help every person who was caught up in this. Unfortunately, that's not something they like to do, so by sweeping it under the rug they can stick to only helping out a few lucky players and giving the rest a cold shoulder. Whether this is right or not is up for you to decide for yourself, but this is actually the most beneficial course of action Nexon can take.
