People being hacked since the last Server Check.

People hacked in 2009 were not keylogged, and saying someone like eos was keylogged is ridiculous. For example, the hack outbreak I was victum too had nothing to do about obtaining your info, simply sending you a bowling invite on MSN. Why did I add a hacker you ask? I didn't, he hacked a friend of mine, and spider webbed it to other people, including me. All he did was sending me a bowling invite and logged out. He then used a 3rd party program that was able to catch my IP address, then did a MSN recovery to gain access to my email, using my IP information as data to prove he was the owner. MSN happily gave him access to my account. My ms account wasn't hooked up with msn, but he was able to find out my gmail account, and used the recently aquired information to break into that, same method.

Point is you're extremely dumb if you think keylogg is the culprit. Like extremely.

I've already stated that I'm using keylogging as a very broad term meaning anything that the client executes that sends data to the "hacker." In your example, you were at fault for accepting the "bowling invitation" without first ensuring that it was your friend who was sending it to you. People who fall for MSN Worms are just as bad as people who fall for actual keyloggers.

I don't run crap, period.
If I want something I generally write it myself.

Anyone who accuses me otherwise clearly knows not a damn thing about me.

I have personal proof that says that is complete bullshit, but I'll just leave it at that.

The fact they'd need a PIC bypass to do any of this proves right away the entire basis of your theory is flawed; If they can bypass the pic, which can not be keylogged in the first place so has to be bypassed somehow, clearly they have a security gap already that they're unaware of, which then points to the possibility of other holes and the obvious inability to see them.

Sigh, I really thought you were smarter than that. It is not hard *AT ALL* to get the PIC from the maplestory client.

As for why Maple - It's their flagship, their largest most well known game. Most of these hackings are economy based for mesos, which again, being the largest game has the largest market. Why waste time on a half dozen smaller games when you can go right for the biggest and juiciest.

Each of the games also have their own respective black market where they could get monetary "rewards" for hacking the accounts. If they truely are hacking the database, then there would be no reason at all not to cash in on those games aswell.
