MapleStory Hacked to the Tune of 13 Million Accounts |
Listed in: News Tags: combat arms, mabinogi, maplestory, Nexon
Nexon has an incredible empire going right now, with games like MapleStory, Combat Arms and Mabinogi quietly amassing millions of players while the gaming industry obsesses over games like Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3. It’s really quite amazing – they have some of the largest subscriber numbers in the industry and not too many “gamers” are that familiar with their work.
MapleStory is one of their largest successes, boasting over 100 million subscribers – that’s ten times World of Warcraft. Of course, MapleStory is free to play, and Nexon has confirmed only around a million players purchasing things in the cash shop, but the game is definitely a large forcein the global MMO market. Now, it looks like some of the game's player information may be at risk thanks to a fairly large hacker attack.
Nexon reported that it discovered a breach of its South Korean network, which resulted in the information of over 13 million subscribers being compromised. The information includes usernames, real names, passwords and the residential registration number of the player. At this time, the breach only affects Korean players, as Nexon uses separate servers for each country. However, it stands to reason that security holes in one network exist in others, so MapleStory players should be wary regardless of their location.
Nexon cannot confirm whether the information was actually stolen, they can only say that it was accessible. Either way, it’s a harsh lesson for one of the larger companies in the freemium market, especially when you consider how important it is that Nexon keeps your credit card info on file. If people are unwilling to share their information with Nexon, their cash shop goes right down the drain.
Do you play MapleStory? Are you concerned over Nexon’s ability to protect your personal information?

To this day I still dabble in Maplestory and have tried everything they have put out except Combat Arms and Dragon's Nest.
The thing is, ask most Nexon subscribers and they'll tell you, Nexon's way of handling hacks is rather lackluster.
Even if they compensate you, it's more of them pissing on a jellyfish sting. They do it with the best of intentions, but all it does is infect the wound.
Maybe this will be their wakeup call.
