This is all that has been said from Nexon so far on the hacking issue that is out there. I hope more will be done but at least they are now looking into it.

Credits goes to Andwoos http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1126090/6//Um_wth_herotex_D.html# This is what DiZLord said in that thread: [i]I'm an ex-hacker from a whole bunch of mules a couple years back. This type of hacking is completely possible. Now the chances of being specifically targeted, is again low. But we must face something people, hacking a game that uses packets, authentication, data streaming, Hackshield, and automatic disconnection data. Isn't IMPOSSIBLE. As stated above, authentication data can stop you from taking over the data. But let me ask you, is forming a bypass to completely block the auth data... plausible? Now that's assuming you require a bypass. In an experienced hacker's situation, a simple wipings of specific data and recoding them can cause their auth. data to appear complete neutral and static. This means that they can use other people's auth data because the server does not see it as a person. d4rkxStrIfe: You are the most experienced hacker from my perspective on your general knowledge and I'll leave you to prove me right, wrong, or whatever. ALL ACTIONS IN MAPLESTORY ARE RECEIVED BY PACKETS TO MOVE, TALK, DROP ITEMS, TRADE AND ETCETERA. A HACKER CAN HYJACK ONE. -ONE PACKET AND BE ABLE TO DECODE IT BACK TO THE SOURCE IE: THE SERVER. IN A SIMPLE FEW KEY STROKES THEY CAN USE EVERYTHING IN THEY'RE ARSENAL TO DC YOU. (IN SOME SCENARIOS YOU MAY NOT BE DCED. THEY HAVE THE CHOICE TO EITHER TAKE OVER THE ACCOUNT OR SEND ROUGE MESSAGES TO YOUR COMPUTER TO CONTROL IT ILLEGALLY.) And then that's how the hacking begins. But in my opinion, people hacking in this way have absolutely no moral sense for the terms of service, the law and computer safety. Abusing their knowledge of computers to hack a game is plain stupid. And for the record, I have tested this recently just to make sure. There are TWO reasons that HeroTex's items are in the MTS (assuming he is hacked), 1: Any malicious programs or corrupt data that is noticed by maplestory automatically DCes you. The reason for this is hacking leaves a residue if you will that the data is corrupt and is not the same as the original. Both GameGuard and Hackshield runs through your data just to make sure that all data is static. If it is, then you can use the cash shops. Nexon set up this in paranoia that they would eventually have NX (Which they probably will). The Second reason is where the auth data is actually useful. When you go into these shops, the reason you lag momentarily is because it reassigns you an Auth Data and has certain data that requires information from the original. Should it not be valid, the server automatically kicks you out. Whether you believe me or not, a few of my friends and I have discussed and tested this. It IS possible, but the chances of you getting hacked is EXTREMELY low. Also, it requires the use of either more than one computer, or more than one person. Simply because of common sense, if they have the character, what will they do? Trade it. ALSO

Your such a liar. Your already famous enough. What's the use of trying to start a maple crisis? Seriously now you haven't shown us any evidence, No SS of the actual ticket. No obvious proof of you getting hacked. Or this "hack" taking place on your account. Puppykevin owned you.
