Read my comment above.
The trade system itself most probably can't be used to hack someone, but people may use it as a cover up.
But then again, hackers can do anything. You're never safe.

They are trolling. Why not go hack the richest player in the game then? Tsktsk.
@Plenair: Hackers can hack just about anything if they feel like it and have the skill to do it.
Simply writing those codes in the trade, however, most probably won't do much but scare a person to change their info.
By doing this, you have logged into a website that sends data to the maplestory client on your PC. That client sends data back to MapleStory's server to verify your login credentials. Those are sweet spots for hackers. Highly skilled hackers could do way more.
OT: Either way, you're most probably not being hacked. But because there is a chance that it could potentially be somewhat of a concern, I would advice that you have a full scan of your computer using an antivirus, and change your account info once you're 100% sure that your computer has no viruses/spyware (aka keylogs) that the hacker might be using. If you want to know what hackers can do in maplestory, search up the IGN Ecko.
Why would he write it?
No it is not possible. Unless they hacked into Nexon's database and gained access to everybody's account info.
But then they wouldn't need to trade you, just find your name
No it's not. Unless they somehow hacked Nexon's servers, because I trades are most likely done on the server - or else duping would be on a rampage.
Remote hacking through using your UID or whatnot isn't possible at the moment from what I know..
Yes, use protection. No glove, no love.
Actually that can happen, but only in rare circumstances.
No, they are trolling you.
Doubt it.
No, it is not.
