This is a little weird.

Hey guys, I got a little problem,
So, this is totally wierd, I have been playing all legend classes, because of link skills and level 70 exp pots and what not, I got a cannon shooter to 70 and been working on my mercedes.
I currently have a level 159 NL with pretty good equips, well funded to say the least, I hadn't got on him for a while because I was busy with legend classes (I'm a slow trainer and I don't play maple daily), today I decided to get on NL just because I was bored, and what do you know, last time I logged on him I was not in FM, but there he was , almost completely stripped off of everything; 99 atk claw, all my % equips, I had about 85% in luk equips and a few other items including 1.3 bil mesos...wth...
how does this happen? I didn't give anyone any account info, this is my account solely, never shared with anyone, nothing, how does this happen.
Was I hacked? or is this something else? Now I'm going to have to quit, this kinda sucks so please if you know what this is, it would be very helpful.

Wow, it's like were hopeless.
This is breeding thievery and fraud, I've logged a ticket but probably wont be hearing back from them anytime soon.
Man this is just very poor...

Not too long ago there was this info leak. People who put anything in MTS up for sale had their info basically shown to tons of hackers. That's probably how it happened.

All I can suggest now is log a ticket explaining what you lost and hope for a compensation package to get back on your feet (if you decide to keep playing).

Well, obviously there was a weak spot somewhere, whether in your computer security, or in real life. Maybe a virus snuck in through whatever you DID download. I highly doubt you've never downloaded one thing. Maybe, even, you accidentally muttered your password out loud in your sleep. Or maybe someone just randomly guessed enough of your info to obtain the rest.

It's always possible - just improbable.

As for only taking stuff from your main character, I've heard that hackers are in a hurry or something, because they have a ton of accounts to go through.

The best way to prevent them is being poor.

[quote=u3061202]i also notice how at the login window... you dont see all your equips.. i always feel i am hacked[/quote]
I know that but this is in game, once i'm actually logged in and I have 0 mesos in my items tabs and all my equips (besides the untradable ones) gone..nowhere to be found..
my bl is pretty active I asked them, they said this character was never on prior to that...wth?

@u3061202 Yeah I have that feeling too, but most times I just transfered my equips to another character and I forgot that

Any ideas? how can this be?
How is it possible? I didn't download anything, I have my computer security super tight.
And whoever hacked me only took all the items they needed, it seems, didn't even touch my other characters.
