Found this on Basil Market.....www.basilmarket.com/forum/2235597/5#comments_list.....and it reads as follows
Ahead of time read it if u want, if your just going to troll disregard this and proceed to the troll bar at the bottom of your page
~~Edit Here is a website with some alt codes number 1-15 are alt codes i would recomend www.alt-codes.net/ ~~
*Note you can use any alt code you so chose these are just ones id recommend you can use your own if you choose*
This is all purely fact based on what myself and the Resistance have collected (in Broa)
~Second Edit~ just found out that a second method hackers are getting info is via internet browser cookies, just clean your cookies before and after you login and you'll be okay from this method
~Third Edit apparently the MTS has been compromised again AVOID IT at ALL costs, if you have MTSed lately Skip down to Lock my account~
What The Hacks are
Theres 3 major ones currently here they are with a small decription
Hack#1P.I.C. Bypass Like the name sugest renders the pic usless
Hack#2Pasword Hack so long as they have your ID they can obtain your password. How? simple, when u login to the game the password u type in is cross checked by the one nexon has on server record, so ina nut shell, Nexon sends your password to the game, hackers decode it and wala Nexon just sent your password right to the hacker NICE one nexon, Nice one!( The actual way they obtain it is WAY more complex but this is the simple version)
Hack#3Website Log To be honest we dont know much about this one, what we do know is the ppl not on the mts list have been getting hacked also. What did they have in common? They all played via web log, checked or logged a ticket, or charged nx, all of wich require you to login to the website. Nexons site is not encrypted meaning that your data being sent to the server is not being hidden, meaning hackers can find it and they are.
Who the hell is doing this?
From what we've found out, its more then safe to asume that this is the work of the Chinese meso sites judgeing from there recent activity and the nature of the hackings as well as the time frame of when the accounts are hacked matches china's timezone.
Nature of the hackings, what do you mean?
What i mean is the hackers only take equips, chairs, and nx, they do not sok your rare items that could be worth billions, they do not check storage, they do not check mules, they only take what can quickly be looted and sold, they also resell it for extremly cheep. (This doesn't mean another hacker with similar hacks wont check your storage and mules just these ones in particular)
Why are so many being hacked Maple has been around for years why is it only so bad now?
Well for this we have no Proof just my theory from the events and what ive put together, so do note this is entirely my opinion putting the peices together based on the time frame.
First we have massive dupeing, i mean MASSVIE, Rare items are everywhere, everyone is all buy buy buy especially 27 atk vss (violet snowshoes) people are flodding to the mts buying the "abnormally" cheep items and reselling and redupeing and remerching this event brings many to the mts.
"""Suddenly""" the mts has a security error, everyone who used the mts now has there info void and out in the open, Coincidence? People flooding the Nexon forums asking nexon what the hell is going on outraged EVERYONE wants answeres.
"""Suddenly""" the nexon forums have a security leak where if you hover your mouse over there forum name you can see there login id, These "Coincidences" sure keep poping up all over the place dont they?
Almost right after, the amount of meso sites advertised nearly tripples from what it was, and its ""Suddenly"" Supper cheep gee whered they get all those mesos and items and in such high ammounts... Coincidences sure like to keep happening dont they?
Nexon shuts down the mts to "fix" it as well as repair the forum leak, the super cheep deals on mesos suddenly stops, but theres still alot more sites and spammers then there once was....
Advents Theory
Firstly i'll point out the mesos sites are a business, they dont know how to hack.
My theory is is that the hackers, im not talking about the idiots who follow the 1 2 3 step by step learn to hack for idiots guide. Im talking the guys who make the hacks and sell them to the websites. My theory is that the people who make the hacks have struck a deal with the meso sites, The hackers bypassed the security, baited the players in, and gave the meso sites a custom hack package to go through the big list (mts list as well as others that the hackers collect) the meso sites now have a steady way to meet their sales quota and the hackers get a steady cut of the profit.
Anyways thats just my theory on whats going down, the peices fit, but again thats just my theory based on what ive collected.
Your giant wall of never ending tecknogeek is nice and all but how do we protect our accounts i dont wana read all that X.X
Well there are a few diffrent things depending on how much of your info is known and what youve done over the last few weeks
If you have Logged into the website for ANY REASON within the last 4 weeks OR been on the mts list you need to do the following:
Number 1 STAY ONLINE i cannot stress that enough if you are logged in they cannot get you
Number 2 GAMELAUNCHER ONLY log on via gamelauncher there is a chance they dont have your info, and they cant get your login ID from the launcher but they CAN from the site
Number 3 LOCK YOUR ACCOUNT I will explain how to do this at the end of this Note
If you have NOT logged in the website in anyway shape or form over the last 4 weeks and are NOT on the mts List you are LUCKY and are for the most part safe But the following still MAY apply to you:
Number 1 STAY ONLINE if theres even the smallest chance of you being hacked rather safe then sorry right? remember the hackers live in China think of the time zone of a business in china with where you live right about when you LOG OFF for bed right?
Number 2 LOCK YOUR ACCOUNT if you have to log off for a long period LOCK IT again i will explain how to lock your account.
What do you mean Lock my account? How do i do this? What does it involve?
When i mean lock your account i mean no one can use it, not even you.
Q: Do you mean DC hack your own charatcer?
A: No i do not. What i mean is you create a password with an alt code which makes it so it cannot be recreated by anyone, not even you.
Q: But i thought you said they can see your account info if you use the website, i have to change my password from the same website how does this help?
A: you incorperate something into your password called an ALT Code. Here are some examples of Alt codes you may feel free to use them in your passwords if you chose to lock your account : (basil doesnt support alt codes so please visit this link numbers 1-15 for alt codes id recomend www.alt-codes.net/ )
To acually make even ONE of those Alt codes without coppy paste is a crazy key combination that looks like this: Alt + ctrl +f1 +dfnowc+f4+f12+cknecalcn la+f9 + cwsdcascasdcdsv
thats only to create ONE of those symbols
Q : I thought you could only change your password once or twice a day does this mean i cant play if i want my account secure?
A : When Nexon changed the pw limit to 64 characters (which doesn't help, it only buys you time) they changed it so u can reset your pass as many times as you'd like
So I should do this crazy Alt code thing?
If you choose to Lock your account the ONLY way to gain axess to your account again is to RESET your password to your email that is the ONLY way to regain access, if you DONT have access to your account email do NOT do this
How to do it
To lock your account logon to the site (yes the one i said dont log on to) Select change password you will be brought to NEXONS site not maplestorys but Nexons
Here is an example:
"password1"
that password is easily hackable because they can see it, but if i coppy paste an alt code in
it becomes this
"password1(star and heart symbols/other alt codes )"
on some computers the Alt codes arnt programed into your computer so they may look like box's like this [] some will be visible some will not (note you only need 1 alt code in your pw to lock it BUT the more u add in the more pain in the ass it is if anyone is trying to hack you, so give em hell = D )
the NEXON site allows coppy pasteing, so an alt code can be pasted in with your password, BUT you CANT ON THE MAPLESTORY SITE OR GAMELAUNCHER, so even if a hacker can see your password is
"password1(star and hearts/ other alt codes)" without the ability to coppy paste the alt code or codes in, they have to do something like this:
"password1 bnkotretyjcmw0g,w4xqjf904w-sgamiu9trwygjwu4590jwgmtoiruyhjmbv2hfjgito0yhjamvn9u46wgnion540
ijh459gnqtwp[qgj08w4n"
Im no expert but that looks a little diffrent then "password1 (star and hearts/ other alt codes)" so even if they can see the alt code they CANNOT recreate it, nor can you. Thus if you make this your password your account is locked NO ONE can get on it Not even you.
I keep getting an error when i put in the alt code password, what the heck? is it exepting?
If you havent noticed, Nexon is daft The password works they'll just never tell u it did, that would be smart afterall, if you dont think it worked try loging in, bet you cant.
Q :How do i get back on my account when i wake up or get back home from school if its locked?
A: You must RESET your password to your Email via i forgot my password option, this is the only way to bypass an Alt Coded password.
So as long as my email is secure the alt code keeps my account safe?
Yes, so long as only you know your email you are safe, and no, the meso site hackers do NOT have email hacking programs, only maplestory ones. Even if you use your email to login to the game an alt code will still protect you.
I dont want to have to go through the hassle of doing this all the time, what do you suggest?
I suggest you login to the game, then alt tab and "Lock" your account, then tab back to the game you are already loged into, this way you can play, but if you need to go out, or get dc hacked, or anything comes up, the moment u exit the game your account is already locked and safe.
Ahead of time read it if u want, if your just going to troll disregard this and proceed to the troll bar at the bottom of your page
