nexon is finally posting on the forums about all this; first post denied anything has happened;

We feel at this time not to make an official notice due to the nature of the issue. I can assure you it is not something on our end. We are not ignoring it or covering it up, but broadcasting the isolated issue to players who were unaffected or will not be affected could make the situation worst. We understand there was a period of "hacking" occurrences but there are also isolated incidents. To differentiate, I strongly encourage all players who were "hacked" to submit a ticket. Thank you.
later an odd post that seems to be a small admission to something?

Thank you. You are the sunshine in my grey sky.
I know this issue is hard for many players and, hey, it's not easy for us too. Let's get through it together.
i was looking around the meso sites today and found something fairly unusual for most of the large ones; they now have a lot of items for sale >____>
all of this reminded of an odd warning posted on the nexon forums 2 months ago;

Due to security concerns regarding the use of meta tags within image files, we've taken a proactive measure to disable all uploaded images from showing on our forums, this includes image uploads, and avatars. We regret taking this measure, but because of the use of javascript within image meta tag being an increasing activity among hackers, we've taken this measure until we can verify that it poses no threat to our players. We thank you for your patience.
The Nexon team
it is a bit odd how people who talk on forums actively have been a huge target for the recent outbreak. specifically people trying to calm down users or post that they don't believe there is a leak at nexon.
personally; im being less active on forums... i haven't been logging in or posting except on guildhonour and here.
TO BE SAFE; this may be a good time for people to disable javascript on their browser/and or (if you dont want to be that extreme) if you use chrome/firefox get the addon "noscirpt" to block unwanted code from accessing your browser.
overall; im the most leery about using southperry for now.
on southperry people have been making direct comments that they want to be hacked/defying that anything really is going on... only to be hacked after making such comments. A fairly large group of southperrys most active users have just also happened to be hacked in game. How/why is this?
Why is it when this news spread from southperry to sleepwood and basil that we didn't see an outbreak of large amounts of forum users over there being hacked.
looking back to when this all started; it was on southperry. it began with southperry users being hacked in game. i changed my southperry info soon after wards knowing what had happened on the guildhonour forums not long ago.
awhile before this i remember southperry was having issues with its site while moving to the new v bulletin system. it took about a week for the forum to be fixed up. soon after this is when all the problems with accounts began.
For me it raises the question of the sites security or possible issues with v bulletin 4.0...
overall im really suspicious of that forum; much less all forums at the current time being. given what little information you need to hack a maplestory account; a forum could be a gold mine.
I know for ours i've taken the time to try and keep any private information hidden or only accessible to fellow guild members. I hope that everyone who uses this forum can trust me with their information and that i wouldn't do anything with it. But you cant say the same for people you dont know... and we dont really know the people who run/operate southperry.
IMO sleepywood and basil have proven themselves to be trusthworthy sites. i still have a very open opinion when it comes to southperry, esp given what has happend recently. while i have no proof it was something on southperry; the events that did occur are too strange to ignore.
.. Uhm , I see alot of rumours says that nexon database has been hacked and wondering if that is accually true? 
Read the directions, and directly you'll be directed in the right direction.
