There's a theory that people got hacked because the new forums aren't secure enough, which is reasonable doubt since the hacking spiked after they changed to the new forum.
main account? o-o I've heard about the hackings...so I changed my info just to be safe, but what else would i use other than my main account? :o

So using the Vindictus.exe to launch the game would be safer?

That's one of the theory.
But someone were hacked even though they claimed they only used .exe to launch.
Oh, changing password doesn't work, many were hacked even after changing it.
Right now, there's 3 theories:
1. The new forum, since it's not secure https, it's possible for hackers to hijack your data and take your password.
2. Something about AuthToken being very easy to recognize, and people who use public network (like college campus internet, or network without WEP key to log in) to log on to games is prone to attack. (not really sure how this work, but it's very possible since a lot of the user got hacked is using public network)
3. Another undiscovered trick, but probably some security loophole in Nexon's own server that's allowing illegal access to accounts. (Like what happened to MS, DFO)
Well, at least your item won't get stolen when the server's down.
@Aryiane, make a new account for the forum, but I don't think you even post there at all.... so... O.O
If you want to log in to the game, use .exe file in your vindictus folder.

There are hacks for nearly every game. It's always going to be annoying as long as you have people with programming knowledge and time on their hands.
Meanwhile, missing my 3rd day of raids...
