MapleStory Players file police report

TODAY headline

"Hackers spoil MapleStory fun"

"Some frustrated gamers have lodged a police report after seeing their accounts instantly depleted because of recent hacking incidents"

IT engineer Jordan Tay, who spent over $700 over 2 yrs, angry that all his effort and time spent gone down the drain.
frustrated that AsiaSoft hadn’t done much to stop the hacking incidents.

AsiaSoft marketing director Ng Kok Khwang said the online attacks took place in August.
"We were under attack by Chinese hackers from China, and we have since blocked IP addresses from China and are monitoring the situation"

Wow....huge number sia.....AsiaSoft has 87 million accounts worldwide, with 2 million accounts from Singapore alone.

Said.....incidents reported from Singapore are rare and mostly occur in countries where gamers are careless with their account details.

....Most of the so-called hacking cases we encounter were due to users playing at certain cybercafés that have keyloggers or trojans. These are hidden computer programs that enable hackers to record or farm information from computer users.
