User blog comment:BlueChoco/Nexon's Lack of Security?/@comment-2099219-20120212181859/@comment-1906486-20120226220920

It's no surprise they want money to lock items, which really I find the most stupid thing overall. It basically locks it from scrolling, trading, etc. Basically.. it's locked to you until the time is finished. Someone I seen who had really good equips before the whole dupe thing, which totally messed the economy locked his gear and change his pw daily.

People are seriously paranoid over things, because of how badly Nexon handles security. I was mostly upset because the client refuses past 12 characters, reinstalled CA / Windows and then did some searching online. Which is how I found this info and most likely, he found this from trial / error type work.
