User blog:BlueChoco/Nexon's Lack of Security?

I know people will really give me flack over this, but really I had to do some minor research for this bug. I've never been banned and kept getting "banned for 0 days" trying to login. Of course I use direct instead of site, just as it's one less step. Also to me lesser of 2 evils when you deal with possible security issues (to me personally..), when you deal with all the stuff on your PC being important.

People can laugh or whatever, but I noticed after all the things I've done here which were: Full reinstall, manual patch, full format / reinstall of OS. Just so I can actually login without this ban message. Problem actually is a bug with the client. If your password is over 12 characters (source here) you cannot login. So overall I've been thinking either have, a complex but short password to use this vs a properly secure password. Where is Nexon's thinking in all this?

So those who want direct access (skip using the site entirely) will need a short password. Which means what overall? More account vulnerability! I shouldn't even question this anymore.. it's Nexon for crying out loud. I'd at least trust Valve over Nexon for security. Despite their major security problem, which was now noticed and announced.. they can properly secure our information.

I've seen pretty sad bandages for their other game. MapleStory which has been full of rampant account hacks, the only real solution to all this? NX of course. You need to pay $2-4 to lock 1 individual item for a set duration, which means no within account transferring either. Nor any way augment the item either, so overall you get royally screwed. So you have say.. a good amount of items to keep secure? Best bet is to be really complex in passwords, or just item lock everything for maximum safety.

I'm wondering if Nexon will push this to be fixed, because this is a major security bug for players. I personally dislike using the site, because of the whole Facebook tracking honestly. Your personal info is at stake here, they can track your every move via the buttons on sites. Thus I have no account and never will!
