Ragnarok Online Hacked Again

Posted by simoniker on from the not-good-for-business dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to a Stratics article, Ragnarok Online, a primarily Asian MMORPG, has been hacked yet again. As many people will remember , Ragnarok was hacked in late June, and a file with every user's passwords/usernames was distributed." Another anonymous reader claims: "Someone logged on as a GM, loaded arbitrary items and distributed them, used the in-game announcement system to announce their accomplishment, and was able to delete all of the official GM accounts." As yet, there's no official statement from the Ragnarok developers on this latest alleged issue.

    On the serious side though, remember Sega Japan using the excuse of America being full of nogoodniks as the reason they were going to charge twice as much for PSOv2 then they did in Japan? I guess they were right.
