giftdetect· the right gift in minutesMapleStory Universe, the blockchain spin-off of the MapleStory game, has been taken offline after someone broke into part of its servers. Developer Nexpace says no assets were stolen.
According to the game's official X account, the team found on 12 November that an outsider had gained unauthorized access to part of its off-chain server infrastructure. That means the ordinary servers that run the service, not the blockchain itself. The access route was shut at once, and from 1:43 pm Korean time all services went into emergency maintenance.
Were any assets stolen from MapleStory Universe?
The operators say no. They checked on-chain records and the service's operating wallets and found no assets that were moved or taken. Players' private wallet keys are not stored on the service's systems, they said, and the operating keys that can move assets were not exposed.
What data was accessed?
Some users' wallet addresses, nicknames, access logs and parts of email addresses were accessed. Based on the records checked so far, real names, phone numbers, home addresses, KYC (identity verification) data and payment card details were not involved.
The team has revoked the credentials the intruder obtained and replaced the affected servers. Before service resumes, it will also swap out every operating key for a new one as a precaution.
Users who registered an email and may have been affected will get a separate notice. Further findings and a restart date will be posted on the MapleStory Universe website and its official X account. No date has been given yet.
