It was reported by chosun.com that lots of Lineage and Lineage II accounts were stolen by fraudulent users,and most of the fraudulen users come from China and the domestic for they use Chines names like Xi. However no detailed figure was reported and NCsoft speculated that a major portal site or community site was attacked by hackers. Take care of your account !!!

The Korean online game �Lineage� is played by a small army of fraudulent users who use the IDs of others to register for the game. Fraudulent use of hacked personal information on this scale is without precedent.

There have been no reports so far that victims whose personal information was stolen online have suffered financial losses, but that may change since so-called �items� such as game weaponry can be easily converted into cash.

�Lineage�-maker NC Soft said Monday it was investigating reports that some 500 individuals play the game in the name and at the expense of people who never joined �Lineage� or �Lineage II.� As of Monday at 5 p.m., the number was still increasing.
