MapleStory Universe halts all services after unauthorized server access

According to Nexpace (NXPC), the blockchain gaming platform behind MapleStory Universe (MSU) detected unauthorized external access to part of its off-chain server infrastructure on Nov. 12 and has suspended all services for maintenance since 4:43 a.m. UTC that day. The company said unauthorized access has so far been confirmed involving some users’ wallet addresses, login records, the first 12 characters of email addresses, linked social account information, and the API keys of 328 apps registered with its Builder Center, while the investigation remains ongoing. It added there has been no impact on the blockchain or smart contracts so far, no asset transfers or theft tied to the incident, no exposure of operational private keys, and no risk to assets from the exposed API keys. Services are scheduled to resume around 7:00 p.m. UTC on Nov. 12 after a full replacement of internal operational keys and the completion of inspections, although the timeline could change depending on the results of the review.
