It seems a gang of Chinese hackers have been rounded up in Korea, and charged with stealing around 50,000 usernames and passwords from multiplaying gamers and lots of virtual loot. The leader of this gang, Mr. Lee, is reported to have hired the hackers to send Trojan Horses to swipe identities of gamers.

In another attack MMOs were hit with a DOS (Denial of Service) attack which resulted in around a $150,000 theft of virtual money.
