Kannas are getting permanent bans, should I worry?

In the last couple of days I've noticed a LOT of reports of people getting permanent bans, for no reason. It only seems to affect Kanna characters. Here are some people that say they've been impacted by this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/76c548/randomly_banned/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/766mts/permabanned_for_no_reason/
Also, looking in the maplestory Discord you see a number of people with the same reports.

A lot of Kanna perma bans for no clear reason, all since the patch. However, support so far seems to have reported they've just been hacking. It seems too much of a coincidence for this to happen to so many people at the same time, on Kanna only too. On reddit I see some people have mentioned it might be because of Shikigami Charm, but another person mentioned they didn't even have the skill bound. Someone else reported he had just used a rune. I of course can't verify this is true or not, but with this many reports it does seem likely not just them all lying.

Is the support looking into a potential bug since the last maintenance? Should I be worried when I play on my Kanna that I could get banned?

    I've been training up an I/L mage since Kannas are going to get shafted so bad that I wouldn't be able to do my dailies anymore and I noticed that I get a lot less dcs to the server selection too.

    It's like they really want Kanna players to quit. Welp, can't complain about the nerfs if they all got banned amirite?

    Nexon is cracking down on kanna hackers. They may or may not be getting innocents swept up as well. One can't believe everything one reads on reddit, but one can't have too much faith in Nexon's hack-detection and auto-ban mechanisms, either.

    Personally I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I'm avoiding hunting on my Kanna until this clears up.

    long time kanna player, been playing 4-6 hours a day, 3/4 of that time training and doing the things they "allegedly" did, and no ban.
    obviously they are hackers.

    I think they're banning botters (basically hacking I guess?) I see so many kannas at GS1 killing mobs while the map is 100% cursed, so it's pretty obvious they're botting while AFK. I'm sure everything is fine as long as you're making legitimate movement and are present at all times.

    I'm going to lock this since it already spiraled into idle speculation about the (il)legitimacy of players while I was asleep. One of the other VFMs forwarded a note about players getting banned a while ago as well, so if there is a bug then Nexon's already looking into it.

    If you or one of your friends feels they've been falsely banned, they can file a ticket and appeal their ban through official channels.

    I was simply farming on my Kanna (with both hands on keyboard, and eyes on the screen) when i was perma banned out of nowhere. I have been accused for hacking and using a third party program which i am well aware that i didn't do. I've already sent several tickets to nexon support but i keep getting the same response each time, that my account "This account has been involved in hacking, and the ban will remain". What do i do? I know i'm innocent. Nexon support has gotten me nowhere so far.

    Character Name: LemonQueez
    Character Level: 200
    Character Job: Kanna
    World Name: Reboot
    Date of ban: Oct 14 approx. 1:00 pm PST
