Dont worry, thats impossible. You would have to be right next to it at its keyboard, and know all of its securities before the attempt, to hack it. Runescape is safe from hack :) edit : safe from "real" hacks, not from players doing dumb stuff inside it. But thats not gonna affect the game itself There have been several brake-ins at "internet stores" where the hackers have managed to get entire credit card number databases (which obviously weren't encrypted :wink: ). From my experience as a person responsible for security for internet servers uncrypted pwd databases always sound like a bad idea... P.S. Although i know that the average age/I.Q. of a RuneScape player probably isn't high enough for true attacks on servers, they barely manage to call you "n00b" ;-)

The interesting part about this update is - not that they block the passwords, which *could* be useful to prevent scams - but that the actual password database is obviously not encrypted... Even though they clearly state it on the website that "You should not use the same password on every site...", it is kind of shocking to find out that a single hacker hitting the database could get everyones password :shock:
