A Sad Story, The Risks I Gotta take When Playing rs- Help!

[pipeelbakan]

Hi, im pipeelbakan... I live in Chile, a small country in south america, this days im feeling a litle scared when playing RS, im 13 years old, this is a really civilicated country, i got some friends that play RS, one week ago my friend told me he got hacked, he recovered acc, changed pass and recovery questions, 2 days after, hacked again... what the heck is happening? yesterday i was walking in school and i saw some 15 year old guys saying:

 

 

 

-I hacked him and he recovered, now i hacked him again.

 

 

 

-I told my friends about that, he said, that they where his friends, they use to be really good friends, but now his account is lost?, they got hacker programs, they have said me they gonna hack me, im scared, i guess my friend lost his 104 acc, its all gone, this uses to happen in this country, just full of sad hackers, i had level 52 acc, i lost it 2 years ago, i hope this dont happends again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Those are the risks of playing RUNESCAPE here, in chile, here people sell accs, hack and buy money, every 1 gives their pass to his friends, and other.

Don't worry about it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't give your password to anyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't download any RS related files.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're safe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's pretty sad seeing someone threaten you to be hacked, in real life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep RL out of runesape

[Thus]

yeah, just stay safe and get antispyware. Also, use your bank pin and set random recovery questions that you write down in some really secret place

[frankfrank222]

Also, don't use public computers such as in a libary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These so called "friends" might have keyloggers on them, so it's best to play it on a computer of your own which you know is safe.

heres some extra precautions:

 

 

 

1) dont use public computers as stated, you dont know whats on them

 

 

 

2) scan your computer at least once a week and keep updated incase of hackers and if there is a keylogger:

 

 

 

3) get a program buster and use it, it allocates whats opened including hidden programs ie: keyloggers and yuo pick which 1 you can delete/close

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

personally i should know about keyloggers, i make them as a hobby and test them on my friends by directing to fake sites as a lesson to never trust extra sites ie: 3rd party world swtichers and autoers. of course nothing bad happens to them, i just put in a message in their friends list to tell them not to rely on other programs and dress them up as a woman or something humiliating...back on topic: like it says in the decurity place, never share your account and keep your computer checked on a regular basis. hope this eases your worries, and when in doubt, eat a cookie,pref oreo :XD:

That's a great bit of underrated advice.

 

 

 

Play on your own PC, download anti virus', a firewall and spyware, don't visit suspicious sites, and you'll be safe.

[SwreeTak]

You're safe as long as long as you don't give out you password, to anybody or download mysterious files.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just follow JAGeX rules and security tips and you'll be fine :).

one week ago my friend told me he got hacked, he recovered acc, changed pass and recovery questions, 2 days after, hacked again... what the heck is happening?

 

 

 

Once he was "hacked" on a computer he should never have used it again unless it has been cleaned of any potential security threats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

they got hacker programs, they have said me they gonna hack me, im scared,

 

 

 

As long as you don't log in from any unsafe computers they can't "hack" you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those are the risks of playing RUNESCAPE here, in chile...

 

 

 

It's not just where you live (I've visited there from the U.S). Security threats are world wide. Best advice. Don't log into any computer you are sure is clean and only go to known websites that you can trust like Runescape, tip.it and others.

Change your password often, like once a week or month, and make sure your recoveries aren't easy to guess, maybe even put in a bank pin. It's all there, use it. :D

[biggy08755]

Don't forget there are cracking programs.. So keep a hard but easy to remember pass. Like something like 911w0rdz987

:-s

 

 

 

Maybe you and your friends should stop giving out your passwords, then maybe you won't get "hacked" :roll:

 

 

 

Those aren't the risks of playing Runescape, those are the risks of giving out your password.

He never said that he and his freind gave out there passwords. He said that SOME people did it there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as crackers go, they really wouldn't work very well on runescape. Have you ever typed your pass in wrong more than 3 time? If you have then you know you have to wate 5 min before you can try again. There is no way to get around this what so ever. You may think that you could use a proxy but you can't. The server reads the username and blocks it rather than your ISP. There would be no practical way of doing this. There are literaly millians if not billions of possibilities from 5-16 letters, numbers, and spaces. There is no way that a cracker could figure out the pass in any reasonable amount of time with 5 min delaies ever 3 attempts.
