Maleficus1055 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Well my account Mattx71 was hacked, I can't log on, my recovs were not accepted. I have started a new account, Final Smash. I had a very generous donatiuon from my friend who was sad I got hacked, so I can start again. What bugs me is, I have no clue how I was hacked. I havnet been to any websites I dont normaly go to, I am puzzled. Also, heres my new characters stats and items. vvEXTREMELY generous donation from my friend, who has asked to remain nameless for his own reasons. Tumblr. Follow me!

runescapeloser22 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 And this is a rant how? I was wondering the same thing... Was your password 1234 or something easy to guess like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was a good pass. Also, no idea where this should have gone. If a mod knows, please move it. Tumblr. Follow me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freesia Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 This thread should belong to help & advice, or maybe tech & computers. Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guthix121 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 And this is a rant how? I was wondering the same thing... Was your password 1234 or something easy to guess like that? Jagex doesn't allow you to use simple passwords like 1234. I wanted to make a oob account just to try something out, and it said the pass was too easy. Own a forum? Advertise it for Free!!!

IAm314159 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 People can take all necessary precautions and YET GET HACKED...thus all of us need to pray hard that our accounts don't get hacked. But just stick to the virus scan, firewall, anti-spam, normal things, and I believe you should just be fine.

Pkmastachaos Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Well I'm going to assume your F2P. Maybe give this a read http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=715343 If your sure that wasn't the problem, you defiantly had too easy of recovery questions, or indeed got a key logger somehow.

That isn't the problem. I also am only f2p on my new account, I wasnt before. I'm beginning to think that it is because my recov answers were info my "friends" could have known, and on of them may have done it. Tumblr. Follow me!

Boris5000 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 :-k hmm, you have to get hacked for a reason. Why show off a new account on a rant anyway. And that "donation" looks like the best contents of another account and not a donation. But on the other hand, looking at your old account on highscores. A level 88-92 with some decent stats. There would of been more stuff eg whip. But WHY post on a rant, I've created a new account, This is meant to be a rant not a blog.
