My account keeps getting stolen, help!

Featured Replies

Ok i had a 4 month break from playing RS, when i come back it turns out my password isnt what it used to be,hmm? so i submit an appeal and get my account back, i get on to find some stuff which i never had on my guy and summoning level, level 4 (i stopped playing before summoning was released) so i play for a bit, then he jacks it again, then i get it back again, this activity stops for about 1 week, during the week i become a member so i can finish the Long Postponed Hero's quest, so one day i try to log back in, password doesnt work..., so i submit an appeal and get it back, i find my character way away from where i logged off, with some new equipment on my guy which i never remembered buying, during this time period i also found my friends list dramatically reduced with some people i hadnt put there, one person greeted me and asked "Is this Dwayne?" and i said no, i also told him this was the orginal creator of the account. So i play my guy 1 day, then i find it is stolen later that day AGAIN, (The hacker asked one of my RL friends for a fishing pole) so the account gets locked for the massive amount of appeals, i submit a lock appeal and after 7 hours it is still pending, does anyone have any advice on how to get my character back and prevent the other guy from stealing it? (i have reset my recovery questions once and he still stole it) i have played this guy for a long time and got him to level 75 and my friends started playing again too, i guess i will say goodbye to the good ole Runescape if i cant get my account back

Norton phails, but whatever. Your pin is your other option, try and hold onto your account for 7 days for the pin to become active. If he can't get in your bank, then he might get frustrated.

http://www.grisoft.com/ Download AVG free. Much better than Norton IMO. Then delete all the files it finds to be warnings, ad-ware, spy-ware or the sorts. You could also try making another free account and see if he steals that. If he does, or it logs on from a different IP, it's concluded that the problem is at your end; meaning your computer.

Actually, I prefer Norton by far. But then again, I have Norton 360...

Eh, I had both before my mum did a rollback(because the internet wouldn't connect. -.- ). AVG found a ton of warnings (tracking cookies) that Norton never did. Although they're not as serious as something like a trojan, I got rid of them before they were any problem. Not that they would have caused much. :| It really just comes down to opinion I suppose.

Oh well, it doesn't matter what anti-virus you use. Just do a full system scan and post up what you found.

Virus scan, then change your pw, set new recoveries, set a PIN.

 

 

 

 

 

Remember, you've got to get rid of the keylogger/trojan before you recover the account...

There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.

Change your password and change your recoveries. Run a virus scan and remove any viruses. Viruses can be cleverly disguised in [Caution: Executable File] files too, especially keyloggers.

Yes, and make sure your virus scanner is up to date aswell.

McAfee works wonders for me.

 

 

 

Type out your password/recoveries on another computer, save it onto a flash drive, then save it onto your computer via flashdrive, and then copy and paste the new password/recoveries onto the official Jagex website to change your username's password. (Rembember to not type out your password, and to not log onto the game on your computer.)

 

The person getting onto your account will not know the new password, and will give up trying. While you are doing all of that, run a virus scanner. If it does not pick up anything on your computer, a shotgun to the CPU seems like a reasonable answer.

 

 

 

 

 

Otherwise, a virus scanner will do the trick.

GUYS!!! He already got hacked, and he doesn't have time to set new recoveries/set new pin before the hacker gets it back.

 

If I was you, I would seriously do this:

 

1) Get your account back.

 

2) Don't logout from it even if you are sleeping. ( I would use my own ways to do that, but against rules to stat it out here in forums)

 

3) Do this for approximately 7 days.

 

4) Enjoy your own bank pin and the hacker will be really frustrated and won't be able to play on that account.

2.thatll waste a lot of energy ...

Since he made the account members before he can recover it himself, so getting rid of any viruses or keyloggers (although you should anyways) wont get your account back.

Quit. PM me if you play The Conduit to exchange friend codes.

If you had the time to go into all that trouble of downloading illegal third party software, then you should have the time to virus scan and then get your account back. And thus, if you left your account on all the time, then JAGeX will ban it.

OK, 1) I wouldn't care about getting a virus or anything because I do these program by myself.

 

2) If you are online for 7 days and doing nothing at all, you wouldn't get banned.

 

3) I could take breaks for about 3-4 hours every day also.

if your on a mac and you hold the arrow key, then hit the expose button and go back onto the same window the window keeps spinning, and you could possibly go on for as long as youre computer and internet can handle. not that i ever do this. i just found out i could do it by accident.

make a pin so that everything is secure... then get it back and change password. make sure u viruscan

Oh yeah, it's not the least bit suspicious that you're repeating the same events over and over for 168 total hours. No, not at all.

Guys, discussion of Third Party Software is not aloud on Tip.It. Maybe you should read the Tip.It Code of Conduct before posting on this thread again. This is probably going to be locked now.
