How did the hacker gain access to my password?

Featured Replies

I am clueless, that's why I need your help.

 

For starters I am using the most updated versions of Kaspersky and Spybot - Search & Destroy. I scan my computer very regularly. I do not find anything at all, each time. I have a highly secure firewall switched on at all time. I was still hacked today. The hacker moved my character a bit, but luckily touched nothing.

 

 

 

However, I really want this to stop. I don't think there's anything wrong with my security measures. How on EARTH did the hacker get my password then?

 

 

 

Thanks for your help!

 

 

 

Edit: I heard my amateur hacker friend talk about certain "scripts" the other day. If anyone knows what this is or perhaps anything related to this, please help me by posting here!

There are really only three ways to get your pass stolen:


  1.  
    [*:1nflb5gi]You downloaded a keylogger which Spybot does not recognize, so it is going undetected. Also there are some which are able to delete themselves after a certain amount of time.
     
    [*:1nflb5gi]You entered your runescape password somewhere else and they stole it.
     
    [*:1nflb5gi]You told your password to a friend.

 

 

 

In all three cases it is your own fault so be more careful next time.

Like the person above said.

 

 

 

Most likely someone watched you typing in your password

I assume you've changed your password now?

 

And made sure you have recovery questions set?

Or they add a bit of realistic looking data into the field and clone your ip: this worked fore me quite often (while filling in wrong recoveries at my own account)...

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing

 

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews

 

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores

 

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.
