Dracae Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Several of my friends seem to have been legitimately hacked.. with the only link between them: they use Swiftkit.As a result I looked and asked around, and saw similar stories on rs forums , locked though, and I found more friends with similar experiences. NOW : I am not saying swiftkit has a key-logger or in some other way is hacking accounts.. BUT I am warning everyone using it to be very carefull.

99PureBroski Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Actually, your friend might have been a botter One of the most Common runescape botting platforms had malicious code in it, which was able to snatch all usernames and passwords that were entered into it I think they were waiting for free trade to come around, and swiftly hacked everybody. After that, the site shut down. The owners of the site are one of the biggest RL traders, [Caution: Jagex Rule Violation]. IM guessing they used the moeny and items from the accounts, to sell it to people for real life money Edited February 3, 2011 by Racheya Removed bot site name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracae Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 I totally understand this is circumstantial and it might turn out this was a coincident.. but I am not talking one person.. I am talking about many.I am also talking about people who seem responsible and lastly why its not Jagex: no stats reset AND banks totally emptied in several cases. This is just a warning, no more.. do with it as you like.If you want to believe al these people are boters.. fine, I actually hope you are correct, means Jagex is finally doing something..

Sy_Accursed Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I like how people link circumstantial things to it. Swiftkit does not make u enter ur pass etc anywhere other than the runescape java applet itself.No-one with a decent AV has reported it being blocked or alerted about containing norty files (eg keylogger) Therefore there is no logical reason to assume this is how ppl r getting hacked. More obvious reasons r:1) they visist dodgey sites get keylogged2) They actually fell for the recent scam email3) They have really rubbish passwords and have been hit by a password cracker Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracae Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 You guys are all giving valid ways in wich ppl get hacked.I do not take all the people shouting 'hacked' at face value. Some people I take a lot more serious then others. I have myself already sorted trough this and still see 'smoke'.. Not always, but often : where there is smoke.. there is fire. So anyone reading this, make up your own mind.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadiochao Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've asked around all my friends who use it and they're all fine =/ Most of them being at least 2.3k total or at least with accounts you'd think people would wantIt's been around for a long time anyway, it wouldn't make sense for them to just start hacking people now after years of a clean record That botting thing sounds quite believable though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IM guessing they used the moeny and items from the accounts, to sell it to people for real life moneyThis is what I heard on the RSOF too, that many botter accounts have been hacked. How amusing \:D/ We also have a thread on the recent hacked botter accounts here. :) So seeing as it's not swiftkit, rather botting clients, I'll lock this.
