August 18, 201114 yr My brothers account was just hacked from a computer approximately 2 days old. They immediately gained access to his bank pin (probably because it was low numbered). he's now lost everything from his account. I am the oldest of 4 boys and all of us play runescape. My brother was a fairly high leveled player and the only one to use that specific computer, the rest of us play on a different computer. Personally I've traded all valuables to a friends account for the time being and a virus scan is running. The immediate search of my history turned up no suspicious sites. I'm not sure which computer was used when a faulty site was accessed. I'm fairly worried that my account has now been jeopardized. While I wont lose anything valuable in terms of gp I am well over 100 dungeoneering and have 6 chaotics that I'm worried I'm going to lose. There has only been 1 account hack so far, my other 2 brothers accounts havent been touched (that I am aware of). Is there more that I can be doing right now? I have no idea how this happened. I personally go on no suspicious sites. Any advice that is not trolling is useful.
August 18, 201114 yr Other than making sure you have a good password, recover questions, and don't visit any shady sites, you're doing the best you can. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~
August 18, 201114 yr Author This was entirely done on the second computer, happened because my brother posted his acc name on a youtube video. Nothing more. After chanign his password he did it again as a test and was immediately hacked again. anybody know how this works?
August 18, 201114 yr Has he virus scanned that computer? Does he have a pin, recovery questions and an email set? If not, he should do all those things. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~
August 18, 201114 yr Author he has a pin and recoveries. all. his comp doesnt have virus software yet. we'll get it tomorrow I suppose. My virus scan found box's_pin_generator.rar which i deleted
August 18, 201114 yr the only way i can see this could happen is if you have been to an infected site (bot site or free money site for example) normally this wouldn't be a problem, but without some kind of anti- malware / virus it would be susceptible or if someone downloaded something such as that .rar file..... i don't play psykick anymore... i play 2ed: "pure fett" 26081 to get 99 herblore
August 18, 201114 yr I got also hacked, best safety for your account is an good password (14 charters or more with Numers, Letters and Icons [@]. Set an bank pin (Do not use only low numbers ass 2134, for an hacker is it easy to get that password! Set recovey questions with STUPID easy answers that only you know. Register an email. Change the recovery questions every 3 months and your password every month! If you have an virus/keylogger, scan first your PC and change the password on an other account! Don't play on the scanning computer, your account will be hacked again! Good luck,Elite Sun Elite Sun says: "A day not Skilling is an day no EXP!"Click on this text for my blog!
