Security question

How is it possible for someone to change my password, email, and recovery questions within a period of 24-36 or so hours?

 

I've recovered it already easily enough and I'm still trying to figure this out.

 

EDIT: they deleted my pin and cleaned me.

Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

Only way for this to happen is if they either knew your Security Questions or they knew enough about you/your account to make it seem like they were the original owner (such as ISP, account creation date, payment method, etc.)

Removing your bank pin in such a short time, that i don't know. It should be minumim three days.

Recovery questions change in 14 days and email needs to be confirmed before it changes though...

Oh i did not notice that you said they changed your recovery questions. Perhaps they changed it while you were still playing and you never noticed it? That's really the only thing i can think of.

As for e-mail, doesn't it completely reset once you recover the account? If not, then perhaps they had access to your e-mail too.

They couldn't have. I log on to spin that dumb wheel nearly everyday.

You'll want to make a post in Account Help on the RSOF. It's recently become regularly staffed with jmods and has now transformed into the I've been Hijacked board.

 

As for the bank pin, my understanding is that there is a program that can defeat in seconds, and there has been for a long time. I don't know what its callled, or how it works, but I've seen enough people have their bank pin cracked and their bank looted in a 3 minute hijacking to figure that someone has either figured out how to defeat it, or has a system for recording it. Whatever the case it seems to be about effective as a paper wall against some people.

Keylogger that also makes a screenshot whenever you click. Since the other 9 numbers always show, you can deduce the pin. At least, that's what I can think of, no idea if this is the actual method used. But he said they deleted it, which shouldn't be possible in less than 72 hours...

That's only if you don't know it though. I thought you could remove it instantly if you knew what it was (in fact I'm pretty sure I've done just that).

I don't know how I could have been keylogged since I haven't downloaded anything related to RS ever on this computer. It's really annoying.
