woopidoo2 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I wanted to log in on my main after a long time (Woopidoo2) and when i wanted to log in I got this message: We suspect someone knows your password. Please change your password on the main page. Well I went to that main page as soon as possible, and I changed it to a very long - unfigurable pass :) I was frightened, Its just strange to know that someone wants your money, all of your vulnerable stuff, what youve worked for... Have you ever got this message? do you know who did it? I suspect one of my old rs frends, he keeps on beggin for my sara... Discuss! :) [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bestsob Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Tip.it's password database was stolen one day during an upgrade, or something like that. Several accounts were locked like this. Nothing to fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miner_I Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Yes I have gotten it; pretty sure it's just a way of clearing out old accounts from highscores and such. They "fear someone has stolen your pass" because you simply haven't played in a long time. :D ForsakenMage, I guess you probably know that it is jagex's fault for everyone thinking the database was stolen, they state "it has just been brought to our attention that a large unofficial fansite (NOT our site) has had their password database stolen" in their update news. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk8erfreak Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I got the message aswell.. Long story short: I freaked out and changed my pass ASAP, Scanned for viruses, and changed it again :lol: . 136 Combat, 2290+ Skill Total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a very clever hacker to steal the password database :roll: not really you just have to know a little about exploits and stuff and im not sure if it was phpbb forums but i was some kind of forum where they messed up in the coding or whatever which easy enough you find it out you can get all the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a very clever hacker to steal the password database :roll: Not really a hacker with any real skill could do it fairly easily ide say, con sidering they can access credit card records and military databases and other classified stuff.
