Sorry, due to a bug in the forum allowing someone to continually hack things we have decided to shut down the forum until we can get it upgraded to IPB 2.1.6.

The forum will probably be down for at least 2 days if not longer.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

is Rsbandb the only safe one?

trekkie · **Posted:** May 25th, 2006, 8:44 pm

iono maybe

just make sure you don't use the same password for rs and here, and if you on a computer where multipal people uses it make sure you log out everytime

Mckennant · **Posted:** May 25th, 2006, 9:12 pm

yes there need's to be an anoument telling pepole that on the rsbandb homepage

trekkie · **Posted:** May 25th, 2006, 9:22 pm

The instance in Tip.it is different. Basically what happened with tip.it is a corrupt admin on tip.it downloaded the database, decrypted the passes of some Jagex staff accounts and, since they used the same pass on the fansite as on rs, was able to get on their accounts.

I completely trust our administration however, as a precaution, you should never use the same pass on here or any other fansite that you use on rs.

Yep as long as you use a different password you will be completely safe.

I would think that would be obvious that people would inherently make there rsn pass unique...but I guess not...I change mine every several months. Just a precautionary measure.

Probably not safe, still. It just happens that tip.it and rhq are more popular. People are more likely to try and hack them because of this.

Thats common sense. The password you use on RS should be unique. It is for me. I use a few passwords, but the one i have on RS is unique; not used anywhere else.

Christopher · **Posted:** May 26th, 2006, 12:39 pm

Next will be runscapecommunity.com they are probably going in order of size and importance...tip.it, then rhq..., I wouldn't be surprised if another major rsn forum got hacked in the coming weeks.

Anyone dumb enough to use same rs pass and forum pass needs to be beaten. Im just mad because runehq isnt blocked on my schools network but now i have nothing to do during computer apps.
