Keylogger.

Or maybe they cracked your password.

Try setting your password to something impossible to crack, like

9h870f96sd85sd576uyihjnio7

or another uncommon password.

I don't think passwords can be that long, but I wouldn't know.

Anyways, people get hacked every once in a while. It's bound to happen to everyone. Just come up with a good password that's ten or more characters lone and includes numbers/punctuation. That usually helps in creating a strong password. My sympathy goes out to you. On the bright side, at least they didn't steal your social security number or credit card information.

I've never been hacked, you just need to not go on stupid sites, not download stupid programmes.. ie botting ones, and have a good firewall, also never tell people your password, and make it random.

For firewalls, you could try something like ZoneAlarm.

As far as hacking, I don't see why anyone would want to hack you. Unless they want to keep your account, all they can really do is make your lose items. It makes no sense.
Good thing you changed your password now.

that sucks man... really.
One of my biggest fears. is being hacked on rs. I'm a paranoid person. so I suspect it. every time I log in. lol.

I recall only being hacked once. During classic days back in 03. I change my pass every few months. to try and stay safe.

so make sure you're pass is strong. and frequently change it.

Indeed. Passwords should not be words but rather a string of letters and numbers (perhaps even punctuation if allowed). Password cracking software can ultimately crack a password if it's an english word. Don't choose the name of your pet dog or your mother's maiden name or anything like that. If you have a hard time creating one you can remember off by heart, create one from a combination of things you can never forget. For example, take a name of something, like your town or street or middle name. Then write it out backwards, leaving spaces between the letters. Then take a string of numbers that you won't forget, like your telephone number, birthdate, address, etc. and intersperse the numbers between the letters, either forwards or backwards. For example, if I take the word Canada and intermix it with say my telephone number 555-1234 (fake of course) it could look like this:

4 a 3 d 2 a 1 n 5 a 5 C 5

In the above example, both Canada and the telephone number are backwards. You could have them both forwards for a second password, or one forwards and one backwards for a third. If you ever forgot your password string then at least you could easily recreate it if you remember how you made it. A password like this is almost impossible to crack by any means other than a keylogger. Hope this helps.

I've found CD keys to be good things to get passwords from.
They're in the format xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
5 characters in a "block" makes them easier to memorize, at least for me.

I've had my runescape for over 5 years never had a problem with passwords but my password usually contain two random words and a series or numbers plus I have norton Internet secruity. Sorry you got hacked.
