Just got hacked

Chi Meng · **Posted:** April 2nd, 2005, 5:42 pm

Well, i thoguht i could trust my friend, he was lvl 101. He asked me over msn to if i wanted to see some funny rs pics. So , i said yes. Turns out, it was a keylogger. He stole my account. Now i cant login, so if xxxkiller174 offers to give/sell anything, dont. Its not me.

I sent in a customer support thing, so hopefully i get my account back . If he took my stuff, i probably lost 4M+ in items and gp, including my full zammy whichi worked hard on. He erased all my recovery questions, so i cant even try to get back my account. The only way is with the help of jagex.

This is sad that the guy that did this is lvl 101.

wow that stinks
sorry you lost your account and items
who needs enemies with friends like that?

and valkor if you read this thread don't try and blame swiftswitch

I dont know why this guy didnt just take my items and leave my account. Instead, he goes into my account offering to sell it back to me. WDF?

If i never get my account back (seems like i wont) then ill just have to train my pure ranger.

I have also lost my trust for high level players because of this.

I just saw him log on..
But how could he erase your recovery questions..
You need 14 days to change the recovery..
If you answer all your recovery right, you just get your account back immediatly..
Good luck..

Your recovery questions don't change for 14 days.... the old ones stay there for 14 days after you change them, and you can cancel the change when you log in if it wasn't you

Dude, if the file extension is not a pic extension, then its HIGHLY probable its a keylooger.

Enkidutorixownz.exe

CHOOSE THE .GIF FILE!!!! That's my advice.

Man that sucks! Im really sorry

2 of my really good friends got hacked and one of them lost about 10M in herbs and pots(he had 99 herblaw)

Well, about the recovery questions thing, when I try recovering my password, It doesnt show anything. I'm sure i always had these set, but they dont show up.

Ps, does anyone know if the password query things actually work?

Zachy · **Posted:** April 4th, 2005, 7:13 am

The password query doesn't really work..
BUT, if you get all your answer right, you automatically get your account back

the only way to stop a hacker that i know of is to log on check your location and stuff, and if anythings wrong, write down the ip in the pop up window, i learned the hard way

What an evil,evil cousin.....

P.S. Sorry I don't know how to use the quote thing.

O yea! I got my account back! The password query thing does work, dont underestimate it.

This is what they wrote in my query:

Your Password Request has been accepted by our staff:

Your Request Sent on: 4th April 2005
Message Status: Accepted on 5th April 2005

Your password was changed to the new value that you supplied, and your recovery questions have been reset.

You should now log-in via the 'Account Security' link on our front page using this new password and set some new recovery questions and answers to secure your account.

This is what i found in my message centre:

We regret to inform you that your account has been locked because we suspect someone else may know your password.
This is done to protect your account. Please can you fill out a password support form on the main page, and provide as much information as possible, so we can be sure we are returning the account to its rightful owner.
1. Go to http://www.runescape.com/
2. Under Other Features towards the bottom right of the main menu, click on Password Support.
3. Click on the Password Support link on the left.
Read the instructions on how to fill in the form and remember to write down your query tracking ID.

This isnt bad right? My account should be unlocked now? Hopefully.

Now, I just got to get rid of the BSOD on my computer so i can start playing again! Can someone please post on my thread in the "Troubleshooting" forum to help me please.

Woot! Once i can login again, ill post the guys ip so all of you can hack him!

thnx for the support guys
