Rockstar account hacked and email changed
So after a playing rdr2 one day , in the same day some ugly low life loser hacked into my rockstar account and changed email to his. Now I am not able to launch the game even if in rockstar's social club it says I still have my old email but everytime I launch the game it says to manually log in and verify that hacker's email. I tried contacting their support but being a competent support team they haven't replied to any single queires for the pas 3-4 days. They only asked me to confirm my email through replying through email which I did but there was no follow up from their side. and haven't been able to play the game for almost 5-6 days. So is there anything I can do or any other way to contact them? It is really frustrating since these was a expensive purchase for me , and took me almost a year to save up. And it is terrible for companies to force their stupid third party loser launchers and account process to play their damn game instead of launching straight through steam.

in my case I've managed to solved it, dosent matter if the hacker change the email or password but you gotta be quick or thr recover link will be expired. check your inbox email, do you got confirmation from rockstar that your email has cahnged? i got it in CHINESE.

okay my account got hacked. I get rdr2 on sale, download it, run it for benchmark (just upgrade my GPU) then close it. It's a busy day so I revisited the game few days later and it wont connect saying I need to re-sign to HackerEmail@Hack.com

checking my gmail i found email from rockstar in chinese saying that my email (OriginalEmail1@email.com) has been changed to HackerEmail@Hack.com
found this online from another post in other threads :
https://youtu.be/gzNMXI6mvfc

WATCH THE DANG VIDEO FIRST

should I done nothing and straight to following this video everything would’ve fine.
My grave mistake was, panicking (who doesn’t panic? When your hard earned money goes down the drain)
I open rockstar social club using my OriginalEmail1@email.com this prompt me to forget password/create new account (don't really remember as i was panicking). In this case, what it actually do is 2 account was actually created and registered in rockstar server :
1 account using HackerEmail@Hack.com (your real account that got the email changed)
1 account using OriginalEmail1@email.com (new acc you just created using your original email. remember in rockstar's POV this is a new unregisterd email since your old account has been set to a new email)

So when you try to do the steps in the video, it will fail and said that OriginalEmail1@email.com has been used for another account, try to delete the OriginalEmail1@email.com account first.
DO NOT DELETE ACCOUNT, because it can only done through support, and it literally says on the page may take up to 30 days.

INSTEAD, the solution that works for me is :
Log in to OriginalEmail1@email.com account, go to setting and change your account to any other email you have (real email so you can succesfully switch email, lets say AlternativeEmail2@email.com)
Verify link and voila 1 account using OriginalEmail1@email.com changed to AlternativeEmail2@email.com

What this means is OriginalEmail1@email.com is no longer registered in rockstar server.
ONLY THIS AND AFTER THIS ONLY YOU CAN USE THE STEPS IN THE VIDEO.
Those F**kers somehow deliberately using chinese to confuse us.

Hope you succeed, because if it's been too long, the recover link in the video will expired (read it somewhere in reddit/otehr forum)

IF YOU SUCCEED IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATE THE 2 STEP VERIFICATION

sorry that happened to you. i think steam shouldn't even sell this game cause it happens so much. its just theft. luckily you're in luck.

https://youtu.be/gzNMXI6mvfc

people say this is the way.
sorry again. rockstar is a real dissapointment and shame lately.
this was probably the best game they've made in god knows how long.

also if it bugs out when you get it.
run steam as administrator if you boot it through steam.

Has something changed in the cheating/mod community recently to make it effortless for cheaters to hack other player’s accounts?

This seems to be a huge problem with lots of players all of a sudden. :(

yeah its not only you, its literally thousands of people that bought the game in the last week or 2.
rockstar somehow turned into a real trash company lately.
i grew up playing the original gta top down.
so that evolution from then, to this. rdr2 (when it was functional and good) was impressive to me.
but now i see people being STOLEN FROM. and this company doesn't say shidd about it.
and steam keeps selling for that almighty $$$.
disgusts me.
sorry.

Has anybody gotten a response... They are taking too damn long

I've got a response, but the simpletons want me to provide the details of the hacker's account to reestablish the link (which they say will also make me lose access to the games I had previously purchased). I'm still fighting with them, but it's been three weeks now and it just keeps going around and around. I've tried the live chat too, but they won't help you for this issue with live chat.
Infinite Jul 14, 2023 @ 11:32am 
I dont understand how hacker can so easly acess our account, this doesnt seem safe at all, anyone can explain ?

This happened to me today after buying RDR2 on sale earlier this week. I knew it was serious when I read here and on the web that I was not the only one. I created a support ticket but after reading around I figured Rockstar will never respond on time to so I kept on researching.

I found this reddit post from 2 years ago that allowed me to recover my account in under 10 minutes, dude's a lifesaver. https://www.reddit.com/r/rockstar/comments/pc5q2h/rockstar_account_hacked_and_email_changed_read/

After following the steps in the link I added 2 factor authentication for another layer of security since Rockstar's cybersecurity systems are sh*t!
Silhouette Jul 14, 2023 @ 12:36pm 
Yeah, 2 Factor Authentication sounds like a MUST now. o_o

I have the same question as Pinstripe Potoroo, how are cheaters/hackers suddenly able to easily steal other people’s accounts? @_@

Have hackers found a security-vulnerability that just gives them the ability to change the email address tied to other player’s accounts?

yeah, that is a problem with rockstar. not on the user end.
their system is compromised.
everything is if you didnt know.
if you'd like i can send you every single thing i know.
cause i think most people don't know how comp'd everything is today.
all of this is out in the open. there is no secure chip anymore.
even if you have a computer that is offline. never once connected to internet.
the data can still be pulled from it.

Without actual physical access? Maybe you can explain how that happens . . .

sure. enjoy. its safe. click on it ;) its a quick rundown thats researchable and catered for normies.
https://streamable.com/qiy2dr

satellites, bluetooth, cellphone towers. radio waves. aircraft. drive bys. camping.
the power grid, literally the telephone poles outside. electromagnetic frequency signals. voltmeters, smartphone accelerometers, heat emissions of your computer. literally the heat coming of your pc is hackable. ultrasound technologies. to penetrate deep into ground or through solid metals. so even if you bury your offline computer and put earth and metal on it they can still hit it that way also.

there is so much. this isnt even a droplet in a bucket of what it is possible right now.
every chip is backdoored by default for nsa, us gov intel, mi6, mossad, all sorts
all of them can access your devices at any time. and even if you go pure offline.
the data is still pulled, its built into all of your computers you use right now.
every keystroke you ever do, anything you say near your computer. etc.

and with wireless. they have 3dmapped entirety of all of your surroundings and you inside your home without any computer or camera, it is mapped off the waves.
with amazing clarity. and your cellphones do this also.

the people they are afraid of the most, are the ones they cant see and hear.
so they really dont care if you pump it to futanari or yaoi or homothugs.
they really dont care. cause they already know you.

many years ago my family was sitting in the living room when flat screens were new.
thin televisions. probably... 15 years ago.
and my little brothers were flipping them channels.
and then they were on the television. and my little brother says "WTF!?!"
and it changed back to a normal tv channel and there was no "camera" advertised for these. it was just a television.
they can watch you in your house with the infrared from your cable box for the clicker.
all sorts of interesting little things.

they can even take 1st gen ipods and use them as speakers and program them remotely.
they can go through your song library on a gen 1 and form sentences and play them through your ipod. using your favorite songs to talk to you.

there is alot of funny things in the hacker world.

sometimes i will just be sitting here late at night doing a deepdive or putting something people need to know on blast.
and my qt pie special agent will accidentally let me know. like forgetting theyre on my pc.
love you <3 you incompetent sweetheart.

i'm hacked right now. and so is every single person reading this.
alllll these steam people. are comped.
dont matter if youre on apple, windows, linux, unix, it doesnt matter. temple os lol
it is all COMPED! have fun ;)

you can buy many devices yourself and just go on youtube.
and start pulling your neighbors stuff. most dont cost more than $200-5k
even amazon sells flipper zeros that can be used to do many things.
https://flipperzero.one/

edit.
also even your modern computer monitor is a microphone and camera if they want to.
your speakers are microphones. if you go anonymously, your typing habit and kpms and how you type can be used to identify you because it is very unique like a fingerprint.
also with the vaccines, some did get programmable doses. there is nanobot technologies and they can program your body to do whatever they want.
they can heal with it or bloom you full of cancer if they want to.
and it runs on your wifi and your cell towers and satellite communications even your cellphone.

we pretty much live in hell when you realize the vast scope of what is happening.
they can make you have dreams while you sleep and set the theme.
is that a random catchy tune in your head? or is a radio wave?
people that got plates in their heads used to have that problem.
they can control what you think and how you feel. they can make you sick.
they can shatter your dna. all with computers and technologies that are outside and inside yourself.

and the scary part is. theres more.
want to know more?
also all of this is civilian level knowledge.
and has been made and done and demonstrated and proven in civilian sector.
the military and intel sectors are much further ahead.
they say at least 50+ years ahead pretty much always.
i have no idea the full capabilities of it all, but all that i said is findable if you know how to look for it.
google,youtube etc is very censored level of internet.
they used to be good. but that are compromised also and try very hard to conceal information nowadays.

and if anyone says "no" theyre retarded, a shill, or a fed.
all of this is real.

if you gave me a month i could probably unlock the entire spectrum and demonstrate all of it for you. and show you this stuff is all real.

You have to be lucky if that hacker didn't change your password cause in my case he did
