Careful this game is know to have hackers

[Death7086]

RuneScape is know to have hackers that steal people accounts. I had this happen to me and people think their servers are protected from hackers. They are not and if you dont want your RuneScape account stolen "Don't Play" this game. Hackers don't care who you are once they get your account. it will show how weak there security system is. Just look on YouTube at the number accounts stolen. Me and one friend had our accounted into by a hacker.

So Play at your own risk if you go and play this game.

Any account in any game can be compromised if the account owner hasn't taken all the security steps. Start with enabling the authenticator to your account and a bank pin in-game. Use a separate email for your RS account than other games and other websites. Take the extra minute and add 2-step authentication to your emails. It's worth it. Never share any of your info with anyone.

You can't just steal accounts by being on a game server. The people stealing accounts on runescape usually send you an email that resembles an offical email from jagex and then steals your password by telling you to reset your password(or something similar).

I mean if you get hacked it's all on you. Just remove this post.

First of all i never gave anyone my info only i known the info to my account at the time your just saying i gave my info to people.

1: I dont give my account info to people i dont trust or know
2: Hackers have stolen my friend steam account when they had two step on their account so hackers are learning to by pass most stuff now.

well had not play in like a 1 at the time when i gone back my account was locked and found out. Sometime during that year I did not play someone got into my account I never open gone to the fake RuneScape sites.

There are only a small handful of people that have been actually "hacked" outside of their control due to Mod Jed. Presumably all accounts affected by this were addressed by now though.

The other less-likely method involves old accounts with recovery questions that can easily be found out or guessed. As far as I know, you can't manually get rid of these recovery questions, but you may be able to ask Jagex per a data access request to change or remove them. Jagex may have even got rid of the questions altogether or has a different protocol for handing this nowadays too.

Mostly everyone else falls under the usual:

• Account sharing
  
• Phished (aka providing your details to any random/illegitimate website that asks)
  
• Password re-use (notably with database-breached sites)
  
• Keylogged/RAT
  
• RWT (buying an account from somewhere and the original owner recovering it)

In short, RS is pretty secure nowadays, and I'd even say it goes beyond most games with the bank pin ability (and goes even further in RS3).

18 years I've played this game, never had an account hacked.

Lmao, this has to be a troll post.

Only hack attempt i ever had was some fool whispering me and asking if i want to become a moderator.

Just be smart.
You have password security. Make it a hard one.
You have Jagex account guardian that only lets you log in from recognized devices.
You have a token to add new devices.

If someone got past all that then its your kid brother.
You know i think they even implemented a censor on the word password in game?

[Ryan [SAC]]

yup its true there is a censor now

Sorry but if you could please direct me to ONE game that doesn't have hackers or cheaters, I'd be forever in your debt.
