Thank you for taking the time to read this.

NOTE: Technically I don't need a recovery, just an unban. I am in complete control of the password, email, 2FA, etc.

About 1 hour 30 minutes ago, I received a notification through PM and noticed someone was trying to buy/sell gold on my account. They were able to contact two people before I noticed and immediately changed the password and enabled 2Fa. I quickly PMed Excelont and notified him that my account was compromised. My account is banned at the moment as a precaution.

Despite the fact none of my RS accounts or emails were compromised, I reformatted my PC. My password was extremely simple which leads me to believe someone was able to brute force or guess my password.

If you are able to check IPs, you will be able to confirm that I am indeed the owner of the account. I have family based in Canada and Australia, so you might see some overlapping, but anything outside of those two countries is not me. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.



Here's a virus scan I just ran:

 

Unbanned, closed.
