Quick find code: 14-15-106-62560262 on Runescape

Hi everybody,

You may be aware that a player with a considerable amount of in-game wealth was hijacked recently. We don’t want to invade that player’s privacy by naming names, but we understand that this topic is raising a lot of discussion among the community.

As soon as we became aware of the situation we acted quickly banning the hijacker’s accounts as well as removing any items & wealth stolen.



Unauthorised access to online accounts whether it is your bank account or your RuneScape account is a criminal offence, it is illegal in the UK under the Computer Misuse Act 1990, and the USA’s Computer Fraud and Abuse Act 1986 as well as equivalent legislation in many other countries around the world. Jagex have already successfully pursued a RuneScape hijacker in the UK using the above law. You can read about it on the BBC news website here.

We want to send a clear message that hijacking is not clever and will not do you any favours, it is an illegal act and we regularly send information onto local law enforcement agencies.



Currently we do not return lost/stolen items. This is why it is so important to make sure your account is as secure as possible.

Make sure you do the following;



1. Set a Bank Pin. This will help protect your items if the worst happens and somebody accesses your account.
2. Set a Email Address to your account to help recover your account and secure it from others trying to gain access to it.
3. Choose tough Passwords that aren’t easy to guess or very common.
4. Don’t input your Username/Password into other websites! The only website you should use your RuneScape Username/Password for is the main RuneScape website.

If i lost that 200b, I'd throw myself out of a window.
Not over pixels; but over $200k

 

WOW that really blows lol

 

Omfg..

So much money! >.<

WANT~

 

lmao, fuuuuuny

 

id prolly find the last i.p it logged from find the address it comes from and go back there beat the shit out of the guy and have him log onto his account and trade all back to me and then when im done with that id sell it all and lock down my paypal

 

wow that sucks if its true

 

I'd commit.
And as iJohnny said, not over 200b, over $200,000.

 

If I lost 200B, that'd probably tell me I need to go get a life and stop being an ugly RS geek girl.

 

Would love to know what she is thinking/doing right now, when you look at the RL side of things, having around $200k you would be throwing up inside.

 

Feels bad man.

 

gp = .65/mil (Instant sell)
So it's not over 200k.

 

Wait, did she really get hacked? I don't keep up with her, I just know she's rich as fuck.

 

Lol that pic reminds me of dragonball z.
yeah i would be pissed off to pieces probably do something stupid since I could get my dream custom Nissan Skyline I always wanted for under $150k which is what would complete my life lol.

Some experienced dude with a little help recovered her account since she did quit and it was inactive. I dont know if you can call that hacking though

wonder if she even knows about this x.x

 

Oh dear

That would depress me irl

 

I'd file charges at that point.

 

You're retarded

This all happened because Jagex is retarded.

 

Wow. These fags (jagex) brag about their "highly accurate and successful" recovery system, and now these dumbfucks are responsible for the biggest loss in RS history.

 

They made recovering way to easy lol.

 

People who recovered her account are complete morons, and just lost 200K themselves. If I recovered a 170B account, I'd never tell a soul, and wouldn't boast about it either.
