Is Jagex breaking data protection laws?

[Drunken]

Some person got this while loading Runescape after the nuke:

And jagex seem to know that some people have the Nexus iBot installed:

"We have strong evidence that you may have purchased and used botting software in the past, specifically ibot software. "

source

So are they sending those emails on random, gotten user email list from iBot or some other way, or how do they know that user has iBot? Do they have access to our files and are checking what we have installed, without us agreeing to any TOS that says so?

 

[deadly serious]

They have a list of our emails on our accounts and they're probably cross referencing them with botting websites.

 

[Lured Yah]

he probably just visited a ratting site..

According to some guy on the RSOF, they managed to get PayPal to cough up the details of most of the poeple that bought particular bots.

Impossible that would land paypal in huge trouble the only ones that can do something like that legally is governments.

Pfft, 3rd party hearsay. Guy probably downloaded a keylogger and those ibot emails don't come from the usual Jagex address either

 

[Foxichu]

Kabal, JaGex confirmed the E-Mails on the official forums.

 

[Kabal]

Can someone throw up some links when they are making claims then please ^

 

[TheBailey]

So these are really from jagex and not from 3rd party phishers/hackers?

 

[Yenthe666]

Haha I knew using 2 / 3 different msn adresses would be great.

 

[carrot1337]

are you sure you didn't click a phishing site / a rat? check your history and actaully scan your runescape if possible.

 

[Zerkerfist]

Wow wtf?? Can somebody post a link to the thread on the Runescape forums where they discuss this?? This is crazy! They must have used emails that were registered for accounts ingame to cross reference those registered on popular botting websites... I can't see PayPal coughing up payment details of people who purchased any bots in the past, that would land PayPal in some major shit.

 

[Gr33n-cArrot]

idk, seems odd.

 

[TheGreatest]

It's legit, check your message centre on runescape.

 

[Droppin' Pl8's]

It's legit but they only have people that use bad scripts which were already caught and emails linked to other botting sites. I believe it was about 3 months ago I was arguing to someone morons on this site about them using the same methods that forums use to find spam to find emails. It would seem I was once again right. I guess intelligence always prevails.

 

[Supremo Emo]

Seems weird , maybe part of their bot nuking I suppose.

 

[Gummy Worm]

You guys know firewalls pickup safe programs by accident all the time right?
lol

Can't be because I got message on one account but not the other. I logged on after the nuke with the account that didn't receive the message.
