    [HELP] RuneScape - Phisher

    Well today when I went to runescape.com I found that the homepage said Runescape Classic - Open for Non Members and then I noticed that 14 players where playing and an out dated banner. I knew right away it was a phishing site but the address said www.runescape.com, I tried googleing runescape but the same thing happened and when I try to go to the ge from the website it would tell me to enter user name and pass lol.

    Any help please? :confused: :confused:

    run a virus scan, it can be a backdoor.rsbot (it some program that downloads stuff to your comp and changes setting's). Gl, hope your comp don't die.

    Yeah I agree with terrif. Wierd... I was on an av site once and it said a site is probably legit if it has http:// at the beginning of the url, if it was someone's Ip, you're pretty much screwed. Good look :)

    Okay no matter what you do, do not enter your password or username...
    It's clearly a phisher site :p
    Reason #1 - Runescape is open in 3 different languages now :)
    Reason #2 - My RsBot would have been outdated if a new update was made :D LOL
    Reason #3 - When I went to the Runescape Home Page there was no update and instead of 2 languages in the corner there were 3 :)

    That page is used in about 80% of all Trojans, so you probably got a Trojan that fucked around with IE's Settings. Download a different browser like Opera (google it) and then see if it happens again.

    Something might be wrong with your computer or somebody sent you a link of a phisher site with some kind of back door to it that leads you to a different site but with the same URL as Runescape...
    Try clicking some other buttons on the site to check if it's a phisher site...
    I already gave my reasons and told you that it is a phisher site but no matter what you do, do not enter your account information.

    Edit : What ever I wrote here might just be wrong and looking at vlad's post, RUN A VIRUS SCAN!

    Go to, windows, system 32, drivers, ect, and open hosts.file and see if there is runescape on that list. if there is delete the entire line that it is on... may be it... o_O

    From what i can tell this is a redirection file, and you most likely downloaded a runescape app that was Execution file type. I would recommend running a HiJackthis and going from there.
