Resolved Alt account was just hacked and RuneMate is the only suspect

I guess you should start looking for more options other than RuneMate, because I can tell you it wasn't RuneMate.

 

I love topics like these... *pukes*

Honestly mate, there's no point in even posting this thread. Think about it.

If they stole your money (you would be the first one to have ever reported it), do you think they think it's worth hacking an account that has not even 40$ of items on it in relation to the trustworthiness of RuneMate? I doubt it.

And secondly, if they didn't (the obvious answer), you're only damaging reputation with ungrounded accusations. Your post only raises doubt by people that isn't good for anything.

I would like to tell you to think about your actions next time you're on the verge of posting something similar like this, because it isn't good for anything.

Maybe it's those "free" virus scanners?

 

The fact of the matter is that your measly account isn't worth jeopardizing a business over, that and I'm relatively confident that the client stores login data locally much like every other client.
You don't need to download anything big or official to get a keylogger, typically keyloggers will log the active window alongside your keystrokes so they have some context as to what the information can be used for.

And I severely doubt someone is performing a large scale scam simply because you are the only person to have said anything. These kinds of claim are actually rather common on botting websites, typically the user is either trying to sabotage the reputation of a client or simply was compromised as they downloaded shady software.

 

Scriptwriters can not access account details. Every update we make to our bots and are personally reviewed by either Cloud or Arbiter. There's no chance any malicious code gets through.

And I'm not sure how account details are saved, but I do know they're held online so they synchronise with all your device where you log in with your account. This means if anyone has access to your forum account, they can also get your passwords and pin details. (TWO STEP VERIFICATION IS IMPORTANT.)

Honestly, I'm 99% sure that you are the reason you had your account hijacked, as there's simply no benefit from the developer/owner point of view to put the value of the name RuneMate on the line for barely 40$.

 

Sorry but just piss off bro

 

I don't think you can blame RM when you don't even have Authenticator enabled on your account. I've used these guys since RM was released, even before version 1.0 and I've never had any issues.

 

It wasn't Runemate....... might wanna get your computer further inspected

 

He probably followed the link to the "100mil giveaway" scam. The "forum" link they post is just a phishing version of RuneScape's website.

 

Dude. Delete system32

 

yep. blindly following phishing links are nothing your av would detect when searching for viruses on your computer

 

Delete your mind (or the rest of it).

Everything you download you need to scan at VirusTotal.
You think there isnt any trojan/keylogger on your computer, but sometimes, yeah, they're just hidin' and stealing your shit.
Mimimi is real.

 

Most hacks do not come from viruses of malicious software, think about anywhere you used the same email address and password, more likely though, think of any friends who know the account username.

It's a lot like real hacking. Hackers in the movies and such always "crack a firewall" or some shit, but in real life hacking, it's just a fake email from a friend or the target using the same password for multiple accounts.

Unfortunately, there is no way to 100% without a doubt say that the Admins of Runemate did not steal your gold for an easy 20 bucks. On the other hand, you should consider just who Arbiter is and consider how long he has been on the botting scene without incident and in the long run would that $20 be worth any tarnish to his reputation.

Again, don't bother with the virus scan, you would be better off spending your time looking through your usernames and passwords of other websites on which you used the same username and password as the account that was hacked. Unless you are using IE, in which case, Chrome or Fire Fox up.

 

If you're looking for a reason- I'd read Exia's post. It is very accurate, most hacking these days are involve the least intrusive methods you could imagine. Simply talking to someone online or even real life could help reveal information surrounding your password.
