    Hey Arbiter, when I got on RM earlier today I was promted to reset my password on the website and now I've opened the RM client again to do some more botting a few hours later and all my accounts were cleared from RM client.
    Just wondering if this is a precausion for every RM account or was I targetted by the hijacker?

    Can confirm this is the IP used to hack my account, which I mentioned in another thread.

    I can't stress enough the importance of Two-Step Verification. It takes two seconds to set it up and will make hijacking virtually impossible.

    This was a precaution implemented for everyone.

    Perhaps you should consider forcing tfa to prevent issues like this arising in the future. If users don't have a smart phone you can have the codes sent to email or via sms cant you?

    I would love to, but I don't think everyone is ready to embrace Two Step. There's no rational reason not to, but people are weird like that...

    The fear was real. Glad everything was resolved peacefully though. Props to Arbi for the mercy.

    You're still crazy if you use the same password for everything.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm sorry for calling you guys out for hacking me, for a second it really looked like the only solution. I have never been hacked before on anything and it did really scare me. I even re-installed my windows and changed all my passwords.

    Yeah i also lost gold on all my accounts and they even deleted my all of my runescape accounts of runemate. I feel dumb but i'm also a bit pissed

    Also enabled two step verifaction. Already did that for my main RS account but didn't do it for RM. Dumb dumb dumb

    Actually @Arbiter or @Cloud cleared the accounts from runemate. they do this as a security precaution anytime something like this happens. Arbiter even said that somewhere in these 2 pages.
