How to report hackers on Runescape?

Asked by College_girl (917points) January 15th, 2012

So my Runescape account was hacked. I’m not sure how because no one knows my info to it but me. I have an idea of who it might be, but how do I report them?

I believe there’s a contact link somewhere on the support site. If you can tell them your original password as proof that you really own the account they’ll probably give it back to you.

I hope you have set a bank pin, so even if the hackers got your account, they can’t empty your bank.

I didnt have one. I have one now though. Like Jagex will give me my stuff back?

No. That, they won’t do. Giving people their stolen stuff back will upset the in-game economy. They wouldn’t even do that for the victims of the Falador massacre :-(

so what do you mean if i give them my original pass they will give it back to me? I have to account and changed all the info

I don’t understand your second sentence.

Anyway, if you still know your first password that you created the account with, you can use that to prove to them that the account was created by you.

Sorry I mean I have they account. Why would I prove to them that it was mine? What good will that do?

Now I don’t understand your first sentence. Relax :) It’s only a game :)

Now, if you give them your original password as proof that you created the account, they’ll change the password and give it back to you.

lol I am calm and yeah I know it’s just a game. It’s just really annoying. It wasn’t a matter of not getting on to my account. They didn’t change the password.

HungryGuy's avatar

The hackers didn’t change the password? Then go quick change it! Also change your password recovery questions!

I’m not a big fan of password recovery questions. Too often, they give hackers enough clues to guess your password.

But sorry, your loot is gone if they emptied your bank…
