I wanted to pass on a WARNING to all clans!
There is a hijacker that has been sending an unknown file/link to people via Skype saying it is a screen shot or meme etc and after being clicked it automatically downloads something onto their computer that isn't shown in the recent downloads. The hijacker then takes over their Skype, email, and by-passes the authenticator into their RuneScape account and starts asking people on their friends list for Skype information so they can try and send those people the same file/link, in addition to sending it to all the contacts on the Skype account after starting a friendly short conversation.
It has already happened to 4 people, that I am aware of, in the last 3 days including my clan and 2 other clans and I've been playing crowd control to stop it from happening to the rest of my clan and guests since I keep getting pm's about the suspicious file/link being sent to them via Skype.
Please do NOT click anything unknown on Skype even from a friend or family member's account!
It seems like common sense, but how many of us actually give a second thought to something our friend/family sends us before clicking to see what it is. Don't be afraid to talk with the person and ask what it is because the hijacker doesn't even attempt to fully imitate the person they hijacked, they just initiate conversation long enough to to sound excited to send it and make you interested in clicking it.
Luckily Jagex has been great at recovering RuneScape accounts and Bank Pins have been protecting everything they are supposed to protect, minus any items on your character during forced take over rip, but we have yet to recover any of the Skype accounts that have been hijacked and they are still rouge sending the file/link to people faster than we have been able to notify everyone.
Please mention this in clan chat.
