Hi guys,
I just fell for a YouTube phishing scam on the 17th of November. I have since had my computer wiped clean by professionals including all my files, apps, downloads, everything just to be safe (twice) after being hacked the first time and the hacker is still getting into my account. After the second wipe of all my files and applications (everything) I have changed every single password I have for every email, changed my RS passwords, I have had two-step authentification on since the first hack, had the computer place I went to install AVAST full protection as well as a VPN and they are STILL getting in and wiping me clean of all my items and gold. There is no possible way I can imagine this is happening, and I really really need help. Please please help. Hi Jt039,
I'm very sorry this happened to you.
Please remember to set a bank PIN using a set of numbers that aren't related to you in any possible way e.g. birth dates or recent passwords.
When you say you fell for a phishing scam, and they're still gaining access to your account after changing passwords, it would indicate they have linked a social network login e.g. Google,Facebook, Steam to your RS account.
A linked account allows them to bypass authenticator and password, as linked accounts uses a different login method.
Head into Account management -> Linked accounts, and unlink the linked account in there.
If there's no linked account and the hijackings continue, I would contact the professionals again as this might be more complex malware.
If there's no linked account but the hijackings stop, I would assume the hijacker realised there's nothing more to harvest, and so, they unlinked their login from your account.
More tips on security at: Securing your account Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !

I dont know what irritates me more. That people try to scam/phish/hack on this shit, dead, RNG, Pay2win, Harassment, filled mmo. Or that people actually FALL for these scams have some common sense, nobody is going to give you anything for free, and if they are going to give you something for free they are going to do it right then and there.
OSRS - Filled with harassers sad...~
