I cant believe i have to write this but OSRS failed me and my friends today and its so gut-wrenching.

Long story short we all use 2FA security measures and while we all play on and off one of our members taking a break logged in and noticed he was outside the CG with 99 range and mage and also 1500 kc which he only got 350 after getting his BOWFA. He was the only one in our group who used jagex downloaded launcher and his account was the one that got hijacked. They disabled his bank pin and got onto his account... after the bank pin was reset they had access to our group storage and took everything.

-Dragon hunter lance, Kodai, ACB, 2 twisted bucklers, arma plate skirt, pegasian boots, neitz faceguard, ahrims and the list goes on.

We have been playing for 5+ years and we always used 2FA security , etc.



This breaks my heart because we have spent countless hours leveling our ironmen up and obtaining these items just for the 2FA to fail and his account got hijacked which allowed access to our storage and now we lost everything because of the games security failure. I have little faith that jagex will get in contact to reverse this for us... Its just such a shame because I've spent nearly 200 days on this account and the idea of starting again just to have a risk of losing it all to this isnt worth coming back and starting again. Has anyone else had this happened to them? Id like to see if its more common since the launcher came out

GIM has all kinds of problems since they are sharing their stuff. I have seen plenty of complaints about group leaders disappearing after taking everything, scamming, cheating.

GIM members getting hacked is no different than the other problem when it comes to sharing banks. I always hate players sharing banks, and I believe Jagex was adamantly against this before GIM. Well, when they released GIM, they should know they would have to deal with all kinds of problems regarding shared banks.

So be prepared someday, something wrong like this will happen to your GIM, if you choose to play one. Volenti non fit injuria!
