Bank Pin Weakness
Quick find code: 317-318-904-66277044
I see what you're saying, but I think if you have an authenticator and bank your items before logging out on top of doing your due diligence of changing security like PW/PIN every other month or so. You should be just fine. Good Idea tho!

There can never be too much security
In all seriousness security concerns like the ones you mentioned are definitely points of concern that assume that someone has already gained access to your account. With the exception of your point about the wilderness since there already is a ditch as well as teleport warnings which have already solved this issue.
It could be good practice to bank your items when you've finished your gameplay for the day as someone mentioned above.
I think one thing Jagex could do is perhaps set a pin-style system up for dropping things based on player input parameters such as the item name or items of a certain value.

Hi Guys,
first, thank you for your positive responses!
To the hint regarding banking items before logging out: yes, I am actually doing this as a habit aswell, but I find it somewhat tedious to always equip everything again when logging in, especially at days off, where I would play multiple times with multiple breaks. So my concern here is more about the QOL of updating this issue.
And no, luckily, in 15 years of playing RS/OSRS with multiple accounts I never got hacked. I always have the highest security standards aswell on my RS Accounts aswell on the related EMail Accounts, but I am very worried about the day this might happen. Over the years I had some ingame friends who suffered huge hacks, clearing billions of worth from their bank or even worse high prestige items from Ironman which can be even more devastating, so I really dont want this to happen to anyone of us.
Have a nice day!
The best way to reduce the chances of all this is to think of security in layers. So bank pin/authenticators active etc.
Outside of this it's worth ensuring the security of the email address in question as well.
The Jagex accounts will bring a lot of security related issues under one umbrella so if you didn't receive an invite to join the beta already, that'll be an option very soon.
