I noticed someone logging into my account and purchasing around 50 bonds with a stolen credit card. I believe he give the gold to his own account (after selling the bonds in GE).

The first thing I advise you to do is secure your device, and then your account. Run a malware scan on your computer to see if there is any unauthorised third-party software that remains on your device and steals information from you, such as your typing.
Following this and ensuring that your device is safe, you should read through the
Security tips
Support page on methods to secure your account, preventing any hijackers from once again gaining access to your account. Be sure to ensure that there are no 'Linked Accounts' on your RuneScape Account, as this is a common method of hijackers logging into compromised accounts.
If you want to see if they are any linked accounts that were not added by you, please follow the steps below and appropriately remove them if they are not recognized:
1. Go to the yellow/orange "
My Account
" or "Account" link at the top right corner of your computer screen:

4. Click on "Manage Steam". Since I don't have any linked accounts, it says "Link" for me, as represented above with Google, Apple and Facebook and by the image below for Steam and Amazon:
5. If you do recognize the linked account(s), ensure that they are completely secured by following the instructions on the
