My account has been hacked,
I just played and then the internet crashed for half a day
When the internet came back I could not log in to the account so I immediately changed the passwords (email and runescape)
When I log in today I saw that most of my bank was gone
I think the internet crash was a coincidence**
Can you please restore it to 9/07/2021 my ign is yoyoto5678
(it will be nice if you can see what what happened in the 10/07)
Thanks Hey,
I'm sorry to hear this happened to you.
As your internet crashed, one can assume you had the same day participated in one of those bond/money/item/pmod giveaways which are all fake, phishing scams! It could also be your device is infected. I've left some support guides below, but it's extra important that you use authenticator for both email and RS, and have a good awareness of phishing.

Securing your account
How your account could become insecure 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 !

This is a great thread, thanks for providing this for folks who need some awareness.
Another new step in improving account security would be to add in a password manager to the mix. Creating complex passwords without re-using them will make it much more difficult for attackers to gain entry to your accounts, especially in events of email leaks. I have two products to recommend if anyone is interested in trying out! There are also more services out there that perform similar tasks, pick whichever one suits your needs and you'll never have to worry about remembering passwords
-1 Password (Paid Service)
- Bitwarden (Free and open-source)
