First time hacked

So this new patch just rolled along, I was playing on my account, merching and stuff and I logg out just before the update, I come back about 20 minutes later and my bank is completely wiped clean.

All I have left is quest items and worthless junk, anyways I'm wondering how the hell I got hacked. I don't visit random ass sites or download anything but maybe a few scripts here and there from this site only.

Well, I'd appreciate any type of tips on how to completely wipe my pc of any malware/keyloggers and all that junk.

For now, GF 50M Cash and items ><


EDIT: To whom it may concern or are looking for answer for how this happened and how you can avoid it

First off, Now that I remember well, I used my name and pass on another computer which is just stupid to be quite honest since you have no idea if the computer has trojans/keyloggers and what not.

ALWAYS Have a pin, might as well make it more difficult for the person hijacking your stuff.

Never carry all your cash on your pouch, which I did and suffered greatly.

Also change your password right away and set recoveries just in case.

Hope this helped some people in any way shape or form, thanks again everyone who gave me tips.

Reformat.
Get an Operating System install cd (or torrent one and make sure it's a legit untouched one) and run it.
Make sure to back everything up!

I'm 99% sure it wasn't an SRL script, we can check through the code of any of the scripts you've used.

Unless he purchased one on Sythe and that user modified it. But still that's still on his end as its open source… -.-

From my experience, Never buy or Try something that is too Beautiful to be TRUE!

Well it's all good, I'll be starting fresh. It's no biggie for me really, I only botted up to 10m then just flipped for a few days, I would've been pissed if the account was taken though.

I'll follow the tips you guys gave me, thanks again.

Sure it was a hack?? Could be that you got reset, check your GE history to see if jagex reset you or the hacker sold your stuff @ ge.

It wasn't a reset, also one thing that is worrying me is that I'm getting pm's from gold sellers which is just messed up, anyone know what's up with that?

Not everyone has a Pin and I am sure he would have been able to get it if you would had one.

Just don't download anything that isn't from this community.
