This is hella random, so it may be nothing.

I used to have a main that I botted for years on (in the hayday of botting) that was almost maxed. It got banned around the big bot bust.

Anyways, I decided to try and log in today to see what happens (just because I was bored and I wanted to see if there were any details of it in the system). Of course I didn't remember the password so I recovered it via email. I then changed the password, and again went to login. However, when I logged in, it asked me for my 6 digit authenticator code. This seems very new to me, and I know for a fact they didn't have this (or at least I didn't add it) back when I had my account. Of course I don't know the code, and did not see an option to disable it.

 

Is this normal, or is something else/fishy going on? Haven't tried to play in years so have no idea whats up with rs3. Does this happen for all the banned accounts? Would laugh if someone stole my account and it got unbanned haha

@MomYeah someone probably hijacked your account from a database leak.

Sheesh, you know anyway I can get it back or even confirm it's unbanned? In my password recovery email it said "Character Name Unavailable, we have received a request to reset the password for your RuneScape and Old School RuneScape account"

 

The character name part sounded interesting to me

I'd rather have that bitch banned than in someone else's hands lmaoo 

 

I'ma just do an account recovery request fuck it.

@Mom They probably reset your name or something. You should be able to get the authenticator removed as well as a bank pin if there's one.

Yoooo I got this shit back ahahha. This shit was perma banned. 100p botted. No idea how it got unbanned, I didn't even try.

 

All they did was shave off a couple levels

pog give us some more info? was this the hijacked account or is this just a random unbanned account?

This was the hijacked account.

 

At least I am 99% sure it was hijacked. I have no idea what I was last doing when I last botted years ago (right before it got banned), but there are things in the bank/inventory that I have never seen before. Also the equipment looks like something I would never use on my scripts. The authenticator is the real reason why I'm almost certain it was highjacked. The very strange thing though... the bank pin was the same bank pin I had in the past.

Welp I havent logged into rs3 since I was banned (around when the actionbar was introduced)... I can see why they don't care about unbanning people now lmao. Shit dead af

Usually when someone cracks these accounts and then use them for botting since no one would ever buy a cracked account without any details since it can be recovered by og owner. So since someone pretty sure botted your account at some point it is banned again most likely

And no fishy activities done on the account?

your acc got hacked, sold offf as a cracked acc and botted

This makes me hopeful for my 1800+ iron that was banned but it was only banned a year and a half ago. I never botted but I did mouseclicker some NMZ and got the ban hammer
