Hey everyone, here’s an update on my situation since my last post about my OSRS account being hacked and turned into a bot. In summary, I recently returned to the game and did not know about Jagex accounts. It seems that the hacker exploited a databreach to recover the account information and imported it to his own Jagex account.
Unfortunately, I still haven’t been able to recover the account. The hijacker has been running rampant on it, and they’ve botted over 5,000,000 XP so far, mostly thieving. It’s devastating to see my childhood RS2 and Classic Account turned into a botfarm suicide bot.
I’ve submitted a recovery request to Jagex with as much detail as possible, including proof that I’m the original owner and a description of what’s been happening as well as filled out a TIPOFF email for the bot busting team. I’m just waiting now and hoping they’ll take action soon. I also reversed the latest membership charge to hopefully “lock the account” in a state until I can recover it.
If anyone has advice on how to speed up the recovery process or deal with Jagex Support more effectively, I’d really appreciate it. I feel completely helpless right now.
Thanks for all the support and advice on my previous post. It’s been a rough experience, but your comments have helped me stay hopeful. I’ll keep you updated as things progress.
