Runescape exists in the internet as a browser game for a long time. And the game is very popular in real money trading and runscape accounts selling. It’s not surprisingly that a lot of phishing websites dwell in the internet. This guide will be a manual for players who have no idea of securing their accounts.

How do Phishing Websites work on Runescape Accounts?

First of all, what is a phishing website? It’s a website that convincingly tries to imitate the original website of runescape. These websites will immediately ask for your runescape account information. Some hackers use download links for them to be able to send the virus in your computer and steal the account information.

Other Players Utilizing Phishing Website to Hack Runescape Accounts

The main culprits for these phishing websites are also Runescape players. Usually their scheme for luring someone in the phishing site is that they’ll ask the victim to click on a link and they’ll say “Want some free gold? Visit this site and enter your username and password.” It’s a really popular scheme, be sure not to fall for it. And always remember that runescape admins and game masters will not ask for your password as they already know your runescape account information.

Additionally, be careful with websites that don’t correspond with the runescape website. Using search engines will somehow lessen the probability of being led to suspicious websites.

Exploiting “I Forgot Password” Feature of Runescape Accounts

If you’re playing via internet café or playing on a friend’s house, make sure to reset your password through “I forgot password” in the runescape website. It will reset your password and send your new password in your e-mail address. It will be inaccessible to anyone at the moment, but rest assured that your account is safe. And once you’re at home, change to your old password again.

If you think you account is not safe, keep on resetting your password via “forget password” until you are satisfied to your account’s security.

 

This guide doesn’t only work on runescape. It also works on other accounts and account information that is stored in the internet.
