I botted for 99 cooking. Afterwards i fiddled with some firemaking bots. One in which didn't work for shit.

Anyways, after returning home today one of my mates goes "why were you logging in and out all day at work"
(I play mobile on my main)

so after some chatting it came full circle that it was my pure logging in and out.

Sure as shit, go to log in and there's authenticator setup thats not mine.

Anywho, here is where it gets funny.
they drained the account, a whole 600k worth lmao.
and then they ran a bot in lumbridge to buy the food material from the RFD chest.
and because i interrupted it, all 1.5m worth of items were mine.

So too recap. Someone hijacked my password and made me money.

Yes im 100% sure this was from one of 3 bots I used.
No, no friends have or ever will use my accounts.
No, i've never given or said my passwords to anyone.

There is literally no other way. (Unless you're suggesting i was back doored and keylogged)
And im not frustrated at all. In fact the only reason im here is to let you guys know so others don't get attacked.
Regardless no more for me.

Sorry to hear but this wasn't due to RuneMate.

I am posting below the same information I do every time this topic comes up to help clarify the situation:

  • Are you sure you haven't used an easy to guess username/password combination?
  • Or that you're using a combination that has been leaked from an external database breach?
  • Or you downloaded a gold generator or similar program?
  • Clicked on any suspicious URLs from Twitch streams etc?

There is NO way RuneMate would hack you for your gold/items. We would not risk our entire reputation over the small amount of gold/items any user would have.

Furthermore, from the moment you enter your username/password combination in to the client, the information is immediately encrypted and impossible for anyone to read and use.

Bot Authors do not have access to your username or password. The only person who does is YOU.

There have been many accusations of this over the years and almost every single time without fail the user has later determined the fault occurred elsewhere.

Individual bots do not have access to credentials of any sort. In addition, every line of every version of every bot is reviewed by a proprietary scanner for malicious code and manually by a Staff member.

Regarding your computer, I suggest running a scan using Windows Defender and Malware Bytes and taking any recommended actions.


To summarise and make it extremely clear, RuneMate did not hack you and steal your items.
