This reminds me about how somebody hacked into my relative's runscape account once. Not even sure what you get out of hacking a runescape account but the guy logged in after like years of not having been on and when he contacted support trying to login, the system told him his account had been locked due to suspicious activity. Again, no idea what goes on in those circles but it did color me pink.
