Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today we will be going over Runescape Phishing. Now some of you may be wondering what exactly a "phish" is. A phish is a program or Java-drive by that takes the inputed information, whether by force or by user input, and gives it to another person or company. Due to the recent Java Update .23, Java now requires accepting a "contract" saying that you allow Java to do what it is programmed to do, this will help stop phishing as it can no longer execute the code without user approval. A common method for phishing is posting a livestream link and making your domain look like a livestream, the user then clicks the link and IF and only IF the user accepts the java contract then your info is stolen.
To avoid phishers do not click on any links and if a page asks for a java contract check the URL and make sure you are on the right page exactly, as a rule of thumb I would not accept any java contracts except from runescape.com itself.
Thanks for reading,
