During a stream I tried logging in using the directlogin command which showed my password in the console which I didn't know, I forgot to change my pass and delete the stream because it ended up being quite late and I was tired.
Someone saw that, logged into the account page, changed my name and posted something weird on the forums, and then he logged into the companion chat app and joined a few friendchats to spam with gold websites.
My account apparently got locked really quick and I woke up the next day to that.
Because I had JAG and 2 Step enabled on my mail the hacker couldn't log in the game and take anything out of my bank.
So a heads up for you guys, be sure to have an email with 2 step connected to your rs account along with JAG.
