Some of you may be aware, and some of you may not, but Tip.It's site was compromised by hackers late last night. Access to the site isn't back yet, but anyone with an account their is advised to change the password to their email listed with their Tip.It account (if you have one listed.) There were no viruses planted or anything and passwords are encrypted for the website, so don't fret about that. It's simply a precautionary measure, don't lose any sleep over it, as server control has been returned to the Tip.It admins.
The way the hackers presented themselves was also very childish, and they tried to claim credit for hacking JaGex mod accounts. This is likely just a little publicity stunt, so as I said, don't lost sleep over it, but I once again advise you to precautionarily change passwords to email accounts listed on Tip.it as well as your Runescape account.
Thanks you.
EDIT: I've just heard the RuneHQ is experiencing a hack as well, idk if it's true, but some Runescape fansite trolls are going around it seems. Just be wary, those who have accounts on such sites.
EDIT2: Another update on Tip.It, it'll probably be a week or so before the site is fully functional again.
