True, but it's a lot harder to do it discretely here, and get away with it.

Gold4rs owns powerbot right? Maybe they have involved in this somehow... And now selling the gold.
I'd say it's just as easy if not easier here, as you can pretty easily hide stuff in scripts. It wouldn't be on the scale as it happened on rsbot, unless someone distributed their own version of simba, but code can be hidden in scripts quite easily. Especially since it'd only take up one line.
(Not that you can't hide things in java scripts, but people are generally trusted here so people won't be as cautious.)
:p People trusted people who did this in the past but it still happened.
All I'm saying is that it's not like this is rsbot's fault or anything, it's quite an easy thing to do, hacking that is.
I suppose the only safe scripts are user-made then. Our usernames and passwords are stored within the script itself (with the exception of MSI I believe?). I've always been a fan of creating my own scripts and using them, as opposed to other's work for this reason especially. Just take a good look at a script before you use it, it could mean all the difference.
I'd be more worried about MSI tbh, since so many people have access to it and so the chances are higher that one of them would get hacked and someone would do bad things with the access they now have.
