Email Extortion Scam using old Nexusmods password


JRC000

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I received an email which included by old nexusmods password and requested a payment of $900 in bitcoin to avoid all my data being published on the internet. I don't know if the investigation into the Nexusmods hack is ongoing but I can supply the original scam email if it would assist?

Anyone with an account before 2013 was a part of the database leak. As your account was made in 2012 your account will have been a part of this leak. I know many people have received these emails and you can safely ignore them.

I got those for a while. My spam filter caught them. I read one, deleted the email address it was coming to (I have my own domain) and forgot about it.

Do they have a username and site to go with it? If they did it'd be worthless anyway as by now those of us affected by the breach should have changed passwords long ago.

I only used that password here (long since changed) so it won't get them anywhere, IMO.
