In response to post #75850513. #75851898, #75852638, #75853293 are all replies on the same post. They're not storing passwords in plain text (thank god!) according to above news article passwords are hashed and salted, as they should be. This stuff happens all the time, but when it happens it's best to communicate loud and clearly. I can understand people being annoyed by that and the recent change to downloads, no excuse for being rude though.

In response to post #75850513. Solid advice, but I disagree with your point on not notifying people by email. Your password does not have to be the same as your e-mail account, getting your Nexus account details leaked != getting your e-mail hacked. The point is that Nexus should've taken action ASAP & be clear, so don't share you've got breached two months afterwards with a shitty tiny news item tucked away somewhere. If you even suspect password hashes have been stolen, why not immediately try to notify as many of your users? Only a matter of time before those hashes are resolved to an actual password. What's the harm in sending an e-mail anyway? Users may or may not see it, but at least a lot more people will see it then over here.

Please send an e-mail to users, instead of hiding it away in the news tab here where a lot of people that have an account will miss it. I myself found out on reddit instead of here.
