Another note on site security, your security, and a malware email doing the rounds

[SalazarDrago]

Very cool, Thanks for the update. Perhaps there is a pattern with who got an email from you telling people to auto update? For instance I never received one so maybe it has to do with a certain file or section of the site only? But I also do not use NMM.

 

 

Did everyone who uses it get an email?

ok, thanks friend i was confused there

@Salizar. Only a small percentage of our users got the email. But it's possible that it was automatically blocked as spam on a lot more. Note that a small percentage of 7 million is still quite a few. :blush:

If anyone has fallen for this by downloading from the outside source, then they shouldn't be allowed to use the interwebs... That's such a duuurrrrr obvious move. But yeah, obviously personal information has been gleaned so bad news...

Well even though this doesn't seem a big problem, I'm really glad that the people of the Nexus are looking out for everyone. Thank you guys for being so awesome, and keep up the good work.

Uh oh, here comes the virus that the NSA warned us about! ( And possibly made! )

 

They said that "We have found a virus that a hacker has released somewhere in America. We have tried our best to hold it off, however we can only manage for a week. It will get all of the e-mail addresses stored on your computer and send the virus to them all.", or soemthing like that.

Please, before you implement SSL make sure you take care of the heartbleed nonsense or this will get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

I second this.

So... is the Nexus safe to log on to? Is it ok to download mods again?
