Potential Database Breach

[BellChell1234]

Don't be upset. I still trust your website, and will continue to always download my mods from here. I can't imagine how much work goes into just keeping it afloat, let alone safe.

[HextarVigar]

Yes, because there's ALL SORTS of important things here. God forbid someone access my dummy e-mail address that I use only to create accounts with AND NOTHING ELSE and download mods under my name or something.

I swear, for every considerate human being that uses any kind of social outlet online, there is a substantially larger group that (VERY unfortunately) adds to your ranks... sickening.

Strangely, I'm not bothered by what piotrmil wrote at all, he's just being honest. The "positive comments only!" police will just have to deal with it I guess.

Well I certainly didn't post anything along the lines of "all super positive". However the comment from piotrmil wasn't honest, it was quite a personal dig - and rude as hell. Anyway who cares, obviously he is just a troll/keyboard warrior and probably not raised properly by his parents. One of the new "tv raised" generation aka "the lazy generation that think the world owes them something".

Or they can use the acc of a highly downloaded mod and put a virus instead of the mod and know you have a virus ;)

OP updated to include that information.

Thanks for the update...

Any news on synlSDLL.dll? This file and some program triggered my UAC and installed a touchpad service without me having such hardware. I don't know if the program acted as though it was a touchpad and thus my pc needed to install this service or if the actual file was a virus...once I uninstalled everything, no virus was found on my pc.

I have since cleaned my system, but it was a little difficult as the program would not uninstall by normal means aka control panel.

Very odd, but I am glad you are getting this under control.

Just tried to change my password as suggested, but sadly, the password-change webform doesn't work. Although it alleges that I can skip one or the other of the two sections (email and password), in actual fact when I completed only the old and new password fields and clicked Submit (or whatever) I got a red error bar at the top saying that I must complete the entire form. :mad:

 

I do not want to complete the entire form and be subjected to the verification process again, because so many email providers (including mine) block Nexus emails. I just want to change my password.

 

Does anyone know how I can change only my password without having to "fill out the entire form" (apparently, including the email-change section) as the instructions say that I should be able to do?

Lets just hope it is just FO4 mods being affected. Thousands upon thousands could be affected if they touch Skyrim, Oblivion, and many of the other games Nexus hosts.

But alas, only time will tell. Thank you for taking the time to preemptively warn us.

Get another email provider.

If you bypass email verification then just anyone who hacks into an account can change the password. In short, nobody should be allowed to change password, or email or other important identity-related settings without some form of independent verification whether by email, telephone, face to face, etc.

This is why God created the anti-virus program.
