I've had the same thing, but I had just assumed it was a normal ad.

I have had my av going insane over the adds on this site a few weeks ago I had to engage my add blocker for the site. One of the adds kept telling me that I had a potential breach and that I should call a number. I wonder if that is related to this event. I wish I had reported it now.

Well in this case, it's completely the other way around!
If you manually install the mod you would think of putting the dsound.dll in the game's folder, where it *could* be executed by the game's exe thinking it's a legit directx dll.

Since NMM won't install files in the game's root folder, that dll would end up harmless in the Data folder where nothing *should* try to access it. Edited by DuskDweller

And this is why you use an adblocker, always. Yes it's going to hurt the revenue of ad-blocked websites, but ads are the easiest way to get yourself infected with malware, period. Ads don't even require permissions. Regardless of the fact that I would want to support a website, simply by generating 'hits/views', I definitely do not want to see ads, since they can and will eventually contain malware. Even working with 'trusted ad-sources', is not a way to circumvent this, because you only need a single bad advertisement and they can get to all your stuff.

Dear Dark0ne,

 

let me tell you that its possible to login into the nexus with two different passwords for the same account!

 

i was following your heads up and have changed my PW yesterday to a new one, i've counter proofen it today with an other pc with a browser with the old password active for login, and i'm in, not to the forums but at the nexus-website. This is no critic, only a hint that there is something what should not be possible, especially if we all are following your advice to change our passwords.

 

I've send a support request, but got no answer yet, i know you have alot of things todo, aquire some more people to get the things done, but please i beg you, act faster!

 

Best wishes and good luck

Ceares.

hi, you should check your certificates for the change/reset passwords pages. my chrome (mobile) blocked it saying that the pages are pretending to be nexus pages and are unsafe.

 

i have no anti-virus software on my phone, in case you are wondering.

Reported your post, to highlight it to the mods.

"I'm sorry for (potentially, at this point) breaking your trust in us. We'll continue working away at this to get a conclusive answer and, when we do, you'll be the first to know.""

 

It's the fact that the nexus is so open about security and other issues is a reason why my trust in you is still high. Other corporations try to hide things like this and that burns bridges.

 

Good luck with everything.

This, very much this! If you absolutely must enforce password strength, make a password strength indicator that can also recognize that long passwords without numeric or special characters are strong. Don't simply require numeric and special characters. Eventually it will lead to passwords like p@ssw0rd, which doesn't really help much in the long run. I'm pretty sure even mynameisjohn is a much stronger password than p@ssw0rd, because 1337 speak mutations are quite common but AFAIK generating passwords from dictionaries of different languages is not so much.
