Perhaps it would be a good idea to tell us which mods had a .dll loaded into them yesterday.

 

As for password/email changes, I'll wait until we have more information, any attempt to do that right now would be useless if Nexus is indeed breached.

I agree with not changing the email, but a password change as described by Dark0ne for those who didnt use "special characters" is not a bad idea, it will slow the hackers down. It may not stop them, but it will give them a headache trying to hack them.

Of course, in that case it wouldn't be a bad idea to change the password.

In general however I'd be more worried about other websites that someone might use the same password on. Just presume they got into our accounts on the Nexus and that they have the capability to continue doing so, even after a password change. Edited by Eolath

Thats true Eolath, you can try and try to tell people not to use the same password for all accounts, but that doesnt always work. I have the luxuary of being at home, so I keep a log of all my passwords and I change them at least once a month. But even then, if hackers get into the sites data base, with the proper programs and equipment, no one is 100% safe. Its just part of being in the technical age we live in.
