If you treated us like Sony did in December of 2012, knowing the problem and denying it for two weeks or more, we'd probably be a lot less kind. There is also this to consider: You told us EXACTLY what, who, when, and how, as soon as you could, and in plain, simple terminology. I (and most likely about 10,000,000 others) appreciate a straightforward answer when there is an issue. But MOST IMPORTANTLY, you are kind and humble about it. If someone was mad at the employees of Nexus after your immaculate behavior, They are clearly not the kind of individual that we should be associated with as a user base. I personally love this site for a myriad of reasons, to explain it would take a ten+ page essay to enumerate all of the reasons why. To be clear though, the biggest reason, THE STAFF TREATS THE USER BASE LIKE PEOPLE. Despite there being 10,000,000 of us, we don't feel like faceless numbers. And that is because you seem to CARE. Don't stop doing that, and this awesome community will probably never devolve. Thank you for being the best you can be.Richard. Quote JZSquared wrote: ^This sums up my feelings exactly.

zentari2238 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hope to hell you stay away from that Authenticator carbage, or at least make it optional. Still remember the stuff I had to go through in order to get back in FF after my phone was stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, it sounds very phishy to me, in that how exactly would/should Amazon know your Nexus site details were leaked?

You can never, ever be too careful regarding your account security at sites you've given credit card info to. Oh, and if you can't log in to Amazon with either the old or new password, then you got phished and someone has taken control of your Amazon acct. Good luck!

Did you format your drive before the reinstall? If not, any virus/malware that was on your PC prior to the install, could still be there. Also, I've been using the Nexus mods site since 2011, and can tell you I've never gotten malware or a virus from this site. Not saying it can't happen, but pointing out that this is a pretty well run and maintained site. But then, I don't click banner ads. If a banner add interests me, I google whatever the ad is about and get to the content that way. Banner ads aren't under the control of the site usually, so they cannot guarantee a banner ad's legitimacy. And as the other poster commented, try run a virus scan, and if you don't have it, download Malwarebytes (you can git it from download'dot'com) and run that as well. In any case, you definitely have a browser hijacker of some sort on your PC. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted1225146User Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I tried to change my password multiple times but when I submit the new password, it sends me to a login form while I'm stilled logged in and doesn't let me change the password. I'm also redirected between secure and unsecure connections and those don't share the session cookie so I end up being logged out. I don't have this problem with any other site but this one so I'm gonna assume that you have more problems than "just" a stolen database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't possibly have millions of active users. Having so many adresses of course makes you a target.Man, and I had wondered about all those recent spam mails I kept getting.This is really the last straw for me, I don't wanna use your site anymore please. And if you moderate away this post I'll be really angry. I hope you realize you have a bad reputation already. Quote Netsplite wrote: If you have gotten recent spam mails from a hack that occurred in 2013 you probably have a different issue.Yeah, a1021, you're not likely getting spam emails from a minor data breach that occurred in 2013. Possible, yes. Likely, not really. Chances are, some site you recently registered with, sold your data and now you're getting spam. And I call BS on your assertion that this site, or those who run it, "...have a bad reputation already." There are always going to be disgruntled peeps, some folks are just naturally that way, but overall, I've seen nothing but positivity from Nexus users in regards to this site.
