The worst I have seen and its from the earlier breech years ago is scam emails trying to convince me they have access to the non existent camera on my PC demanding I pay them not to "share" the alleged video they collected with those on my contacts list.

Since my PC never had a camera and I never did what they claim is in the video on top of using a password not used in nearly a decade as their proof I just forward those to the government email for investigating such criminal activities.

In the US that is [email protected] (forward phishing emails) other countries will have something similar.

Bad security practices on your part is why your gmail account was compromised. This isn't Nexus' fault.

totally uncalled for. if you want to be safe unplug and go outside and color. You get online at your risk. I'm just happy they didn't force us to change our passwords. They asked us too.

gmail sucks just fyi...Semper fi

I appreciate you coming forward and telling us. There is so many sites that don’t have the nads to do so.

If you want to see all the sites that had your data leaked. Check out haveibeenpwnd.com

Well, good to know. Always better to know. Did you wait to tell us because you needed to close the hole first so no one who found out about it from the post could abuse it?

I have no idea why they would want to be in my account it as I've only ever used the account for downloading mods, but I've literally messed up every chance to get them out of my account. my account is an older account. could this be related

Yeah, that happened to me too, any idea on how to proceed in this situation?
What steps do I take now? Is there anything I can do besides changing my password?
I am really inexperienced in these matters, so help would be much appreciated :)

There is NO SUCH THING as a fully secure site. When you realise that even the worlds greatest nations top Government and Military computers get hacked on a daily basis you might come to understand that hackers will always find a way in. Its just a game to these people and they play to win.
If you don't want personal info to be abused then don't put it online in the first place. I have been playing online games for years and have been a member of hundreds of sites since I got my first computer almost 20 years ago and I will tell you here and now that NOBODY knows my real name or where I live because it does not exist online. Create a fake online personality with its own email and use that for everything and you will never have to worry.

I would contact the staff and ask for your main account to be locked down before any damages are done. Or try contacting the staff to ask them directly on what could be done.
