[OutlawShark]

Thanx for having my six on this NEXUS! You guys and gals make online gaming simple and so much better. Good example...Imagine having nothing but Steam for support and "usable" mods....(bloody nitemare)..heehee. :) Still, it ain't a perfect world but even if it was somebody would always find something else to b&@*$ about. WE're where we are now. Safe ... thanks to all of you. Kudos!!! :)

What everyone needs to remember. Make sure every password is unique to the a visited site. Always have AntiVirus, AntiMalware, and firewalls running.. It cannot be called paranoia, because they are out to get you.

Doesn't work like that. It searches the list that's already been leaked for your email address, that's it.

Better to cold blow than woke up with a hand in the potty. If you know what I mean.

It also means that this guy is ekhem... not smart enough. (No offense Oniichan001, but it means you have 47 accounts with the same password or you had a txt file with all your passwords which is stupid)

I don't want to be rude, but your post could also leads the hacker to compromise you in the first place. You actually admit that you have 47 accounts with the same password which could make it easy to hack other your accounts.

At least Oniichan001 said they changed the 47 passwords already - I hope not all to the same one again!

Sorry for the lateness to this reply, but I totally agree with you. I have over 600 accounts that I own, each one used to have the same password. I was stupid and it took me about a month to change every single one of them to a unique, randomly generated password.

I was smart enough not to use “Password” and “1234” as any of my passwords, except for the sites in which I could care less to get hacked which honestly to show how much I don’t care I would tell everyone which sites those were, but unfortunately I don’t remember either, lol.

But in all seriousness, everyone should get in the habit of not only using a random password generator (which can be found in many apps like 1Password, Last Pass and evening Apple’s iCloud Keychain) but also setting up 2 factor authentication.

As someone who is studying cyber security right now in college, I highly recommend doing the above. It’s better late then never, but in the world of cyber security you ALWAYS have to try to stay 2 or more steps ahead of the attacker, no matter the cost. So for now on, if you create a new account anywhere, try to make it unique with numbers, letters with lowercase and uppercase & symbols.

Also, @austinichols: Many business who specialize in cyber security have this including Avast (Not sure about anyone else). You can also go to: https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if a email address of yours has been comprised, which site it was and when it was.

Edit: I was replying to a reply within this thread and apparently it didn’t put this reply in the right one.

Never use a cloud; how is it formed? what happens to it at saturation point?

I am confused by your comment. Where in this news post do you see anything about paying again?

[Saggaris]

As we're talking security here I figured I'd ask... Am I supposed to get...

 

HTML:Scrips-inf [susp] when I visit Skyrim pages?

 

Avast stopped it so I took a screenshot and checked it out, didn't sound too good.

or is it something my end?

The recent one I alluded to below was "aborted connection to skyrim:gems.com because it was infected with HTML...' as below, or so Avast claimed.
