If you have not updated your password recently, please do so now as I am now personally confident that there have been no recent breaches of our network or databases. If you've updated your password since July 2013, your account on the Nexus sites should be safe and secure, as they will not have your new hashes/salts/password information. The dump contains user IDs, usernames, email addresses, hashes and salts, and that's it.” Scott added, “The database dump isn't a complete database rip. Two days ago, Scott updated Nexus modders and users about the database breach he said, “the database dump is ‘old, with the last member in the database having registered on July 22nd 2013.” Still, Nexus Mods reportedly had 5 million users as of January 2013.

Back in March 2013, a user on the Skyrim subreddit warned that Skyrim Nexus might be compromised as “skyrim_nexus.exe” could infect users’ systems with ransomware known as FBI Moneypak Virus other Nexus users claimed the Nexus Mod Manager wasn’t the only infected file on the site.

Not even a month ago, Nexus Mods proudly announced that due to the release of Fallout 4 it had over 10 million registered members. Scott said Nexus Mods intends to get its entire network – not just Premium Member payment pages – served via an encrypted SSL connection and it will start supporting two-factor authentication. At the time of the compromise, the Nexus password policy did not include a required number or special character, and a password could contain only three characters. Not all hashed and salted passwords are equally secure and some methods are easier to crack. Although he said all passwords stored the database were “hashed and salted,” he provided no additional details.

Another Redditor received an email from EA/Origin asking if a password reset had been requested yet another reported someone had attempted to access his Humble Bundle and Blizzard accounts. does not do any password complexity enforcement other than it is between 3 and 32 characters,” wrote REN-ISAC before adding that the emails and passwords “ are out on the Internet in criminal circles.”Īlthough other gamers took to Reddit to confirm receiving an email from Ohio State University about the Nexus breach, other users from other universities said they had also received breach notifications.Īfter the Nexus Mod breach PSA, one Reddit user claimed his PSN account was compromised, with the attacker changing the password as it was the same password used on Nexus. It will not be possible to determine if associated passwords meet your local complexity requirements.
