Popular Fallout 4 modding site NexusMods reports that it was hacked

It’s the most wonderful time of the year (the time when you need to change your passwords because another site was hacked).

Hackers have breached NexusMods, one of the biggest sites for customizing and tweaking video games with fan-made modifications. The people who run the Nexus have confirmed in a blog post that stolen information does include usernames, email addresses, and passwords for a segment of its registered members. This is bad news for a site that requires the trust of its users. Nexus is all about downloading community-created files, which are inherently dangerous since it’s difficult to tell if they include malicious software. And while game companies like Sony and Ubisoft have suffered similar attacks, this is the first time a modding community has had to deal with something like this.
