They're saying some of the mods for Fallout 4 were altered and a .dll file inserted into a few of them a few days ago, but from what I'm seeing it could well be some dodgy malware in their site ads.

Anyway, check for the dsound.dll file if you downloaded any mod from Nexus recently, and if you're affected best to secure your accounts if you re-use passwords (advice: don't ever re-use passwords and don't use emails for throwaway sign up sites for your serious/financial affairs as well). Also if on firefox use NoScript to block unwanted javascript.

I decided to just play vanilla until the official mod kit is released by Bethesda, though I have some mods there flagged. I just don't like having to edit .ini files to get a mod to work (believe me if someone could screw that up, it would be me).

I read the Nexus note this morning though. Could be pretty bad as there are a lot of files moving on that site.

Everyone already know about this, or is nobody worried at all

I'm not worried. I haven't used any mods yet. I am disappointed though because now I don't think I'm going to risk getting any.

I suspect it's their adverts rather than real breaches into files, because others reported they downloaded exact same files from the affected days with no issues (while using NoScript which will block the dodgy ads from executing).

Wait so even if a file says "virus scan completed and verified safe" and you download it through NMM it can still have this malicious thing?

Damn strange people have nothing to do other than ruin people site.

Interestingly the issue happened after they hit a landmark membership number (though I still suspect it's dodgy ads to blame).

Remember email account info is worth money to unscrupulous sellers, even better if you can access a person's full ID info (birthdate like that site asks people to provide) or bank/paypal account name or email/password as well.

Dammit the virus scan doesnt detect .dll implants.

*sigh* Gotta go through all the mod files and if I see even one .dll it's #changepasswords time.

Ty for the heads up

np Hope nobody is affected. I have to wonder if everyone already knew or not, would have expected a few more worried people!

http://www.nexusmods.com/games/news/12675/? is an update, there was no recent breach.

Good then. I still wonder if it was their adverts rather than cracked accounts though.
