Bethesda Forums Hacked

figment · August 13, 2011

Looks like Bethesda got hacked again. Some how I suspect this is retaliation for the Minecraft thing. (Though I still personally feel that Mojang is overreaching in the trademark for Scrolls. )

Seems like they were hacked earlier this year to me. I've had to reset my password at both Bioware and Bethesda more than I really should have to. Fortunately I use passsafe to generate more per site passwords.

Dear Bethesda Forum User,

We have identified a potential breach of our forum user database that occurred Friday morning, Aug 12. We have reset your forum password as a precaution, in the event that any encrypted forum user passwords were compromised.

When you next try to login to the forums, your old password will not work. Click the "I've forgotten my password link" underneath the login boxes, and follow the steps to setup a new password for your account.

We recommend you do not use your old password or a password you have used for other sites. Further, if your old forum password was used for any other online purposes, we recommend changing the password on those accounts as well.

If you have any concerns, visit the following link:

Strangely I have 2 accounts there and only one of them got this email.
