    Unfortunately there's been yet another breach on the internet, this time over at Nexus mods (that place where you get Fallout / Oblivion / Skyrim) mods. If you use the same password there as anywhere else, it's recommended you change your password.

    As ever I make a recommendation to use something like http://keepass.info/ (password manager) to generate random passwords, that way everything can have a unique password.

    It's also worth mentioning that the forums support two factor authentication which adds an extra layer of security for your accounts here. You can turn this on here -http://bbroleplay.co.uk/forums/index.php?account/two-step .

    Thanks for the heads up. I pretty much use the same password for everything, so I need to change it or do something.

    In this case it probably really is worth it as there have been confirmed attempted breaches with Nexus details.
