Hackers may have infiltrated the Bethesda forum database Friday morning, causing Bethesda to reset all user passwords. Forum user passwords were encrypted and Bethesda has not confirmed any information was taken, but is taking this precaution regardless. If you have an account on the forums, Bethesda recommends changing your password to something more secure than the name of your first dog and favorite number (Bubbles69) on all sites you have an account with.
This is Bethesda’s second hacker scare since June, so if you didn’t change your information then, you might want to do it this time. Fool me once, and all that.
[Thanks, Kevin!]
