For those of you who haven't been on the official forums for a bit, you may want to do so. While the passwords have all been deleted so that no one can access your account, it'd be best to just reset it and get it over with. If you have an account, that is.

On the login page, you'll see this message:


Please Read! August 12, 2011

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 above, 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.

You will also receive an email with this information, sent to the email address you registered with on the forums.

In the Bethesda Softworks "Community Discussion" forum thread, GStaff announced it earlier today:

It's nothing too serious, as they were on the ball and deleted everyone's password to be safe.

        I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the people who keep this website/forum running for us to enjoy, for being on the ball enough to not have this incident be a repeat of the PlayStation network going down for, what was it a month? Two months? Anyhoo, obviously someone's paying attention, and I am very grateful for that. Who knows what kind of chaos would ensue if there was a drunken monkey passed out at the wheel.

        I love that one. Bethesda Forums hacked... again (27)">

                                Someone out there has a real hard-on for Bethesda.

                                *Sigh*... can't people just slash tires or piss in the gas tank anymore? Why must they be so selfish?

                                    That is why I never putt my login on automatic or to remember automatically the password.I´ve being through this with many sites,forum,communities I attend.
                                    Only can I say is too bad...the virtual world is full of hackers,thieves and cheaters also in real life too only we can do is live with that and be preventive with caution.
