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.

No one's claiming responsibility but could it be a response to the recent cease and desist sent to Minecraft?"
