Lindor 426 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 When I try to download smth from Nexus mods, it warns me the site has been hacked and might be corrupted. I know @Flix, you upload your mods to Nexus mods, do you have further infomation? Is it safe to download from the site? Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 It looks ok to me. I checked in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. No warnings or unusual behavior. Perhaps it's a browser plugin or anti-malware at work? 1 Link to comment

No, I have only one plugin and it's definitely not from there. I should've probably more specific: I use chrome and the file in question is this one. The last update from that file is from 2013, I checked and it seems there was a big security issue in 2015 and another one in 2019 on Nexus mods (I joined 2020). I have the unconfirmed suspicion that either chrome or the website automatically give that notification for all downloads from prior to 2015. I took the risk and downloaded the file a couple minutes ago, my antivirus didn't catch alarm so it seems to be fine. But there's still some mixed feelings left.
