What happened in Have I Been Pwned’s words

In December 2015, the game modding site Nexus Mods released a statement notifying users that they had been hacked. They subsequently dated the hack as having occurred in July 2013 although there is evidence to suggest the data was being traded months in advance of that. The breach contained usernames, email addresses and passwords stored as a salted hashes.
