    A popular BeamNG.drive multiplayer mod got hacked.

    BeamMP, which lets you play BeamNG.drive’s physics-based vehicle sim with friends, is offline after a hacker infiltrated its infrastructure and shut down its Discord server.

    While the BeamMP team says it has “no verified reasons to believe that any end users have been ‘hacked’ as a result of the incident,” the bad actor likely accessed a “database where email addresses and encrypted passwords were stored.”
