[sterile kestrel]

Microsoft Edge

MicrosoftEdge is legitimate.

[brave whale]

what's the name or names of the hidden files?

[surreal moss]

cool cool base on the jar scans I did looks like i'm safe

[sterile kestrel]

Recommend checking the github that's been posted above on the doc. Has the answers to those questions and then some, and I'd rather not spam it 🙂

[digital roost]

So, if there is no Microsoft Edge folder in local app data, does this mean I was never infected?

[surreal moss]

run the cf tools just in case

[digital roost]

I've run the script, does that suffice?

[warped stratus]

ran both and nothing was detected thank you eveyone for all the help

[surreal moss]

maybe but you know, if you just want to be sure

[digital roost]

Can you link these tools please?

[dense ermine]

I look manually and used the tool.

[uncut glacier]

so any word on when it will be safe again?

[pastel loom]

yeah i found out after updateing prominece that there was a virus going and that promince was infected around but luckly i think they took the update down before i updated but i ran the tool just to be on the safe side

[surreal moss]

Infected Jar Tool: https://github.com/overwolf/jar-infection-scanner/releases/download/1.0.0.0/JarInfectionScanner.zip

[dense ermine]

They are going through all the modpackd. Estimated 12 hrs when i read it

[digital roost]

ty

[uncut glacier]

when you read it?

[dense ermine]

Its in #news

[surreal moss]

it was posted around 12 am my time

[uncut glacier]

and what time is it now

[dense ermine]

9 hrs ago

[surreal moss]

9

[uncut glacier]

welp hopefully 3 more hours

[grand fox]

Is it safe to play yet

Sry that’s what I meant

[dense ermine]

Im waiting until CF says so

[sage finch]

I know in #📢︱news they mentioned that the scan was happening on all projects. When will we know the results in that scan? As well, are already predownloaded modpacks that have been played before safe or is it best to not run anything unless 100% sure its safe (from using a scanner)

[grand fox]

I’m wondering what cf is gonna do to try preventing this in the future, hopefully something

[wraith dagger]

Tried to launch minecraft after downloading some new mods and it keeps saying exit code: 1 or whatever every time I try to launch

[surreal moss]

12 hrs after the post was made maybe since they did mention it should take approx. 12 hrs

[grand fox]

Exit codes give us literally nothing, look for the crash report in the folder or the latest.log

[wraith dagger]

WARNING: coremods are present:
llibrary (llibrary-core-1.0.11-1.12.2.jar)

Contact their authors BEFORE contacting forge

I just downloaded OTG, does this help?

[surreal moss]

i was replying to the first part of his question

[wraith dagger]

The virus?

[sterile kestrel]

you might grab your latest.log or your crash log

hes asking about his game crashing. not that

[sterile kestrel]

the main mitigation that would help here would be difficult to implement. in fact CF tried to implement it before, and had very low uptake

[wraith dagger]

Do you want me to send the crash report to you?

[sterile kestrel]

put it in afile and post it here for others. i can try but im not the best

[carmine gale]

Paste created of crash-2023-06-07_10.54.37-server.txt, uploaded by himan.

[surreal vapor]

how long will this virus thing last

[sage finch]

so what u are saying is that any pack not updated within 48 hrs should be clean? Like im wanting to play stoneblock 2. Assuming thats safe?

[rich flint]

No - although stone block 2 hasn't been updated in years lol

This is not true. Please read #🆘︱current-issues🆘 and #📢︱news rather than random chat information

[sterile kestrel]

gonna be honest. not much for me to go off here and as i said, im not the best. from what i can tell its crawshing on a server tick..... which isnt normal behavior on game startup unless you launching a world

[wraith dagger]

thats annoying asf

[rich flint]

Ancient warfare. You have almost no performance mods and 1.12.2 was terrible without them. You should test some like vanillafix or foamfix, and increase your ram used to 6-7gb

?mc-ram

[red patio]

How to set Global Minecraft RAM value

1. Click the icon in the bottom left to open settings.
2. Click the Minecraft tab.
3. Scroll down.
4. Set the slider to recommended ram range as seen below.

[wraith dagger]

That would make sense cause I have a beefy computer and rendering world chunks at low setting and 12 render was freezing my game and I have biomes a plenty and all that, thank you for this ill see if it works

[weary hazel]

It’s been 9 and a half hours from the last major update (besides the hackmd events GitHub). Has anyone heard any updates?

[empty mason]

They said it would take about 12 hours to scan stuff

[weary hazel]

2.5 more and counting…

[wraith dagger]

Still no good, should I just redownload the pack or smth? That is a lot of progress loss

[rich flint]

Post which things you did in #🧱︱mc-other-help

[limpid merlin]

im not gonna claim to be a code expert, but it seems to me that its trying to load something that doesnt exist

[wraith dagger]

Which mods I addeD?

[limpid merlin]

and ice and fire seems to be the one doing it, so maybe reinstalling the pack its in or just that mod?

[wraith dagger]

Nah I just double checked and I have em all, the game ran before I added the mods tho so idk

[wraith dagger]

That could make sense cause I logged off the game while fighting a dragon from that mod, ill try it

ahh it didnt work

[limpid merlin]

this line in particular sticks out me as maybe trying to load something it cant find: com.github.alexthe666.iceandfire.patcher.IceAndFireRuntimePatcher
GL info: ERROR RuntimeException: No OpenGL context found in the current thread.

[wraith dagger]

I just deleted it along with the mods I downloaded and it didnt work, ill open the crash report

[winged chasm]

Even spigot is now at risk which is vanilla lol

[rich flint]

Please use #🧱︱mc-other-help for Minecraft game support questions

[wraith dagger]

Ok so I deleted OTG but everytime I load the game OTG_Core comes back as a file, I think that might be an issue

[limpid merlin]

so it might be trying to load something from otg, but cant since you deleted it and then it gets stuck

[wraith dagger]

I mean it doesnt work even with it installed so idk

[limpid merlin]

like i said, i dont claim to be an expert, just someone with some ideas as to what it might be

[lime echo]

so anything?

[worthy mesa]

hey when did the malware concern start? like when was the first report or when cf caught it

[hollow fjord]

evidences shows it is 2 months back iirc

[grand fox]

Modrinth mods are all safe correct? At least anything new

[worthy mesa]

i think it's only curse forge that was affected

[lime echo]

guess ill be by myself then lol

[rich flint]

see #📢︱news and #🆘︱current-issues🆘 for current information

[grand fox]

Stuff like shaderpacks and texture packs are safe to download right? It’s just Jars im pretty sure

[thorn basalt]

can you manually add mods/etc that you have into curseforge (sims 4) instead of having it scan? also, how do I know if it is scanning?

[random bone]

Yeah

[viral elbow]

If I haven't updated a modpack in a month or two, would it be safe to launch? or should I abstain from modded altogether for the moment?

[cloud oriole]

Is there a way to see when u downloaded a mod pack

[viral elbow]

just go into the files and look at the date, that should be when it last updated (not downloaded I dont think so no)

[cloud oriole]

So no way to check when I downloaded a pack?

[viral elbow]

im no expert but I dont think so

[vital dagger]

read news

[tiny shale]

Just cope without modded for a day or two

[rocky jungle]

how do i run detection tool on mac

[gentle tartan]

so i need help. anyone online?

[wraith dagger]

Im convinced OTG is a virus, I deleted my profile 3 times now and every time i launch the game it comes back

[jovial wagon]

Mac is not currently at risk, so there's no detection tool for it

[viral elbow]

https://tenor.com/view/no-sad-frustrated-no-way-yell-gif-17334973

[echo dagger]

so is it safe to launch modpacks if the tool found no malware(i want to run sevtech ages if that matters)?

[molten sequoia]

https://github.com/fractureiser-investigation/fractureiser/blob/main/docs/users.md#im-not-infected-now-what

This answers that question see section "I'm not infected, now what?"

[echo dagger]

thanks

[fluid plank]

Hi, I have enough points, but can't checkout, cause button is inactive.
What is wrong?

[grand fox]

if nekoscanner just says done scanning are you safe

[unreal fern]

i keep getting this when i try to play a modpack from the curseforge launcher

[spice forum]

I didnt see Microsoft Edge (or even MicrosoftEdge) does that mean Im fine(-ish)?

ran the scanner too, said Im fine, just wanna make sure

[robust orbit]

Download the cf scanners put all of your mods through the web detecter and be wary

[spice forum]

oki, thanks

[unreal fern]

can someone help me with this, i tired reinstalling java, idk whats wrong

[paper tide]

Quick search says it's because of outdated mods. Most likely what happened was one of the mods used had a dependent mod that was removed. Read #🆘︱current-issues🆘 to see why it may have been removed.

[rich flint]

that screenshot contains no useful information other than 'minecraft broke'
please use #🧱︱mc-other-help for game problems

[half peak]

do i need to take every step or just step 0

[quartz snow]

it doesn't take long, just do both

[half peak]

So i am 100% safe

[grand fox]

Is CF done with their scan yet?

[forest yoke]

I would say no until we hear more in #📢︱news

[crimson vale]

If you didnt see another Post then no

[grand fox]

Use the new jar scanner too

[half peak]

yeah i did

[grand fox]

The jar scanner scans s0, and the detector scans stage 2

[waxen tree]

where is the Jar scanner located?

[half peak]

yeah i did the other one too but i only did one profile folder because the other folders i didn't download things in years

[forest yoke]

Also in the help article

[half peak]

https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000228509-june-2023-infected-mods-detection-tool/

not the one from hackmd but the other one

[grand fox]

So what’s next after the scan completes? Is it safe to download anything again and then work on preventing this will set into place?

[forest yoke]

I would assume after they scan all projects we'll get the all clear. They'd then I assume be scanning new projects/updates for this before they get approved

[grand fox]

Rly hope they think of something good to prevent this type of thing from ever happening

[half peak]

you need to wait until curseforge disinfect everythng

[forest yoke]

I would think the lesson to be taken out of it, is verifying mod updates needs to be more strict and check for more malware

[half peak]

Bit there are a whole lot of new people in this server x

[grand fox]

I wish modding wasn’t such a game of trust. Or that the internet was less of a horrible place but that’s never gonna happen

[half peak]

Yeahh but why can;t everyone be nice and not upload malware

[forest yoke]

There will always be people who want to harm others for their enjoyment/profit, don't know why but there will be

[half peak]

Idk why i never bullied some one or something i always been kind and i dont get it

[grand fox]

I believe anything like that is all just mental illness, wires crossed in their brains. It’s human instinct to care for those around us

[forest yoke]

I don't get what people think they'll get out of doing things like this, they'll get caught and get in legal trouble and all they've really done is cause a little inconvenience for a day or so

[half peak]

Nice said

[grand fox]

I wonder if Curse is gonna take any legal action against the person who did this, if they’ve even been identified

[half peak]

there stands i dont have malware but still a little bit worried xd

[forest yoke]

I'm sure once they are satisfied wiht the safety of the projects they'll start going after the person involved

[half peak]

and luinar client and badlion client are safe?

[grand fox]

Yeah same, scared something is just lurking waiting to activate

[unkempt hearth]

is curseforge safe to run right now?

[forest yoke]

I wouldn't

[half peak]

shouldn't do it yet

[grand fox]

Probably not until they make an official statement

[unkempt hearth]

alright ill wait thanks for the heads up

[half peak]

yeah but should i scan badlion and lunar? because i only did my last used / updated modpack all the other modpacks i made years ago i only scanned those

[rich flint]

see #📢︱news and #🆘︱current-issues🆘 to learn what the current status is and what the situation is about

[grand fox]

I’d scan anywhere that has a .jar file on your pc

[forest yoke]

We should get an update soon, it's been a little over the 12 hour estimate so should be soon

[half peak]

yeah but don't know how i can scan lunar and bad XD

[grand fox]

Just paste the directory they are in into the JarScanner

[candid lance]

So basically we are waiting on an official announcement on the results of the full scan of CF ?

[opal cipher]

They are probably waking up soon-ish, as they are located in Israel. Unless some poor bastard stayed awake the entire scan procedure.

[forest yoke]

I noticed that the bad projects list got updated overnight, so someone may have been there. But yeah, it's I think 8:30 ish in israel rn

[half peak]

probably some one did

[opal cipher]

But my guess is that #📢︱news and #🆘︱current-issues🆘 will be updated, when they have more information. :)

[forest yoke]

Ofc

[half peak]

yeahh true

[gentle hearth]

oh cool didnt know they were located in israel

[half peak]

me too

[forest yoke]

Always a good fact to know when you want to know about pack approval, especially as work week is Sunday - Thursday

[half peak]

1 good thing about the whole malware spread

i went to this discord lmao and now i have a new fun discordd xd

[gentle hearth]

no meme channel tho :(

[opal cipher]

Troubles bring people together.. or something like that :')

[forest yoke]

Something along those lines

[opal cipher]

Time for me to focus on some work at my dayjob. Have fun and hope it all gets resolved soon!

[grand fox]

I’m in like 5 new discords lol

[half peak]

Nicee

[uncut glacier]

well back to jedi survivor until i hear something

[wooden ice]

Is it fine to Play lunar

[gentle hearth]

#📢︱news

[digital roost]

does anyone know how long it takes to wait for a file to be public on a modpack

[opal cipher]

Currently all approvals are turned off/halted/paused.

[fresh sapphire]

likely yes, but iirc lunar auto-updates so it could have stage0 but im not too sure

are all the c&c servers down

[inland harness]

Or you could use an antivirus xD

[paper basin]

I think its torchmaster (wrong channel, Sorry big champs)

[half peak]

i dont see Microsoft edge and the scanners didn't scan a virus so i dont have it? But i couldn't scan all the jars but i did most of them

[paper basin]

as long as theres no space then your safe, but do the rest just in case

dont want to risk it ya know?

[sacred lantern]

So are all of the files on the website currently scanned? It said 12 hours on the #📢︱news post and now it's been about 15

[opal cipher]

around 12 hours

So could be a few more hours.

Not 12 hours exactly :)

[sacred lantern]

Oh okay, I just didn't know if anything was said and I just missed it or it wasn't in news, thanks

[opal cipher]

Oh, it does say "around" in the news post.

But hopefully it'll get sorted soon.

[sacred lantern]

Yeah it does, I just assumed I missed it or something. I assume we'll get a ping or something, thank you

[opal cipher]

Yeah, there'll probably be a new post in #📢︱news later :)

[night crow]

Don’t think I downloaded anything new from curseforge- nor did I update anything recently to my memory- but just in case I did a full reset on my laptop- and then ran the provided scanner- and it said it didn’t detect anything. Is that enough, or should I try the jar checker just in case?

[wild axle]

Where does the CF launcher put its forge-injected jar files for Minecraft? I’m trying to find the datapack content added by forge.

[idle gorge]

hey getting this error while trying to update a moddpack

[paper sky]

check #📢︱news

[idle gorge]

cant see anything related to that

which part should i check ?

[paper sky]

if that's minecraft related its there

[idle gorge]

it says there was malicous file uploaded etc but what this has to do with me unable to update a modpack

[paper sky]

yes because they're preventing people to update mods packs because malware. Please read all the 3 news recently

[idle gorge]

oh didnt saw that and i was able to download new packs so didnt think it was related to that okay

[paper sky]

updating still falls in line of downloading, you're just downloading a new version

[idle gorge]

ohh i fucked up i reinstalled my pack bc i tought it would fix it and i cant downlaod it again rn lol

[lofty verge]

after i remved the mod first aid i can't regenerate health
how can i fix it

[idle gorge]

you should ask in #🧱︱mc-other-help

[mint shoal]

It explains what to do on the mod's description page

[lofty verge]

arleady done

[mint shoal]

that timing

[lofty verge]

oh ok tysm

[novel oxide]

curseforge and overwolf dont open

it shows them loading and once it finishes nothing happens

[oblique totem]

dont know if this needs to be in minecraft support but it seems to be related. opening mods from curseforge. then opens minecraft but it closes out the application. the mod would load but then shut down

[signal flame]

So I always get the same error code when I try to install modpacks but its in german tho "Fehler bei entchlüsslungsvorgang, siehe interne ausnahme" But I dont know how that translates correct in english and when I create my own custom profiles it cant launch the game because I think it said that it cant update the native launcher

[true bronze]

hi quick question
in perhaps the most unlucky thing ive ever done, right before this whole malware thing came to light, i was like "huh, i wanna get back into modded minecraft" (after not playing it for like a year)
i downloaded the Better Minecraft .zip file, but then got sidetracked and never played or extracted it
i believe that Better Minecraft is one of the infected modpacks
i ran the prismlauncher script to check for the malicious files and it came back clean, but i'm still a but nervous
am i in any danger if i never ran or extracted the infected modpack?

[lament hearth]

Have you run any of the detectors provided by CF yet?

[slim obsidian]

I have an issue whit shields in my description, when I use a shield containing a base64 image, it doesn't render. It does when I just open the shield link in my browser. (shields using shields.io)

[true bronze]

um no, where can i find those

[sacred lantern]

#🆘︱current-issues🆘

[true bronze]

alright i think im good
both scans gave me the all clear

[clever shard]

short question, I used the overwolf infection scanner and scanned \curseforge\minecraft
that was the right folder, wasnt it?

[cobalt talon]

hi, yesterday I did the scan to search for scan 1, 2 and 3 and there was nothing, so I uninstalled curseforge for the time this issue is been fixed but I didn't scan for stage 0, is it to late to scan for it ? and even if I uninstalled curseforge is there a chance for me to be still infected by stage 0 ?

[true bronze]

unless you ever downloaded mod files elsewhere that should be the right one
i scanned my Downloads folder too just to be safe

[clever shard]

ok ty

[cobalt talon]

@sage mantle very sorry for the ping it's because I'm not sure

[sage mantle]

honestly i know nothing about minecraft (i'm Sims 4 support), i'm just acting as crowd control right now. the best i can do is direct you to #📢︱news and #🆘︱current-issues🆘 and hopefully a staff member who's more knowledgeable will answer you when they're free.

[cobalt talon]

okay thanks for the reply

[sage mantle]

no problem! sorry i couldn't really help.

[cobalt talon]

don't worry in worst I will try to do the jar scanner on all my computer

[sage mantle]

good luck!

[sacred lantern]

Wait you can scan for different stages of the program?

[cobalt talon]

jar scanner detect scan 0 and tool detector stage 1, 2 and 3

[fringe oxide]

So I did a refresh windows. All apps are gone, and I have to manually download and install them back later. Do I still need to use the tool to check if ive been infected?

[sacred lantern]

I mean it sounds like at that point you probably deleted the infected .jars if you had any, you could probably start changing some passwords

[cobalt talon]

okay thanks

[sacred lantern]

If you have default minecraft installed you could also maybe check that

[prisma magnet]

That seems excessive

[sacred lantern]

Honestly I might do the same, I kind of want to reset my PC anyway

[fringe oxide]

Thats why i did it

[rich vale]

is it safe now to download/update mods as long it isn't on the cf list?

[sacred lantern]

I am pretty sure that's what they said in news

[cobalt talon]

okay

thanks

[prisma magnet]

after stage 2 runs are any of the files for stage 2 deleted? Ive run the stage 1 and 2 detectors before and ive run windows defender

like could it be infected with stage 3 and are there any signs

[upper plover]

same question

[prisma magnet]

lmao 5am trying to sleep but slightly preoccupied and worried so yeah theres that

[upper plover]

i had the microsoft edge folder but no sign of the libWeb file even with hidden files off

[agile glacier]

iirc, i dont think it deletes itself

[broken wyvern]

IS IT SAFE TO USE CURSEFROGE NOW ?

[agile glacier]

read it fully
#📢︱news message

[upper plover]

wait until like june 10th or smth

[prisma magnet]

so my process so far:
wake up yesterday and run the stage 1 and 2 thingies
start safe modpack
close
run things again + windows defender
now it is 5am
am i safe to assume that i can get some closure and sleep without worrying about me coming back to something bad?

[agile glacier]

your safe as long it doesn't detect anything

[prisma magnet]

Great, thanks

[upper plover]

idk why but this makes me paranoid irl despite the fact that its an internet thing

[broken wyvern]

wdym it was like they will take only 12hrs to complete it and they will update it in #📢︱news and they did it

[upper plover]

just precautions dawg, better safe then sorry

they might have smth up their sleeves, i doubt they didnt plan for this

[broken wyvern]

ok

and if i am using clients like lunar or badlion then any problem ?

[upper plover]

those are nonmodded clients so probably not

[broken wyvern]

so it's safe to use them wt abt feather cuz there are mods in it

[orchid gust]

same seeing stuff like the fake Microsoft Edge folder is so insanely creepy

its a complete breach of privacy and its scary, as if someone else is living in your house without you knowing

[broken wyvern]

is it safe to use Feather Client cuz it seems as if they are modded idk...

[upper root]

i believe feather uses the curseforge api, so still downloads stuff from cf.
because cf is clean now feather is also safe, provided they dont cache any mods
read #📢︱news for more information

[broken wyvern]

k so minecraft is safe we can use curse froge or any mods right ?

[upper root]

yes

[candid needle]

Hey so just wanted to report that jar detector gets detected on virustotal, nothing much just an false positive prob.
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ff42deb398f8df0e53f26259014083769c430bdd5e65c5a344e77d9f36e74eb7?nocache=1

[broken wyvern]

k thx 🙂

[versed vapor]

okay so, if i had the Microsoft Edge file i have and presumably had stage 2 and 3

or is Microsoft Edge just stage 2 ?

[sage shore]

Are mods safe again or is the malware still being spread around?

[candid lance]

where do I find minecraft CF files ?

[candid needle]

in your user folder, and then curseforge

[celest lantern]

u can find all information regarding that here -> #📢︱news message

[candid lance]

thanks, how long does it take ? (approximately)

[candid needle]

how long does what take?

[candid lance]

the scan, sorry lol

[celest lantern]

not long

[novel oxide]

Why does my curseforge not open

[celest lantern]

can u give more information ?

[slim obsidian]

can someone help me with this? (you can ping me)

[novel oxide]

My cursforge simply doesn’t open. I click it and it shows the launching curseforge pop up and once it finishes nothing happens. Same thing happens with overwolf

[celest lantern]

i think someone got the same issue a while ago he fixed it with reinstalling overwolf

[novel oxide]

I’ve tried that

I even deleted overwolfs file and then reinstalled it and nothing happened

[celest lantern]

mhhh weird question but did u restart ur pc xD ?

[novel oxide]

Yes

Multiple times

[celest lantern]

do u use windows ?

[floral dune]

If I downloaded better mc about a week and a half ago is it 100% that i got the malware? I havent played it in in a few days last time i played was before the announcement of malware

[valid tusk]

it was all the way back in april already

[celest lantern]

u should still check with the detection tool ... u can find all the info regarding that in #📢︱news message

[valid tusk]

honestly just check to be 110% sure, cause these things can be tricky ://

[nova crown]

its not 100%, just do the scan and if nothing pops up you're fine

[high coral]

how to update modpack version

[novel oxide]

Yes windows 10

[floral dune]

Okay thanks

[high coral]

try to close all curseforge and ovelwolf proceses in task manager

[celest lantern]

is ur windows up to date if not make sure it is ...

[burnt scroll]

so they said everything is solved like hour ago, but my uploaded mod files are still stuck on processing... so when can i expect them processed ?

[marsh sparrow]

it is true that curseforge are safe finally?

[celest lantern]

u can find all information about that in #📢︱news message

[restive field]

can a me downloada any mod and live now?

[celest lantern]

yes just reinstall all the modpacks and use the detection tool just to make sure but there are no cases in which user got infected with the current security measures by CF...

[restive field]

aight bet but it should be fine if i download new mods and whatnot right

[celest lantern]

yes but just to make sure use the detection tool right after that

[restive field]

what folder/file do i have to search up in this spot

[modern locust]

any folder that you have .jar files in

[restive field]

cbf fuck it we ball

[thin cosmos]

the scanner gives me a warning when i try to download it

[candid lance]

using prism launcher rn to download/import should be ok right ?

[vernal quiver]

Screen shot?

[restive cairn]

So now guys everything is safe and we can download mods?

[vernal quiver]

Yes, follow the instructions in the linked attached in the latest #📢︱news update

[lofty saddle]

I haven't used my laptop for 1 month and at that time I had installed bmc on it. When I found out that curseforge was hacked, I reset my laptop without opening it. I also had norton antivirus on it. Is it possible that my laptop still has malware?

[nova crown]

just use the scanner tool

[hexed vault]

Is the curse forge hack fixed ?

[lofty saddle]

Yes

[hexed vault]

Wait really I deleted all my big mod packs for nothing ?

[lofty saddle]

No old files maybe has malware but now you can download mods

[empty otter]

Sorry for the disturb but if we have a MacOS are we completely safe?
Isn't there a way to ensure that the mods we have already downloaded are malware-free?

[celest lantern]

there are no known cases were mac user got infected so u can say ur safe

[hexed vault]

Ohhh ok Alr thanks but another stupid question I downloaded a vr modpack with a lot of optimisation mods and yung’s better mods is it safe ?

[blazing cloud]

I scanned my uh Mods folder a bunch of times with the detecter, they all came back negative i should be fine then?

[celest lantern]

yes just to make sure use it every time u download mod(pack)s

[blazing cloud]

Alright thank you :)

[empty otter]

Isn't there a scanner tool available for Mac too?

[celest lantern]

i dont think so but mac is not affected so there was no need for that ...

[noble ruin]

i deleted all of my minecraft files yesterday Is there still a reason to use the jar scanner?

[wooden ice]

am i fine to play curse forge?

[celest lantern]

pls read #📢︱news message

[silver osprey]

yes you can

[wooden ice]

i did what i understood was i can but i just want to make sure

[wooden ice]

and can download any modpack on there right?

[empty otter]

Moreover, I've read that the mod When Dungeons Arise has been infected and even fixed, but it seems there is no update available. I've download it for Minecraft 1.16.5 Forge around the 23rd August 2022.

[pine fossil]

Just watch what you download

[celest lantern]

to make sure just use the detection tool after u downlaod mods then u should be fine

[wooden ice]

aight thanks ❤️

[balmy zodiac]

Do u guys know if dawncraft has been infected cuz I want to play but with the recent infection issues, idk could someone check if they have the free time?

[pine fossil]

You check 💀

[empty otter]

Is this safe or I should discourage people from downloading this old modpack of mine?

[celest lantern]

u can use the dedection tool to make sure its safe ...

[silver osprey]

dont download from mod list they have

[celest lantern]

but there are no cases in which user got infected with the current security measures by CF ...

[tawny hound]

hey guys..? (thats the .zip curseforge sent us for the malware detection)

[floral dune]

when i download the jar infection scanner & try to open it opens this a file with a folder "release" in it any idea what i should do?

[craggy sonnet]

extract the folder anywhere, and then run the program

[paper tide]

How long should that scan tool take to run that was way to quick

[tawny hound]

guys are we sure that the scan tools are legit? it showed up in virus total and im somewhat concerned to run it

[paper tide]

im kinda in the same boat you know after running it that was an instant...

[tawny hound]

what if it was cf what got hacked and not the mods...? what if we are all downloaded a maassive virus

[sterile kestrel]

It's fine. It's a false positive mainly because to find the infected files it has to know what to look for

It takes time for anti-virus signatures and things to catch up when things are caught

[pine fossil]

The admins have confirmed none of the accounts with admin/mod priv havent been hacked

[tawny hound]

yeah but if they were behind it wouldnt that be exactly what theyd say??

[paper tide]

safe thing to do would be deleting it afterwards for sure

[sterile kestrel]

It doesn't take that long for the scanner to run either running fast is normal

[hearty loom]

so wanna make sure if i get this right i can play minecraft mods as long as there not on the affected list ?

[pine fossil]

No. The owner himself has even confirmed that none of the admins accounts were hacked its in #📢︱news

[tawny hound]

true, but if it runs something else in the background thats an immediete L thousands of people have tkaen

[idle sail]

Are zip files infected?

[pine fossil]

Just .jar files

[floral dune]

how can i find the jar files?

[sterile kestrel]

If you don't trust it there are a couple open source tools where the source can be inspected

[idle sail]

omg im soo lucky thanks to god i had so panic

[pine fossil]

Bro doesnt want his p0rn files corrupted

[idle sail]

Thank you

[paper tide]

this is very true tbh the safest thing to do is air gap your pc and wait a week for this to go to other scanners download a scanner on a thumb drive then check but not everyone can do that

[idle sail]

My data is too important for me

[kindred linden]

Hey quick question! If I haven't played modded minecraft for like 4 months (I played in January), and especially didn't update any mods, I should be good?

[pine fossil]

His 2tb of furry porn doesnt need to be corrupted

[tawny hound]

what you really need to worry about is the passwords itl grab

[sterile kestrel]

https://github.com/overwolf/detection-tool

[idle sail]

Jup

[hearty loom]

so just to be clear i can play minecraft mods as long as there not on the affected list

[thin cosmos]

Imagine the true virus was the scanner and everything up until then was just to get more people to install it 🕵️ (conspiracy theory)

[sterile kestrel]

This is the source code for the tool used by curseforge. You can inspect to your hearts content.

[tawny hound]

its been stuck like this for a bit is this ok

[sterile kestrel]

Pretty much

[kindred linden]

?

[desert magnet]

I need help plz 🙏

[tawny hound]

problem is safest way to run this is run it in a virtual machine but we cant or its useless..

[sterile kestrel]

That's an error. This running as admin? It's saying it can't access the needed directory

[celest lantern]

if u want to be sure u can use the detection tool on every instance u want to launch ...

[tawny hound]

im sorry but there is no way in H E double hockey sitcks that i dare to run this as administrator

[inner zephyr]

hey guys, i ran both the detectors, and the specific folder on was ran in each folder containing mods, plus i had never downloaded any mods from the list in the article. Am i safe to play?

[sterile kestrel]

Then the tool doesn't run. As I said the source is open to be inspected. I understand paranoia, but if you won't trust the open source tools put together by the community and CF then there really isn't a way to confirm 100%

[vale tundra]

That's for scanning jars aka your mod folder for the mod packs

[sterile kestrel]

If it found nothing yes

[tawny hound]

and such is the paradox of being terrified of viruses, cant trust i havent got one, cant trust the antivirus isnt a virus, just one big loop of me being scared. but ykw frick it im gonna run it and if im infected from it ill die laughing knowing ive at least gone down with the ship

[cobalt talon]

lmao were the same, I'm scared too

[tawny hound]

imagine later today we all just begin seeing cmd prompt appear

[sterile kestrel]

Welcome to the cybersecurity space my friend. It's all about risk management.

[tawny hound]

more like cyberparanoia and panic attack management

[vale tundra]

You're scanning the wrong thing...

https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000228509-june-2023-infected-mods-detection-tool/

Please reaaaad and follow instructions

[kindred linden]

Anyone?

[tawny hound]

yeah i would still scan it, as its possible for last 4 months ive heard, but you should be good most likely

[sterile kestrel]

Run the scanning tools. Should be OK after

[pine fossil]

Everyone is shitting bricks over this istg

[kindred linden]

Alright. Time to boot up ol' reliable

[sterile kestrel]

That's what happens when you breach security 😛

[thin cosmos]

I'm also paranoid but I rather take the risk of not being at risk with a bigger risk.

[sterile kestrel]

If anything, with it being open source, it would be a smaller risk not a bigger risk the bigger risk is leaving it unverified on your machine

[halcyon ridge]

Do the detection tools provided on the curseforge support page work for Mac? (I know the malware doesn’t seem to work on Mac, but I’d still rather not have stage0 on my system)

[thin cosmos]

Exactly.

[inner zephyr]

just run the tool they made

[celest lantern]

just reset ur pc if u are that scared ...

[tawny hound]

yep, thats why ive already deleted it and cleared recycle bin, however you do know that it is very hard to actually fully wipe a file or folder. even clearing recycle bin means it still exists, its just marked for deletion and cant do anything until its overridden by other files you download in the future. at least thats what i know, dont take my word for it probably bc im dumb sometiimes.

[halcyon ridge]

So the detection tool doesn’t work on Mac?

[sterile kestrel]

You are partially correct lol, but you are talking about a forensic analyst or a professional drive recovery here lol. This malware is not at that level of sophistication. And if the tools tried to do anything malicious, we would know, as the code can be inspected

(I am an information security major so)

[pine fossil]

What do i run on the stage 0 detection tool?

[celest lantern]

there is no need to bc there are no cases were mac user were affected ...

[halcyon ridge]

Ok thanks

[pine fossil]

@celest lantern what should i run on the stage 0 detection tool?

all i need to know is what should i run on the stage 0 detection tool?

[celest lantern]

wdym ?

[pine fossil]

its asking what files it should run

[celest lantern]

all java files u think could be infected

[pine fossil]

well i deleted my mods folder yesterday and i think i deleted .minecraft too

[inner zephyr]

oh damn

[agile glacier]

why your entire .minecraft folder

[pine fossil]

idek someone here said i should do it

[agile glacier]

if it includes .minecraft, never listen to them

[deft wolf]

For the check with the jar scanner I searched the entire curseforge file, if that's clear too am I good?

[pine fossil]

i'm not infected i ran the scan on all my files

[digital roost]

the detection tool isnt running. I'm on linux. I downloaded the linux version and set it to execute as program. But it still does nothing whe I try to run it

[dusty grotto]

I think I stumbled onto a suspicious mod update, the changelog says "IMPORTANT SECURITY UPDATE * This fixes an important security issue, update asap. The issue will be revealed in 1-2 months.". It feels like they want people to update quickly but won't say why (1-2 months ? Thats weird). Could it be that the modpage has been compromised AFTER the global check by curseforge ? It's Global Packs by JTK222

I don't know if there's a curseforge personnel that could check this out

[digital roost]

i got the first tool to run but now i cant find a linux version of the second tool

[vernal sonnet]

Did I understand it correctly? I can now safely download new minecraft modpacks without a risk of getting infected?

[manic blade]

can i ask about uploading mod to curseforge?

[calm plover]

There is always a risk in general, everything you download in the web can be malware - for now no projects are known to be affcted and online on curseforge so try it. I would be always save and make some scans with the tool to see if anything get detected

[uncut glacier]

how do i put my mod pack into the jar scanner?

[manic blade]

this is my first time uploading mod, my mod is approved but when i tried to open it on a browser not logged in, there is no mod file and i noticed that there is a "proccessing" status, does it mean that i will have to wait for my mod file to be appear, and if that so, how long does it usually take

[calm plover]

you just need to install the scanner and scan ( #📢︱news) , no need to select a folder.
You can also look into the list for affected mods, when you have installed one on the list it is possible that you got affected

[calm plover]

yep can take time also bec the malware issue

The other scanner you click browse and then select the mods folder of your instance and then scan and it'll look through all your mods for infected files

[uncut glacier]

oh thank you

[uncut glacier]

so im clean? im good to boot up my save?

[wooden ice]

where did u download that scanner?

[uncut glacier]

from the link in the news channel

[rose yew]

check the #🆘︱current-issues🆘

[uncut glacier]

so im all good to play again?

[restive cairn]

can we download mods from forge now?

[granite yoke]

I wouldn’t recommend

[tawny moat]

im still a bit nervous lol

[restive cairn]

alr

[celest lantern]

why ?

[celest lantern]

u should be fine if u reinstall all ur modpacks and use the detection tool before u start a mc instance ..

[restive cairn]

ok

[granite yoke]

Ok

[celest lantern]

also if u use the Curseforge App u will be a lot safer instead of downlaoding the mods from a website in the internet ...

[restive cairn]

can't i use curseforge website?

[celest lantern]

thats also fine but try sticking to offical websites

[restive cairn]

of course

[fresh tulip]

Hello I have a problem here when I add a version of my modpack it's taking forever to Processing

[umbral hedge]

where is the browse?

[celest lantern]

on the right side of the bar

[umbral hedge]

Yeah i know, but i can't find it

[celest lantern]

is the right side cutted out ?

[umbral hedge]

It is

[digital roost]

can you not drag and resize the window?

[umbral hedge]

i'm trying but nothing appears

guess i have to manually write the name of the files

[celest lantern]

try to restart the app or computer ....

[rose yew]

just copy the path of the file location needed, then paste it

[grand fox]

This virus isn’t detectable from most antiviruses

[umbral hedge]

there is an problem in the button layout. that's the problem

[umbral hedge]

oh thanks

no infected files found in all my modpacks

[fresh tulip]

..

[umbral hedge]

sorry, i can't help you. but i'm sure there is someone here that can

[burnt scroll]

sooo two hours later my uploaded files are still stuck on processing. Can someone fix it ?

[rose yew]

Redo the process

[burnt scroll]

how? cant find option to delete them

checkbox next to the files is also greyed out so cant archive them either

[digital roost]

given the recent malware outbreak, I'd imagine that the processing for uploaded stuff to their site has gotten more thorough

[burnt scroll]

well dont think it now takes 4 hours instead of 10 minutes like before the outbreak

[opal cipher]

There is a large queue, so yeah it's gonna take a while

[burnt scroll]

ah makes sense but would appreciate some info about it

[vernal quiver]

Noted 🙂

[opal cipher]

Huh, I was sure they posted something about it.

[north bramble]

They did, in the dev server

is there any new info on a linux version of the jar scanner? Nickel said they were looking into it

[short wagon]

im safe

[umbral hedge]

wait i didn't need to run the modpacks one by one?

[short wagon]

i dont know

[sleek nova]

where can i find my curseforge mods in my files to scan them

[short wagon]

i just scanned my curse folder

[umbral hedge]

i'm just scanning again to be sure

nothing here, its time to scan my second folder

[sleek nova]

do i have to turn on assembly binding logging?

[short wagon]

all paranoid i think me too i scan every time before and after i play minecraft

[umbral hedge]

i'm the safest in the world

[umbral hedge]

also no need to worry, i didn't update this no chat reports

[fresh tulip]

But if I didn't know that my file were a virus what well happen?

[umbral hedge]

you mean if you downloaded an file with virus?

[tall basin]

You've probably already scanned them all, but you could just go to the folder with the mods you want to scan then click the icon on he left as seen here and it'll highlight the exact path you need to take to access that folder so you can just copy and paste it

[buoyant bridge]

false trojan?

[umbral hedge]

i already found out this

[fresh tulip]

No I mean like if I add a mod that had a virus and I didn't know about it what well happen?

[cedar drum]

I have a powershell scanner if anyone wants it, works wonder against the virus

[umbral hedge]

stage 0, it may update to an stage 1. but looks like stage 0 and 1 are dormant

[red shadow]

Typical times between new Minecraft and new Forge release?

[digital roost]

imagine being able to scan. cries in linux The jar scanner only is for windows

[stoic kernel]

I keep trying to make a Minecraft Modpack for me and my brothers to play but I keep getting an incompatible modset error... all the mods I chose are 19.2 and fabric so I have no idea what is incompatible and I can't understand what the error message is saying other than something is incompatible...

[tall basin]

Anyways so from what I understand after reading the most recent message in #📢︱news is that it's safe to download mods, modpacks, and bukkit plugins off of curseforge again. Is that the case?

[slim obsidian]

can someone help (you can ping)

[fresh tulip]

But if was stage 2 or 3 what well happen?

[celest lantern]

There are no cases in which user got infected with the current security measures by CF
although that dosnt mean the problem is 100% solved, but it should be save to play modded Minecraft rn
if u want to be even saver run the detection tool before u launch any instance of minecraft
the detection tool and a lot more information about that in #📢︱news

[cedar drum]

Youre password information would be stolen and a cryptominer would be installed on your pc

[tall basin]

Ok good, thank you

[slim obsidian]

put your error in a past bin and send it here

[fresh tulip]

That's is really scary

[stoic kernel]

what is a past bin?

[umbral hedge]

i was trying to find an image of what they do since i forgot, but yeah its what evan said

[umbral hedge]

oh there it is

[slim obsidian]

just a site to upload large amounts of text

[acoustic matrix]

Is curseforge safe now

[stoic kernel]

this? https://pastebin.com/qMFZ8szm

yes

[serene island]

I have downloaded many mods and modpacks in the past few months, but how long ago do you think they were infected?

[limber narwhal]

"here are no cases in which user got infected with the current security measures by CF" oh dose this mean the only mod packs with the infected files were downloaded directly form the website or third party sources?

[umbral hedge]

a few weeks according to the news

[serene island]

Okay thanks

[celest lantern]

Im talking about the current(present) after the measures by CF...

[warm mantle]

Mac users should be good to go right

[celest lantern]

yes

there are no cases in which mac users got affected ...

[slim obsidian]

What I thing is happening is that for some reason fabroc thinks magic origins doesn't have a version specified. If I am write you should ask the mod creator about this

[warm mantle]

Yea..i still cant help being paranoid about it tbh

[umbral hedge]

can i finally play minecraft 1.20 with no worries?

[celest lantern]

vanilla or modded?

[umbral hedge]

yeah, the news said that even vanilla was unsafe

[jade jewel]

What's the current status of processing resource pack updates?

[celest lantern]

it isnt

Why does it say when I download the second jar malware scanner on curseforge’s support It says not download commonly

[static wave]

everytime i try to start a 1.19.2 forge profile on curseforge it shows me the error: an unexpected issue occured and the game has crashed. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Exit code: 1

How can i fix this?

[celest lantern]

!mc-installfix

[red patio]

How to repair your Minecraft installation on CurseForge - **NOT** the same as `Repair Profile` - please follow these exact steps

1. Click on the Minecraft Tab on the left side of the CurseForge App.
2. Click button next to the Create Custom Profile option.
3. Click Repair Installation option.

NOTE: Although this might seem similar to the instructions of repairing profile, it's different and required. No worries, you will not lose any modpacks or worlds.

Video guide

[celest lantern]

try what the bot says

[static wave]

ill give it a shot

[scarlet forge]

So is it safe now to download mods from the app?

[finite depot]

You can find that answer in the TLDR of the latest #📢︱news .

[oblique silo]

how do use fab on 1.20?

[young sedge]

Does. This malware infect other staff such as documents, files etc???

[jovial wagon]

anyone know if the banned mods will be coming back in any way

[cunning tulip]

Not sure what the malware does exactly to your game/pc but while playing with random keys seemed to be pressed without me doing it. perhaps just a bug of the modpack or..
I did a test yesterday and it said nothing was found so x.x

[hushed pier]

Alright, Im sorry if this question sounds dumb, I aint the smartest on tech, but am I still safe to enter login info to overworlf so I can access privacy settings?

[static wave]

ive followed everystep of the bot. however its still giving that same error

[oblique silo]

help i need plz

[slim obsidian]

Can someone help me with shields.io, links containing a Base64 image don't render for me on curseforge. It works anywhere else (using markdown)

[jovial wagon]

the malware is in the mods, not in curseforge itself, so it should be fine

[hushed pier]

k ty

[jovial wagon]

Command and Control for it is down at this moment, so for now unopened files are stuck at stage zero. From #📢︱news , run the malware checker to make sure it isn't installed, and if no malware is detected download the jar file scanner and scan all your mods for dormant stage 0 code. If any files are detected, delete them. Once they're all off your computer, you're safe to play minecraft again, as all infected mods were taken down

it's now okay to download and play mods, just make sure you don't have any infected files on your computer first

with the mods taken down, you're at no more of a risk than you were before, just due to the nature of modding you always can potentially download something malicious, that's why you've gotta be careful what you download

[regal sonnet]

A bit late, but no, it was not compromised (And I checked my system for the malware). Just bad timing.
The security issue has been reported Tuesday morning to me, and I fixed it right after work.
The exact issue is kept secret for now, because it's really easy to abuse even without any technical knowledge.
The tldr; users of older versions, are under the risk of others being able to play with their MC accounts.

I know this might not sound really trustworthy, but yeah.. there's nothing I can really do besides telling you the above.
Also 1-2 months were maybe a bit far fetched, I was kind of panicking that this issue existed since 1.18 and no one noticed or at least reported it to me. More likely to reveal it in a week or two

[bronze dock]

this person in a server im with keeps saying that inventorypets is compromised, but isnt sending screenshots of where he found it. is that true?

[jovial wagon]

curseforge made a full scan of every mod hosted on the site, and infected mods were removed. You can find the list in the article in #📢︱news

[bronze dock]

thats what i told him, thanks

[jovial wagon]

if you're suspicious of a mod, you can always use the jar scanner on it

[bronze dock]

how would someone know if they had stage 3 btw, was curious abt that yesterday

[jovial wagon]

the malware detector should detect all stages past 0, if the malware detector comes positive, then you have stages 1-3

[bronze dock]

im fine, i did a complete windows scan and i did the detector, im just syaing hypothetically. and i thought i read that stage 3 cant be seen?

[jovial wagon]

I don't remember seeing that

[bronze dock]

i think it was someone in this server that said it, which makes sense why it probably isnt true

[jovial wagon]

If you're worried about it, you can just change your passwords

[bronze dock]

also, i wanna add two mods to my server later, fairy lights and gravestone mod, i should be safe to do so right?

[jovial wagon]

yep

just make sure that your server has no malicious mods already ofc

[dusty grotto]

Ah alright ! Yeah I can see the misunderstanding now, glad it's fine! Thank you for replying and letting me know !

[jovial wagon]

I somehow have 0 malicious files

[elder dagger]

how did you find out

[jovial wagon]

the jar scanner tool

i just scanned all my modpack's mods folders

[elder dagger]

where is the jar scanner tool

[jovial wagon]

download can be found in #📢︱news

[elder dagger]

thx

[slim obsidian]

could the virus have spread to other sites/programs? If for example a developer of a java program dowloaded an infected file and updated the java program he is making on his website. Would this download contain the virus?

[jovial wagon]

theoretically

you should just be able to use the jar scanner tho

I've checked, and the scanner will scan non minecraft related jar files

[unborn ridge]

i dont see the jar scanner in news

[crude geyser]

ok i dont want to be annoying but do i just choose one of them : detection-tool-console-0-0-2-win.exe and the detection-tool-0-0-2-win.exe to use?
I open the console one and it closed it self

thank you

[restive cloud]

How do I use the stage 0 jar infection detector? It's currently packaged as a zip file.

[light solstice]

unzip & run the .exe

i'm pretty sure that's what i did

[restive cairn]

guys the detector tool on the news channel is the 0-0-1, where is the 0-0-2?

[crude geyser]

in github

[restive cairn]

ok thx

[rich flint]

https://github.com/overwolf/detection-tool/releases/tag/0.0.2

im trying to play on mc 1.19.4 through curseforge so i can add a couple of mods i need, one of the mods is sodium/rubidium/optifine, anything to boost the fps really, but i cant find any of them

[lime estuary]

What the recommended memory usage to put for a mod that has 200 mods

[restive cloud]

Sodium isn’t available on CF and is for Fabric, Rubidium is and is for Forge, OptiFine is on its own site

[magic night]

Im running into this problem where mods themselves support the verson im modding but the dependencies dont support the same version. What should I do? (if there is anything I can do)

[grim glacier]

I think my pc just broke after downloading a modpack

[rich flint]

i doubt that. more likely you found one who had their dependency removed from curseforge or the dev did a goof. example?

[trim sparrow]

bump

[magic night]

YUNGS Better Mineshafts. The mod itself supports 1.12.2 but YUNGS Api only goes down to 1.16.3/.4

[regal sonnet]

Squizzle answered you just a few messages above.

[grim glacier]

I thought packs was safe to download again clearly not

[regal sonnet]

The malware would not break your PC

[grim glacier]

Well it clearly has considering it’s been running fine until I downloaded that pack

[regal sonnet]

Well, then could you elaborate what broke?

[rich flint]

i don't think it actually has a required dependency in the 1.12.2 version

[grim glacier]

My whole pc I can’t even boot it up no more it black screens

[magic night]

I will try it

[grim glacier]

Nvm the pc is running

But extremely extremely slow

[digital roost]

I should just search for .jar files in my search bar right, if im correct they're all in my forge folder but idk if they are anywhere else

[magic night]

you were right! thank you!

[regal sonnet]

If you're concerned, run a virus scan (e.g. windows defender)
And additionally you can run Overwolfs checker linked in #📢︱news

[trim sparrow]

any client modders other than curseforge, there are some mods that i cant find on it

[young bone]

Mods such as

[trim sparrow]

sodium, or literally any other mod for 1.20

[young bone]

1.20 is brand new, Sodium is on Modrinth

[trim sparrow]

ok that helps ig, thanks

[young bone]

Not every mod is immediately available on 1.20

[grim glacier]

i mean when it was black screen i couldnt and its fine now just needed to put some compressed air in and its fine again

[thorny nebula]

are there any compromised texture packs on curseforge?

[jovial wagon]

texture packs don't use jar files, so atm they're fine

[thorny nebula]

thank you

[full steeple]

Am i safe from the hacked files if i haven't used curseforge since the 4th of may?

[jovial wagon]

same for shaderpacks

[chrome sparrow]

Hi is it a problem that I downloaded patcher yesterday?

[rich flint]

use the scan tools in #📢︱news

[rocky sun]

i downloaded BetterMc mod this week and am now seeing videos about it being a virus. How can i check?

[grand fox]

i just had some random mod called "Its Raining Ores" show up on my CF mods list for a second and when i clicked on it, it had like no info. then i went back and it was gone

[tidal cliff]

[light drift]

Use the tool that you can find at #📢︱news

[wooden oriole]

Who can help launch Detector Tool Deployed? I don't understand English and have now written this through a translator

[small shell]

Can I still play if I only use essential?

[signal vigil]

Is the maleware infecting every mods, or just these mods listed?

[slow gazelle]

Is the malware operating on Macos ??

[slow gazelle]

Yes you can use essential mod surely

[rich flint]

no. see #📢︱news

[sharp stream]

how do i usethe 2nd check tool?

[gritty kraken]

I’m having issues running any and every mod pack on curseforge for a day or two now

[quartz moss]

Is it possible to filter minecraft modpack by mod in pack? I want to find good modpack with ProjectE, but idk how to do it

[lucid delta]

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

[sharp stream]

i cant even get it to run💀

[quartz sequoia]

What’s the current status of the compromised account and mods

[clever jackal]

Any idea how I can search by ID? Modpack rejected for certain ID's but I don't know which mods they correspond to

[random pebble]

Hi i'd like to play with my friends on a modpack i created. How do i upload/share it ? Do i have to post it ?

[clever jackal]

Not necessarily, especially if you aren't going to update it a lot. Click on your profile that you've created, go to the three dots in the top right, and then export it. Select the folders you need beyond the default 3 (maybe resource packs for example) and then send them the .zip file it makes.

[random pebble]

i'm not going to update at all

[thin cosmos]

likely false positive

[young bone]

You can directly send it to them

[random pebble]

already done but as they put it in they're folder it doesn't appear on curseforge app

[clever jackal]

Import button is in create custom profile > top of the screen

[random pebble]

perfect thank you very much

[hidden zealot]

Can I add my own mod files to aternos forge? And not be limiter to the aternos mods

[tough ridge]

When does the malware date back? Also can someone give me the hackmd link or a list of all the malware mods

[potent zodiac]

Hello can anyone tell me how am I supposed to use the tools for linux?

[potent zodiac]

curseforge page for affected mods

[tough ridge]

Alr thanks

[potent zodiac]

that document moved to github here:
https://github.com/fractureiser-investigation/fractureiser

[tough ridge]

So xaero minimap and simply voice are safe?

[potent zodiac]

They are not in the infected mods list and curseforge said they scanned their database, so I guess yes they are safe

[fading terrace]

Hi with global_packs can you not have .zip files in them?

the processor will only accept one ZIP file with all relevant files within it. Please extract internal ZIP files and try to reupload the file.
If you have any questions please contact our support team https://support.curseforge.com.```

This is not the Forge Discord server

Dear user, you might be looking for the Forge Discord server or trying to use a command that only works there.
While CurseForge does contain the word Forge, they're not the same.

You may find the Forge Discord server here: https://discord.gg/UvedJ9m

[junior vortex]

will the anti virus scanner work to see if iv been infected or do i need to use the scanner they made?

[potent zodiac]

use the ones they made as the AVs only detect known malwares!

[junior vortex]

alr ty

how do i go to search the files that have been found?

[potent zodiac]

what do you mean?

[honest juniper]

The detection tool says I have the files but I cant see them in that directory even with hidden items turned on

[hidden zealot]

Can I add my own mod files to aternos forge? And not be limiter to the aternos mods

[potent zodiac]

Check out the guide by curseforge and fracturiser investigation team for detailed instructions on how to use the tool, it is pinned in #🆘︱current-issues🆘 and #📢︱news

[young bone]

#🧱︱mc-other-help message

[potent zodiac]

can anybody tell me how am I supposed to use the cf scanner tools on Linux, do I need to compile the tool from source code? I don't know how to!

[junior vortex]

do i copy and paste the files that have been found into the search bar on the “this pc” section in the folder? i did that but it’s like stuck at the end and won’t finish searching

[rare aspen]

So, run the scanner tools and my system is clean according to them.
One question: If I choose to keep playing Minecraft from this point onwards, should I do regular rescans until there are furthur updates on the situation, or is that unecessary with a clean system?

[potent zodiac]

Oh no no no, download the tools by curseforge which can be found in the #📢︱news channel and use them to check for the infected files and after effects of them

[junior vortex]

i did and i have 5 detected files, and it says to go to the file destination and delete them but im not sure where to go to find the destination

[potent zodiac]

well if your system is clean according to the scanner you don't need another rescan as the attacker's servers are down so they cannot do anything, they tried to infect people with the popular Skyrage malware as a last ditch effort but failed.
But basically you don't need to do rescans regularly. Just keep an eye out for updates on the situation until the dust settles

[potent zodiac]

If I am correct it is also giving you the path to each and every one of those 5 files, paste those path one by one and delete the files

Also there are two tools by the way, be sure to use both

[junior vortex]

do i paste them into the search bar in the “this pc” section of the folder?

[potent zodiac]

open your file explorer and paste the path in the big search bar, yeah "this pc" search bar (sorry I understood it late as I have not used windows in a really long while)

[junior vortex]

it’s ok ty i’m gonna try to do that rn

[clever jackal]

Anyone know how to get mod name from ID?

[cedar narwhal]

Hello!! Is it safe too play Modded now? 🤔

[potent zodiac]

read the curseforge announcement and fracturiser investigation documentation and decide for yourself!

[acoustic cedar]

No that is not an answer

[junior vortex]

i searched one of them in the "this pc" search and i have hidden files turned on and it says that "no items match your search"

[potent zodiac]

😅

See I would say it is safe to use as per the announcements but I am still somewhat skeptical personally

[potent zodiac]

please follow the guide by curseforge, I do not have memories of windows anymore I am sorry, but I checked the curseforge guide it's really comprehensive, check that

[acoustic cedar]

How do i use the second tool?

[potent zodiac]

Install the zip file that is downloaded, extract it, and run the .exe file

[honest juniper]

The directory was missing for me even with show hidden items enabled. I had to go into view options and disable "Hide protected operating system files" to get the malicious files to appear and delete them. The guide on the site does not cover this and it definitely needs to be added to it.

[acoustic cedar]

how do i extract .-.

[potent zodiac]

right click, extract...something

[acoustic cedar]

what do i rigjt click?

[potent zodiac]

It does I suppose, check the fracturiser guide, they are more comprehensive

[potent zodiac]

the zip file!

[acoustic cedar]

WHAT FILE WHICH ONE

[potent zodiac]

there is just one!

[acoustic cedar]

Jar scanner thingy?

[potent zodiac]

yup (just remove this slowmode for god's sake!)

[acoustic cedar]

Okay its out what do i do now? open? @potent zodiac

[potent zodiac]

anywhere you'd like, probably on desktop for easy access

[acoustic cedar]

HELLPP do i open the file now?

[kindred stag]

🍿

[potent zodiac]

so the folder that is extracted contains a .exe file, JarInfectionScanner.exe, double click it to execute it

[clever storm]

double click the .exe

[acoustic cedar]

I did it which files do i choose?

I did it which files do i choose?

[granite otter]

click the application one

[potent zodiac]

You need to choose your minecraft related folders, or you can scan your whole C://

[acoustic cedar]

what about .minecraft?

[potent zodiac]

Yeah that

[acoustic cedar]

uhm idk whats happening it just saying random files

[granite otter]

that is it checking

also if you have any modpacks installed find the path to the curseforge folder holding them and check those files

[junior vortex]

whenever i search for the files it found it keeps telling me “no items match your search” im not sure what to do now

[acoustic cedar]

i delted curseforge i have ftb and OW

[granite otter]

picture?

[granite otter]

deleting curseforge was not recommened by curseforge themselves

[acoustic cedar]

oops i deleted it before they said anything about it

[potent zodiac]

refer to this message anna (how many anna are here damn!)

[junior vortex]

i also did that its still not appearing

[granite otter]

I dont think you are in the correct location

[potent zodiac]

hmm that is interesting

Do you know how to use command prompt?

[granite otter]

what are you looking for?

[honest juniper]

You can also copy and paste the file path from the detection tool

[junior vortex]

where should i be searching for it? also i do not know how to use the command prompt

[devout snow]

Hello everyone. The question is about a well-known problem. If I have a folder with a simple name "Edge", without spaces between "Microsoft" and "Edge" and the like in the Microsoft directory, then I'm fine, right?

[acoustic cedar]

shet

[potent zodiac]

Follow these steps:
Press windowskey+r -> type cmd -> enter
now type this command
cd _the_copied_path(omit the last part after the slash)

then run this command(let me search for it)

[acoustic cedar]

the second detector is so slow it isnt doing anything anmore

[potent zodiac]

their is an easier way anna

[granite otter]

thats weird I was following the path through my own explorer and I dont got an microsoft edge folder

[junior vortex]

what do i do?

[potent zodiac]

search command prompt in your start menu and tap open as administrator

then run this command
del <path provided by the tool>
you will have to do this individually for each path

[granite otter]

my hidden items are shown

[junior vortex]

ok ty im gonna try this

[potent zodiac]

@junior vortex not to scare you but you are affected with the furthermost stages of the malware. And your data is potentially at risk (hop on to #🧱︱mc-other-help )

[junior vortex]

do i keep the windows system thing that it has in there?

[granite otter]

question when I click on the scan and it doesn't detect anything should it pop up something or just stay the same

for the first tool

[potent zodiac]

same, it will tell you it didn't find anything

[clever storm]

Is there a difference between the tools listed on the website vs the one on the GitHub page they linked?

[granite otter]

oh nvm I just didn't look at the detection tool before I ran it lol

[potent zodiac]

yes there is, check the site for more details

[crimson vale]

Well someone got hacked in the Process. Can someone take care of that?

[acoustic cedar]

It dont work like that

[crimson vale]

Spamming wont help

[candid raft]

so that curseforge hack was real?

[granite otter]

yes

[candid raft]

how do i know that the article itself is legit like im not tryna download some tool that will actually give me the virus like reverse psychology

[granite otter]

click the link in news and check the url

[devout snow]

[clever storm]

I mean between the Windows link and the Github project*

[potent zodiac]

github project is to show the code working behind the tool, it is not compiled. The tool is the compiled executable

[acoustic cedar]

i am offially VIRUS FREEE QOWWOWPDWPWPWPWPWPWP

[granite otter]

nice

[terse marsh]

I can't get the second scanner to work, it just shows up in my downloads as "unconfirmed"

[crimson vale]

As unconfirmed Download or yeeted away because of your av?

[potent zodiac]

av thing, just say keep it

[granite otter]

you need to go into your downloads on your browser and save it

[terse marsh]

got it, thanks

[cedar narwhal]

It should be fine now right??

[potent zodiac]

yeah

[hallow lion]

why does my essential mod not work

[granite otter]

what version

[candid raft]

looks like im safe i think

[hallow lion]

here is log

[carmine gale]

Paste created of latest.log, uploaded by NotBenjyツ.

[granite otter]

I am not really to familar with fabric I am better with forge

is it just essential or other mods

[hallow lion]

it was working like 3 months ago when i used it

just essential, atleast thats the only thing i notice

[granite otter]

attempt reinstalling all the mods into a different profile

[hallow lion]

i just made the profile

[terse marsh]

I'm all clear, I think I'll be leaving now. Thanks for the help!

Hi guys, with all the malwares problem in the curseforge, anyone knows if downloading the modpacks with GDlauncher has any problems?

[young sedge]

Are there a new detection tool?

[young sedge]

am i safe i did everything and havent found anything mentioned in site

[rich flint]

#📢︱news

[young sedge]

Did inventory profile next infect? İ only had fabulously optimize

[rich flint]

Use the scan tools in news

[young sedge]

İ did both steps and all clean, i delete mods when i heard news

[rich flint]

Scan your OS to see if infected, scan mod files with other

[slate dock]

If I used the overwolf scanner on all my jars and it came back clean, is it safe to play again?

[rich flint]

Should be

[young sedge]

i detect these yesterday and deleted all ,

[green jetty]

Heyo, little awkward issue here, I had setuped my GH actions to automatically upload a new version and was testing that, but since new versions which hasn't finished processing doesn't seem to show up in the new CF site UI, I re-ran it a few times.

The processing seems to be pretty lengthy and I can't seem to delete files which are not yet processed, Do I just wait for all of them to get processed or is there a way to cancel the extra files (project id: 550257)

[rich flint]

Probably need to wait it out

[green jetty]

alright

Also is there any reason that only the legacy site's versions page shows processing files

[rich flint]

The new website is a WIP. Changes are in the pipeline some devs have hinted

I'd like to see filenames clearly and fully myself 🧐

[digital roost]

The scanners from the link in #📢︱news are save right?

[rich flint]

They are open source so anyone can view the code on the GitHub. It's overwolfs GitHub who owns curseforge - so same companies whose website and app you already likely use

[digital roost]

Yeah okay then I guess they're save and im all clean thanks :D

[surreal vapor]

yo is minecraft safe again

[nova valley]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/768367574001778729/1116443847220805633/image.png im downloading a modpack and its stuck here, any help?

[grand fox]

so if youre playing modded is it a good idea to always scan using the JAR scanner before launching with new mods

[inland harness]

Huh, stealthy.

[trim nova]

if the detector from overwolf tells you that you have no malware. that means that stage 1 and 2 are not present right?

[finite depot]

Your answer is in the first line of the TLDR in #📢︱news .

[finite depot]

There are two detection tools. The command line tool is for the stages > 0, the other one checks .jars for stage 0.

[serene island]

What can I do to be 100% safe, I have scanned and I have looked for the creation files and there is nothing, but I do have prominence modpack in my curseforge

[trim nova]

oh alright

[vestal ridge]

Who do I need to complain to to get a banner on the Mods page so that the casual user knows to scan their computer?

[slim obsidian]

what antivirus does detect it at this point in time?

[vestal ridge]

there is the scanning tool on the support page https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000228509-june-2023-infected-mods-detection-tool/

[slim obsidian]

I know but Inwas just wandering if my antivirus would detect it if I accidentally download a mod containing the virus

[vestal ridge]

no

that is why there is a specialized scanning tool

[nova valley]

is it a connection problem? would having a vpn work?

[slim obsidian]

I thought maybe some would detect it after some time

[vestal ridge]

by then it is to late, that is why I am salty that there isnt an announcement on the mods page

[inner ginkgo]

so my curseforge is loading inifinetly

[vestal ridge]

have you turned it off and turned it on again?

[inner ginkgo]

ye i have

[vestal ridge]

then I would use a different launcher, I use AT Launcher personally, and its really nice that they are relaying information to the casual user that uses their launcher.

[inner ginkgo]

ah temp down on my end ?

[vestal ridge]

no clue I stopped using the app years ago

ooooooh sweetie this is the wrong venue for that

[robust olive]

oh sorry

[vestal ridge]

https://github.com/fractureiser-investigation/fractureiser

no worries, I am not support, just a salty user about to go full Karen

[potent zodiac]

what for lol?!

[digital roost]

that is a lot of typing

[vestal ridge]

I am the only person in my friend group that knows anything about what is going on because I am hooked into the right discords, because I am a IT nerd. The casual user knows jack about what is going on. Until there is a banner on the Mods page where the casual user gets mods I am going to be salty. No one is going to check the announcements page, or twitter, until told to do so.

I am having to play tech support to 30 plus people because Curseforge is screwing up their messaging.

[potent zodiac]

well that is true!

[vestal ridge]

Who knows how many players don't know what is going on and will find out the hard way in the future because they don't know to scan their computer with the scanning tool and are left vulnerable. Not everyone is going to know where to be hooked in. This is a massive failure on proper messaging. So I want to see the manager! XD

[potent zodiac]

well they did mention that approx. 6K users have been affected potentially!

[digital roost]

I found about this because I was part of a discord server for a mc serv? Otherwise I wouldn't think of something like it

[vestal ridge]

As a tech person I am going to automatically increase that by a factor of 10 in an abundance of caution.

[potent zodiac]

Well I read it on ATLauncher and don't know what force compelled me to join their discord and I did and then got to know about it all in detail
then I guess I joined this Discord like yesterday

[vestal ridge]

The best way to protect yourself from malware is knowledge, if people don't know about the incident how are they supposed to protect themselves.

[digital roost]

I joined to stay up to date with this whole thing

[jade valve]

If I had downloaded Better MC Fabric instead of Forge would I still be able to play it? I scanned my PC and its not infected but I dont want it to be

[vestal ridge]

Litterally just joined the server to make noise so that hopefully someone working for curseforge will see this and know to take the causal user into account.

[split mesa]

Forge should def try to notify users on the platform itself not just through discord yeah

[vestal ridge]

I am not touching minecraft as a whole for the rest of the week.

[split mesa]

Minecraft is fine it’s separate from CF and CF should be fine now and you can always scan for peace of mind

[digital roost]

You can play offline?

[potent zodiac]

It's not exactly
Like yeah it is not primarily infected but if you are infected means you have infected files they infect minecraft jar as well

[vestal ridge]

Sure, but I am taking an abundance of caution as if you look up someone had infected files and the curseforge scanner did not detect it.

[potent zodiac]

doesn't matter

[split mesa]

Hmm fair

[digital roost]

I see

[split mesa]

Online vs online doesn’t affect files you already have downloaded

[vestal ridge]

I play safe for a reason, I am most likely not infected. But I would rather be safe than sorry.

[viral sluice]

Is file processing already works? How many hours it would be for new files in projects?

[jade valve]

so if I had scanned using both tools and it has no malware and Im using a very recent version of Better MC using curseforge offline would it be safe?

[potent zodiac]

The earlier stages of the mod doesn't require internet and the other stages don't rely on Minecraft's internet access, they access the system internet

[potent zodiac]

You can even play it online and it is safe, the packs are safe now

[digital roost]

Could Optifine get a malware like this ?

[empty root]

Got 2 questions related to the situation CurseForge and any other modding sites are enduring at the moment:

1. If I accidently run vanilla Minecraft launcher and updated it, would I get infected?
2. I happen to have CurseForge App start on startup every day up until this day when I knew CurseForge was infected by a malware but has no history of downloading any more mods in the past 5-6 months. Am I safe?

[potent zodiac]

if it is on your system and your system has infected mods then yes but Optifine itself doesn't have malware!

[digital roost]

I see

[split mesa]

No you’re fine, the malware was only downloadable through mods. If you’re playing vanilla the whole time in that time period you’re fine

[potent zodiac]

for the first question nope, for the second question yes

[viral sluice]

up

[high pier]

Is it now safe to download modpacks from curseforge and play it? I did check the mods in modpack index and it says it includes the mod: 'When Dungeons Arise' which is also there in the infected list. If not, is it safe to just delete only that mod and play it? (For Reference, Modpack Name - Create Stellar)

[potent zodiac]

what file processing are you talking about?

[vestal ridge]

1 . If you are not already infected, no. 2. Probably.
Run the scanner.

[potent zodiac]

no you can download those modpacks now as well, they have been cleared of malware

[high pier]

Ok thanks!

[split mesa]

Even if the scanner has a chance to miss some files I would still scan also

[potent zodiac]

what is your typing speed lol
You have been typing for so long and that's the only thing you wrote 😅 😂

[viral sluice]

minecraft modpack

[mint shoal]

Am I missing something? Why did the website get rid of the information as to what dependences a mod needs? It use to say it on the file details page

[potent zodiac]

no idea how long but it is a good idea to let it do it's thing and don't download unprocessed stuff

[vestal ridge]

Use AT Launcher, then you wont have to worry about it. @mint shoal

[potent zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/nodding-yes-approve-approval-i-approve-gif-6191609

[mint shoal]

No. Because you're missing the point.

[potent zodiac]

ATLauncher has been a blessing for me, it is just so good

[digital roost]

Is it safe to download Better MC Plus 1.16.5 rn?

[vestal ridge]

Oh no, I get the point, the interface for curse forge has been going downhill and I am salty.

[potent zodiac]

Yeah but the latest version only

[vestal ridge]

It makes modding so easy and I have been able to bring in so many people to modding because of its ease of use and interface.

[digital roost]

Ok thanks

[potent zodiac]

what are you talking about, it is so good now! Yeah it's search algo is messed up but still it UI looks good, personal opinions!

[errant wren]

does anyone know how to put bukkit/spigot plugins with a forge 1.19.2 server

[potent zodiac]

wrong channel, go to #🧱︱mc-other-help

[vestal ridge]

I don't count them blatantly lifting modrinths interface when they lift the lack of showing dependancies too.

[jade valve]

how can I get the latest whilst keeping my world on it? I downlaoded it like 2 days ago but it wont let me change the version higher

[vestal ridge]

Lol curseforge gets no slack from me until they PUT A FREAKING BANNER ON THE MODS PAGE ABOUT THE MALWARE INCIDENT.

[viral sluice]

Messages in this chat does not look like tech support..

[potent zodiac]

copy your world in a safe place (like your Documents folder or Desktop) then install the latest version of the modpack and then put your world back into the saves folder in the BetterMC instance

[empty root]

Just fyi for everyone who have curseforge app and forget to disable start curseforge app during startup, my scanner says it's safe

[potent zodiac]

well they have removed the mods already where would they put the banner?! 🤣

[vestal ridge]

Ugh yup, why would the causal user like to know to scan their computer to be safe, nope, ignorance is bliss.

[potent zodiac]

do you need help with something? people are ready to help!

[viral sluice]

still got no info 'bout current review status for new files

[errant wren]

noone is really responding in that channel

[potent zodiac]

well what you want to say is they need to put the malware thing in their header so that everyone can see!

[vestal ridge]

Banner/Header same thing I am in support not web development.

[potent zodiac]

I am sorry but I have no idea about this, but I am sure if you search it up on google you will find a really good and comprehensive guide for it!

[slim obsidian]

there is magma, but only for 1.19.3

[lyric linden]

Is it just me or is the curse forge app not displaying all of them because there is more on the site then app

[forest spindle]

Curseforge isnt opening for me has somebody got any idea how to fix it?

[slim obsidian]

what isnt it displaying?

have you tried reinstalling? It works for me

[forest spindle]

idk where to find the modpacks (im kinda dumb) and i dont want to lose the saves

[safe flint]

Anyone know why some of my modpacks crash 3-4 times before they actually works? Been having this issue with CF for a while just didn't bother to fix it until now.

[forest spindle]

ill try that

[slim obsidian]

default is user/curseforge/minecraft/instances

[forest spindle]

i already found it but thanks, it means a lot!

Hello! New to modpacks so bare with me. Friend and I are trying to install UVision modpack and we are both getting error "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."

I tried on another computer in my house and got the same error.

Checked around on Reddit but only people saying they also have the issue, no solution. Though the posts I saw were from a few years ago.

[slim obsidian]

could you put the entire error in a pastebin

[warm briar]

That in a tiny red box at the bottom is all that showed, though I'll look if there's an error log or something somewhere

[warm briar]

Also this happens with all modpacks I attempt to download^

[slim obsidian]

what server are you using?

[warm briar]

No server just yet - I'm just trying to install the local modpack. I've checked to make sure both minecraft and java are up-to-date as well

[digital roost]

does anyone know when the approving process files for modpacks is going to be up and running agian?

[slim obsidian]

I don't know how to fix it. Did it still do that after restarting you pc?

[warm briar]

Yes sadly, both of my PCs and also my buddy's PC. I've had issues connecting to sites before and it was because my PC's time was wrong and that has fixed it. Was wrong on my secondary PC but changing it did not fix the issue. Thank you for the reply though.

[potent zodiac]

it has been taken down
It's infected

[warm briar]

Oh wow, I guess I'll count myself lucky!! I tried TWO different modpacks both of which gave me that error. Unlucky choices I suppose lol

[potent zodiac]

check the #📢︱news and the fracturiser github repository!

[radiant summit]

I will start by saying I know I'm an idiot when it comes to anything computer related. ( I'm getting old ) That being said, what am I supposed to do with the Jar Malware Scanning tool file folder? The detection tool ran like expected but the Jar tool is a file folder. Again, sorry im an idiot with theese things.

[slim obsidian]

They should really show this on theire website. People should know why they can't download a modpack, etc.

[warm briar]

Agreed 🙂

Although I checked twitter and seems this is a new issue so understandable they won't have it up yet. Putting all their arms into fixing the issue first, which I highly respect.

[potent zodiac]

First of all it is completely fine nobody is supposed to know everything
Second I suppose you have downloaded the zip file and extracted it, then you are supposed to go into the extracted folder and then double click on the JarInfectionScanner.exe file, and then point it either to your minecraft directory or to your whole C: if you are skeptical

not really
If you use both tools, the jar scanner scans for infected mods files, the other one detects for the after effects of the infection(if you were infected)

[radiant summit]

Ah, Thank you 🙂

[potent zodiac]

FINALLY I am gonna head to bed and sleep like there is no tomorrow!!!

[digital roost]

@digital roostdoes anyone know when the approving process files for modpacks is going to be up and running agian?

[restive cairn]

guys, i had mods in a usb external memory. i downloaded them recently, and i wanted to know if im 100% safe if i run the .jar files scanner on that usb and it says no malware detected.

[earnest inlet]

Question, I noticed my Windows Firewall go off when I tried to install the detection tool you listed in the post about the Malware going on on MC, Its specifically calling it a Trojan. Are we sure the detection tool itself is safe?

Currently quite worried as creating modpacks have been a very fun free time activity for me and I am worried if its a False Positive its giving me for a Trojan from the Article's Tools you've provided or if something has gone very wrong.

[quasi tangle]

is approval taking longer because of the fracturiser malware?

[opal cipher]

Yes

Approvals were put on hold

And now they probably are asleep

[celest mulch]

Is it normal that when I press play the launcher that opens the curseforge app asks me for my minecraft account again?

[digital roost]

Hello you might have got this question already i m kinda nervous because i downloaded the Better minecraft modpack. Me and my friends didn t find "Microsoft Edge" folder. We deleted curseforge, overwolf and minecraft because we were scared (we will download them again once it s secure). But now i heard that we need to run the overwolf scanner but we didn t do it before. I don't know how to run the scanner also since i deleted curseforge minecraft idk if the scanner works or if i m safe.

[hollow hare]

Similar, if i deleted better mc, will i need to delete curseforge too

[sleek sapphire]

If you run the two scanners that Curseforge has posted and they say you're fine then you're good to go

[sleek sapphire]

No, Curseforge itself was not hacked

[hearty rampart]

Hey for some reason when i try to publish a modpack file this happens

[opal cipher]

That's a large file

Probably works in the backend, check the files before trying again

[golden ember]

i have a couple minecraft mods i was wondering when they would be updated to 1.20 or is that not how it works?

[opal cipher]

They will be updated, when the authors update the mods

[golden ember]

oh ok

[opal cipher]

CurseForge doesn't make any content, they just host it

[golden ember]

i didnt know how that works sry

[opal cipher]

No worries ^^

[hearty rampart]

I'll try another day =]

[sharp stream]

DAMN 411MBS???

[hearty rampart]

[inner ginkgo]

[opal cipher]

Maybe someone can help you, but I have to go to bed (almost midnight here)
