Curseforge with the malware again? It’s not the first time I’ve heard this, suspect it’s not the last. It seems that they specify Minecraft, which makes sense as it’s a JAR game with all the vulnerabilities that brings, but could this potentially affect other games they host mods for?
At least we have Modrinth as a functional alternative in the meantime. Modrinth has been my first choice but it’s still missing a lot of big-name projects.
for the longest time Modrinth didn’t have creator monetization, so there was no way for creators to make money off of ads. that kept many modders on Curseforge, but since Modrinth implemented creator monetization months ago, modders have slowly been mirroring to Modrinth
I suspect Minecraft specifically is targeted because it’s insanely popular and people download mods willy-nilly for it. But maybe mods for other popular games could be compromised as well? I speculate.
