Funny thing is I downloaded Better MC about half an hour after this was announced... ig when I get to my PC I'll delete it. From now on I'm using Modrinth
check for infection too. Fractureiser (the "official" name of the malware) has the ability to spread to other mods
I looked up on here and holy shit. Thankfully I installed on Flatpak so my filesystem should be unaffected(the app only has read only access to downloads).
Maybe this is a good moment to clear my PC from sensitive information xD
I should stop being lazy and using
nix run.I've heard good things about Nix, but it uses systemd and I'm too stubborn to change from my Artix runit setup
Quick update: it appears I actually haven't been infected. I even scanned with a fractureiser detector from github and nothing showed up. And yesterday I even ran Better MC, so I think my instance is actually safe.
just make sure not to fetch any updates
This is not necessarily related to mod distribution platform (it was a malware, not Curseforge compromise), but I guess Modrinth has better moderation.
