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
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
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.
This is not necessarily related to mod distribution platform (it was a malware, not Curseforge compromise), but I guess Modrinth has better moderation.

check for infection too. Fractureiser (the “official” name of the malware) has the ability to spread to other mods

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
