CurseForge Malware Alert Scan Your Device
Summary
Shulkercraft alert: CurseForge and some mods may be distributing the 'fractureiser' malware. The announcement links a Prism Launcher warning and advises all members to scan devices and remove infected .jar files. This matters to the community because mods and modpacks can carry malware and require full PC cleaning if infected.
FYI, for the more technical members here, this might be an interesting article as well.
This article also has a list of mods, however, I'm not sure how well or recent it has been updated.
CurseForge has been cleaned however scanning your computer/laptop/device is still strongly advised!
if the virus is found, you must clean your whole PC from .jar files as they will also be infected. You can do this through the software linked.
