This is why I don’t download game mods. Another backdoor has been found, this time in a popular modular for City Skylines 2 by paradox games. Checkout what happened in this video.

Tldr: it’s a crypto wallet stealer.
Always be wary of unknown code. Check comments on sites like Nexus. Run installers through virus checks.

If I understand it correctly from the reddit post, this was a popular mod, that you could get directly in-game, so probably available through the Steam Workshop or something. In that case you assume everything is fine and don’t really check out, if there’s something wrong.

It is a CS2 mod – CS2 lacks Steam Workshop support. Paradox did not put it in, in favor of their own mod platform.
There was a lot of beef about the lack of workshop support, but it means it was on Paradox’s platform, if anything.

Man if that’s the case, that really sucks.
