Store.steampowered.com : Hi everyone. You might have noticed the Workshop has disappeared again. I disabled it quite a few hours ago due to yet another malicious mod. This one is especially bad.
If you have mods and opened the game on 21 September, in between 6 and 8 PM CEST, you might want to run an anti-virus scan.Delete all your mods in your mods folder and do not open the game until I’ve announced on Steam that it’s safe to do so.
I can’t say with certainty what exactly happened or what this program did, but it’s not looking good. From what I can tell, it will do the following:- Permanently wipes a considerable amount of your personal data- Vandalises your Steam config and Steam cloud data (inventory, workshop, etc.) for various other games- Reads your Discord username and other identifiable information and publishes it to the Workshop (which is now disabled and can no longer be read)- Publishes itself to the Workshop in order to spreadIt DOES NOT steal your passwords, tokens, cookies, or other credentials. It will not hack you, but it’s a catastrophic piece of malware nonetheless.
