Basically someone compromised the downloads of the mod project, hiding malware that targeted “Exodus” crypto wallets. At least a few people got their wallets drained.
Just a friendly reminder that it’s probably a good idea to keep your financial stuff on a separate computer, so the dumpster fire of untrusted code on your gaming PC can’t do anything meaningful.
