<p>A malicious user has created several accounts and uploaded projects containing malware to the platform.</p>
<p>Separately a user belonging to Luna Pixel Studios (LPS) was hacked and was used to upload similar malware.</p>
<p>CurseForge has banned all accounts relevant to this and disabled the LPS one as well. They are in direct contact with the LPS team to help them restore their access.</p>
<p>To be clear CurseForge is not compromised. No admin account was hacked.</p>
<p>CurseForge has made a Detector Tool that will enable you to check whether you have been compromised by any of the projects containing said malware.
