Malware discovered in two popular ‘Schedule 1’ mods

Schedule 1 has quickly risen to be one of the most popular multiplayer games on Steam right now. Naturally, this has also led to a slew of mods for the game being released. Unfortunately, bad actors have been inserting malware into some of these mods. 

The Schedule 1 community team has posted an urgent PSA to the game's subreddit (via The Gamer), confirming that malware has been found in a number of mods, including some of the most popular mods, like the increased stack size limit mod.

It was found that the developer of the increased stack size limit mod, Froggyp1, sold their account to someone who replaced their original mod with one containing a Trojan virus. The Backpack Mod Reupload mod was also discovered to contain malware and has since been removed by Nexusmods.

If you've been playing this game and have installed mods, be sure to check the subreddit in case any more mods are discovered to be housing malware.

KitGuru Says: This is a good reminder to always be careful when downloading mods. Just because a mod is popular doesn't necessarily mean it isn't hiding anything nefarious underneath.
