Video Description:


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.

    Steam has some basic scans, but nothing special. This kind of thing happened before, with mods and even games.

      I would assume so. Did this happen in Steam Workshop?

        Yes. Apparently there were enough mods like this, that someone made a list to unsubscribe from them:

        Also, this time it’s the first Cities Skyline, I don’t know of any other games, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

          There were rumours about one for rimworld but I’m not sure if it was real or on steam.
