Hacked Procedure with Curse

How does curse handle software found to have keyloggers and other malware in it? Do they post a list of the most recently reported anywhere? I just got hacked and I want to find out if one of my downloads here delivered the payload, because this is the ONLY site I get my mods and UIs from.

All of my mods are from your Top 50 list, so if I got it, others did too

You need to tell *US*. The only way in which you could be hacked from an addon is is you downloaded one that required you click on an exe, bat or com file. If you did not download any files that require you to do so, you were not hacked via a download from this site.

Cool, That did not happen, and I would not have installed a mod that required such, and I'm pretty sure none of the mods in your Top 50 list require one to do such.

But once you know, what do you do with that information?

Don't you think you should then put up a warning list?

"anyone who downloaded X mod between Z and F date may be compromised, please delete G files, reboot, then change your password"

Then people can go through that list daily and see if they got one of the few bad apples that managed to get on your site?

Just wondering what your SOP is once you have been alerted to malware being added to your site.

I can't imagine that list would be more than 1 or 2 per week.

When we get a report of an addon like that, the addon is removed from Curse and a post is made here about it.
