So, a few weeks or months ago, I can’t remember. I heard that a virus was discovered in some mods like betterminecraft at platforms like curseforge. I rember watching some videos on YouTube of youtubers like PhoenixSC. And I said to myself “well, then I’ll just wait until this is solved”. And this morning I wanted to install some mods but remembered this virus thing. Is this already solved? Can we download mods once again?

    On curseforge at least, the compromised mods were removed and the authors of them banned; there’s also a scanner available from their website to check your pc for the malware

    As long as you stick to reputable mod sources, you should be fine
