If you say enough batshit crazy stuff then sooner or later you’re going to get something right by accident.
can anyone confirm this tho? havent found anything out of the ordinary with the only 2 releases on 1337x (.to that is)
as per lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/1585338, yes, its fairly easy to confirm. though there probably were multiple uploads for the game, of which only the one from “VitaminX” should be infected (unless others reuploaded that one as well).
at the end of the day, why bother with these weird reuploads and repacks from unknown nobodies. get your repacks from dodi and fitgirl who’re comparatively trustworthy, and have been for many years. or skip the repack alltogether and get the DRM-free files from gog-games.
bit of a stretch to say it’s unsafe.
I guess I need to point out the tweet that OP posted was on about 1337 which is what I was on about not the BG3 download. the perfectly safe content far outweighs any bad content ( I have yet to see someone hide a miner in a movie for example)
So it creating an exe and hiding it from the task manager is fairly normal then? From the screenshots another bloke pasted on here, that looks pretty suspicious
it really isnt a stretch. as soon as the moderation team of the website doesnt care about, or even protects, the first malware infected torrent - none of the torrents can be trusted anymore.
i for one will not will not get torrents from 1337x anymore, unless I’ve been sent to a specific one from a trusted external source (like game repackers, who do host their torrents on 1337x from time to time). the risk is simply too high, and there are better sources for games and movies anyways,
For anyone who’s wondering, I saw within the first few hours there were comments mentioning the weird installer and malware fuckery. The account was VitaminX which I think has since been deleted EDIT THE ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN DELETED. Screenshots xposted from a different forum
Dodi repack is up. Anybody getting anything from IGG or any of the usual names deserves what they get imo. Dodi/fitgirl repacks or go next
