When modding a game you must get the mods from a trusted source but even then .. have any of you ever run into a mod for a game you play that had malware in it?
I used to run a few mods on my WoW account back in the day including at least one he mentioned but never had any issues and never had an account stolen. But back then I did not worry about these risks as I wasn't into security yet (well, very little back then. I was aware but not truly aware of the extent of its reach).
And the background mining I had mentioned before but did not know was a thing until this year.
