Hey, just wanted to warn everyone about a new mod virus on the Ready Or Not Mod.io webpage. The name of the mod is called Joker Avatar and I unfortunately fell victim to it. Being relatively new to modding in this game I was a bit careless and clicked on the .exe file the mod came with. Unfortunately I fell victim to a discord token grabber and had my account compromised with the virus sending $10 nitro gifts to an unknown receipts on my account.

Just wanted to gives you guys a heads up about this, and if you have experienced something similar please let me know/help me out. Also please report the mod on Mod.io if possible to prevent future victims. (Again the name of the malicious mod is Joker Avatar)

Edit: looks like the mod listing might have been taken down! Thanks you everyone for helping! If possible try to point out other suspicious mods if possible to make the community safer!

Edit 2: I’ve talked to someone who knows his stuff and apparently this malicious program is something called a Redline Stealer.

Hey just an update on this.

This mod contained an Exe which specifically logged into discord and attempted to exploit the user. It was scanned but it’s not an detected as a virus, as it’s specifically crafted to use discord.

As a word of warning, do not run exes from unverified mods.

Also, Ready or Not will not specifically run any executables, and only loads contents from pak files.

Ok thanks, but I find it strange how the modding manager implemented into the game even allowed this file upload in the first place. Seems like a big risk for potential users. Maybe you guys should adapt nexus instead of Mod.io

There are valid reasons for Exe files to be apart of mods.

I don’t believe using other mod managers would fully eliminate these kinds of issues.
