Uh oh, what other games on Steam have had malware, does anyone know?

I vividly recall GMod ("vinh'll fix it").

Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, if you have the mod installed but you didn't launch it on Christmas Day during that window you're fine? Or should I just change my passwords?

[-] Crimsonknee@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

That's correct. They put out a pretty specific guideline for risk of being affected and basically if you didn't touch the mod during that time you're fine.

[-] PenguinTD@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

just change if you have said mod.

Can't hurt to change password
