Hey guys I think there’s a weird virus in all my FTB modpacks NOT CLICKBAIT

So I recently downloaded a modpack allegedly by FTB, from a really shady website full of ads and spam (I think it was called “Curseforge” or something), and I checked the mod files to make sure my favorite mod, Create, was in there.

It was, but there was something else in there, a really weird file named “ftb-auxilium”.

“Oh cool, they make mods too”, I thought. I googled it, and I can’t find a download for it, which is really suspicious. Not even on that weird site. There’s not even that much discussion of it on Reddit, which you’d think a weird mystery file would have people talking.

I dunno what else to do, so I opened it in WinRar, and I got to see all the files inside. Eventually, I found a file that I could actually read in English (and another in Chinese I think). It talks about how it sends all the data about your game to some server, including launcher, the pack, and how long you played.

I hoped this was just because of the shady website, so I redownloaded my copy of Stoneblock 4 from the official FTB website. It still has this “ftb-auxilium” in it. I opened FTB Genesis. That also has the file. Every pack in the website is corrupted with this weird privacy exploit.

If someone who knows how computer work could tell me how the code of it works, I’d like to know, but it’s really scary that someone added this to every modpack without telling anyone, and I wanna know who did this, or what this file actually does, because I don’t trust the words in the en_us lang file to explain the code.

Also I put it into my Sega Genesis and it started leaking hyperrealistic blood or whatever I dunno this framing device sucks
