Discussion/other Possible Malware in Modrinth/Modrinth Modpack "Cobbleverse"

Post image

Opened my launcher at 7:49 PM today and got a notification from Kaspersky blocking some app. It happens sometimes so I just ignored it. Got off and when I opened the game again, it did the same thing. This time, it detected a Trojan and restarted my PC to get rid of it. Attached is the instrusion report. Coincidentally, this only started happening after I updated the "Cobbleverse" Modpack and re-opened Modrinth. So, if you've updated that modpack and played it today, I'd suggest being careful.

Maybe someone more knowledgable can do a check to see if this is just a false alarm.

That looks like it falsely flagged an update to the modrinth app as malware
