Resource pack malware?!


NoTolerance

Recommended Posts

So I saw a server in MH (it’s called FreeeOp50 i think, join at your own risk) that apparently gives you OP if you join it, and so I joined it cause why not.

Well… when I joined it gave me a message saying “Any functionality that requires custom resources might not work as excepted” followed by two options “Proceed” and “Disconnect”.
I pressed proceed then saw this big title text saying something like“YOU GOT MALWARE,    NICE IP” and promoting their discord server. Could it have possibly REALLY downloaded any malware on my PC? Or is it just a troll seeking attention? Anyways, I immediately went into the server texture packs folder in .minecraft and deleted everything there. Am I safe? Can a server resource pack actually download viruses on your PC?
Thanks in advance.

Heyo!

Thanks for letting us know about this.

We've been aware of this issue and this server has been dealt with. 

Glad to know that you've deleted everything when this happened.

Suspicious servers advertised by bot is not an ideal server so I suggest to not join them. Also, you can get a new IP by resetting your router. Use a website like https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to check if your IP address has changed.

With that being said, I'll be closing this thread.
