Malicious Steam Mod Triggers Save-Wipe in People Playground
Kotaku reports that a malicious add-on in People Playground’s Steam Workshop began replacing other mods and wiping players’ saves and achievements, prompting a patch and a temporary disablement of Workshop features. Players who downloaded mods are urged to wipe their mod lists to remove the infection, which infected a top-rated mod and spread quickly. The malware targets in-game data rather than PCs and this incident follows earlier Steam Workshop security breaches in Cities: Skylines and Slay the Spire.
