I had a cousin at one point that used one of these mods, they were 10 or 11 at the time and I don’t actually think that he was involved with a pyramid scheme, I think he solely took skyblock coins (probably like 10 or 20b) but he didn’t give any of the money to others just got his hands on the file and thought he could get good at his favorite game. Weird how 10 year olds can get their hands on RATS these days.

Almost fell victim to this. I was in a random dungeon hub and some rich duded partied me and started talking to me. Seemed like a nice guy. His profile looked somewhat suspicious (skills not correlating to his multiple black wither sets and other billion coin items), but he told me his friend gave it to him. I joined a discord call with him and his friend, and he nonchalantly started talking about auction flipper mods. He even allowed me to use his private one! Yes this was obvious retrospectively, but he was a Minecraft master of deception. I wasn't using forge at the time and hadn't had it downloaded so when he persistently tried to teach me how to, I finally became suspicious. I moved the mod into the folder, made an excuse and left the call, deleting the file before startup. Nearly lost 4b networth and a thousand hours of playtime, but he did teach me how to install forge so I guess that was a bonus. Don't do stupid stuff kids.

The biggest problem with Hypixel's attempted solution is that the Security Sloth NPC, for as important as it can be, can also be easily ignored. I think they can do a similar job to what Runescape did, a long time ago, in the "Stronghold of Security" dungeon. Make it so the NPC is the first thing the players talk to as they leave their private island, along with a short tutorial on account security and some questions about it. At the end of the guide, players could be rewarded with a special talisman, or something along those lines. It would make it so EVERYONE sees the information, but it isn't a waste of time. EDIT:I mentioned the Stronghold of Security to say that there should be an incentive to seeing trivia about account security, even if it's not going to be the same thing(The admins would not code a whole dungeon just with the intent of account security, probably)

Been here, done that. Malware and RATs were everywhere in the console modding scene, so that's why everyone knew to only get software from the dev's github. But if when you are exploiting a console you know the risks, I don't see why there isn't any system in place inside Forge or other mod loaders to restrict access to the entire computer.

@0xEmmy Жыл бұрын

Building a "sandbox" like that isn't exactly easy. Java code doesn't have a simple way to prevent other Java code in the same JVM process from doing things, short of asking nicely. To apply a sandbox, it'd have to use the operating system. Thing is, operating systems are designed to sandbox entire processes. So the sandbox would cover all of Minecraft. Which could break things in unpredictable ways. Games with official modding support, have systems baked into the core of the game itself, to limit the mod's effects to things a mod should access. But this would require two JVM processes instead of one - there'd be a process for interacting with the outside world, and another for running the game. That's a MAJOR change to the way things work. Major enough, that you can't do it by just patching the JAR file - you'd also have to patch the launcher, and rework saving and loading and networking and texture packs and probably a whole bunch of things I have yet to consider. Fortunately, there's already a solution. You can build the sandbox yourself, outside of Minecraft. Install it in a container or VM, and you control the connections between the container/VM and the outside world. There are entire operating systems (Qubes is probably the best example) dedicated to making this entire process easier. But the fundamentals are readily available on Windows, Mac and Linux.

After redownloading the mod he obviously got hacked but after a few hours he got access to the ratters PC. And doxed him. Idk what he did but what I think is he coded a "mod" after getting hacked the ratters probably did something to activate the mod/code and got access to their PC Holy crap that was alot I'm not 100% sure about this story cuz my cousin was drunk last time he told me about that story buti hope it's somewhat accurate to understand

I'd like to add an important thing. Even installing addons from official sources isn't completely safe. If they use a shared third party library as part of the addon, that library can end up being an attack vector as part of a supply chain attack. It's surprisingly common for software packages to get attacked like this, so making sure you are careful about what you download, even legitimate mods is important. My biggest suggestion though is starting out, confirm the md5 checksum of the file you downloaded and compare it to an official md5 if listed. if you can get in contact with the mod author and they don't have an md5 listed for downloads, ask if one can be listed. Not only will this make sure you actually downloaded it correctly, but this will also help you identify any malicious versions of the mod floating around. That checksum is essentially a representation of all the data in the jar file. It's derministic in that files that are identical will have the same checksum. Now, things called collisions can happen, but they're VERY rare. Two files accidentally having a colliding hash is a very rare chance, roughly 1 in 340282366920938463463374607431768211456. If you check both the file size and the md5 checksum, and both match up, you've got the real deal and you're almost guaranteed safe.

CORRECTION: Chrome's passwords are NOT STORED UNENCRYPTED on your computer. They are stored in the database file, but that file is encrypted. However, email addresses are unencrypted. It also definitely helps brute-forcers because they don't have to worry about websites locking them out after a certain number of login attempts, they can just brute-force the list of passwords until the password is cracked.

The most common filetypes of viruses ARE .exe's and .jar but many hackers can find ways around this or obfuscate(make it hard to find) the file type, so the general rule of thumb should be: Be careful of any download, and if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely isn't true

I wasnt scammed a lot of times, one time for around 10m when I was a dumb kid, and recently for 150m+ (more embarrasing than frustrating ngl). I was supposed to give a collat to reforge a drill and it turns out the drill costs 20m instead of what I was told (i checked on ah, the problem is that the drill has way too many stats and stuff on it so you cant even see the name). The worst part is not that I lost the money, the actual worst part is that the scammer was proud of himself, like he accomplished something in life (im assuming he has done it his whole life based on is net worth). And then he proposed a ransom, he would by back from me the drill for 40m instead of 20m, but I just told him to fr*ck off, and I kept the drill as a reminder of humanity's heartlessness... (im not sure how much the drill will sell for, i didnt even bother to check, besides, who knows how many people were scammed with that drill) Moral of the story: humans are trash and you shouldn't trust anyone... THE END

I’ve been discord staff for many months now and the amount of RAT reports we had has been going up and up and up.. It’s scary how many people get tricked by this. From what I’ve seen, it’s common especially for chest clients to be ratted. Those mods in general are more shady and it’s common that they are being send around in dms. I hope that this video helps to spread the message because it’s tragic how many people loose so much time, money and data to these criminals. One thing that I think is important to note is that there are also tons of smaller coders that use simple code to rat just a few people. They pop up randomly and then get cancelled. It could be anyone since it’s not that hard to create a malicious file if you really want to. Stay save everyone.

You didn't explain the .jar thing that well so a .JAR file is a Java Executable to which Java code compiles into. A .JAR file is unlike a .EXE, because a .JAR file is executed by a Java runtime unlike a .EXE which is ran by the operating system. The AutoFlipper jar file is an actual mod, but it just runs a Java malware instead of modifying the game.

I really wish there was an official, in minecraft mod downloader like there is for terraria. It would make combating these kinds of things easier for so many reasons (for example, mods could no longer be sent in discord or on youtube videos. It would be easier to verify if it's the legit mod or a copy with a virus. There could be proper moderation, although I don't think microsoft would care enough (even though they don't care enough to make this system in the first place.) It's possible a like system could be added so if enough trustworthy people have likes on a mod it's more likely to be trustworthy. Maybe the mods could even be changed in a way so that it's either really difficult or impossible to use them as rats. Idk actually know how much of this is actually possible though I'm not at all qualified)

I recently got ratted too. A random guy partied me and he just wanted help. It was really suspicious but i have this thing that i just want to be nice to people and i don't want to be rude. I just helped him with something and he wanted to pay me. I asked if i could be paid in knowledge, because that is all i wanted, to get better at skyblock. He told me to flip and that he uses an autoflipper to make 30m/h. I know it was sus but he didn't just straight up send me a file. It was a 3 month old github page. I downloaded the mod, decompiled it, in the mod nothing seemed to be malicious, i couldn't find anything. I opened minecraft with the mod and then it was just the cofl mod. I didn't knew the cofl mod so i thought it was something special. But when i realized, i was too late. The guy got my session id and my ip address. He sent my my name and address on discord and i got really scared. Luckly, he didn't get any passwords but he probably took everything from my 4 yo profile and then deleted it. I also got banned on hypixel, i don't know what he did. I have this thing that i just want to help everybody and just be nice to people. It also means im naive and its easy to manipulate me. I don't get what these people try to do. Does it entertain them? Manipulating, scaring, and ruining years of work of just children? I really don't know. Sorry for typing such a long thing but it also helped my express my feelings a bit. If you read this to this point i sincerely thank you and i just hope that you will have a good day :)

These rats are usually not obfuscated (aka the code is readable and easy to understand) and you can run them through a decompiler to see the actual src. Sometimes the rats are well obfuscated and as you said create a copy of themselves on a victims computer. These are the scarier ones and is often **Impossible** to find on a normal computer. Please Never ever download any mod from sources that are unofficial or "trusted".
