[EXTREMELY OUTDATED][PSA]: NSFL loud scream popup is being caused due to a stolen account with popular addons [GLue, view extension, between others]

[Spacy]

This post essentially serves as nothing but an outlook on the old case. If anything else pops up like this, this is not the place to look for

What happened?

the owner of a few addons (notably Glue and View Extensions) has been hacked and their addons replaced to display NSFL alongside constantly printing an edgy message and playing a loud sound whenever you do any sort of input ingame

How to check if i'm affected?

First, type the next command, it will take a while (specially if you have a big chunk of addons) so be patient

map_background gm_construct

This will start a game session whilst not putting you ingame, you won't be able to do any inputs in any way so the NSFL pop-up will not trigger, now type the next command

lua_find ♥♥♥♥

if "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ - (boolean - true)" is outputted anywhere that means one of your subscribed addons is one of the affected ones

How do i get rid of this?

Uninstall from ALL of these addons if you happen to be subscribed to any of them as they're the ones that were affected, i'm not sure if there's more of these and if there is please tell me so i can add them here

UPDATE: Infected addons are gone! make sure you run "menu_cleanupgmas" just to be sure that everything is gone

Update 2: apparently the same thing is going on with addons uploaded by someone by the name of "yeahyeahhi", no clue if it's related in any way, but giantic heads up when subbing to addons, here's the guy's addons https://steamcommunity.com/id/flusak1235/myworkshopfiles/?p=4

I'm really glad I found this. Pretty much all the discussion surrounding this situation has been no useful information at all. I kinda wish the links themselves actually had the title of the infected mods, maybe next to it, also of course "the f word", but this is more than most people are willing to put in the effort for. Kudos.

i have heard the creator have a temper tantrum that lead into this because steam moderation keep trying to strike its mods but others again saying Addon creator got hacked, but thank god it isnt a infection, even although it was a questionable move by the Add-on creator who add Go.atse image, but damn.

TIny annoucement. A very smart man has made a script which breaks the goatsee,oddkast and other script viruses. Its better to be safe even if the addons are removed because it might be back for a second round. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2816428662

[Vedolre]

has anyone archived the screamer update on those add-ons?

[sudo64]

since im paranoid, im afraid if this affects TF2 or Left 4 Dead, probably not

[ymo]

the virus is LUA code, l4d2 and tf2 and literally every other source game dont support lua, and its just a amatuer bad script, its not a virus its just malware

it's not even malware, it was just there to affect your gui
it doesn't really do anything besides that

[Cyrus Stryker]

imagine being so petty over a steam ban that you put a Goatse screamer in your mods. it's pathetic

You better replace the images and audio or else that prank isn't very funny

that was the plan really, to make a mod that would jumpscare my friends like the glue library addon but minus the "IMAGE"
