A new multi-stage malware campaign is targeting Minecraft users with a Java-based malware that employs a distribution-as-service (DaaS) offering called Stargazers Ghost Network.
"The malware was impersonating Oringo and Taunahi, which are 'Scripts and macros tools' (aka cheats). Both the first and second stages are developed in Java and can only be executed if the Minecraft runtime is installed on the host machine."
This is a slow-news-day story and affects neither you nor anyone you care about.

As usual, these hacks target idiots using cheats and aimbots, downloading them from a fake repository on Github directly, which is no different than downloading an exe. 99.99% of Minecraft mods are fine, so is Prism, so is Modrinth.
