A user named VitaminX uploaded bitcoin miner attached to an installed for BG3. The admins removed the upload after community protests went viral, but VitaminX is for some reason not banned.

Is the site compromised? Was VitaminX splitting the profits with a rogue admin?

    He actually was on the 1337x comment section defending himself and at a point he said he downloaded it from [Russian website] and only repacked it. He said we could go download it from there if we didn’t trust him, but I also got a virus warning from that one…

      So he “repacked” it and either A. Was dumb enough to not verify wtf he was repacking, or B. Intentionally added the miner.

      Don’t look like a real smart cookie with either option lmfao
