Dont use curseforge anymore.

For downloading game mods: If it's Minecraft, use Modrinth instead, for any other games use gamebanana or nexusmods.

The original tweet appears to have been deleted. and im unable to find it on Archive.org, but the tweets are still indexed by google.

There as been a security vulnerability in the CurseForge and Bukkit platform. It has been suspected that someone got into alot people's accounts, and updated their mods to include Malware. [source]

Do NOT suspect that older mods and modpacks are safe, as this malware has been found in older mods as well. If you have updated a few mods from curseforge very recently click the source link and it will tell you if it is one of the known mods/plugins to be compromised.
