What?

fractureiser is a virus found in several Minecraft projects uploaded to CurseForge and BukkitDev. The malware is embedded in multiple mods, some of which were added to highly popular modpacks. The malware is only known to target Windows and Linux.

If left unchecked, fractureiser can be INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS to your machine. Please read through this document for the info you need to keep yourself safe.

We' this malware fractureiser because that's the name of the CurseForge account that uploaded the most notable malicious files.

Current In Status

The fractureiser event has ended — no follow-up Stage0s were e and no further e of activity has been discovered in the past 3 months.
A third C&C was ne up to our knowledge.

A copycat malware is still possible — and likely ine — but *fractureiser* is dead. Systems that are already infected are still cause for concern, and the below user documentation is still relevant.

Follow-Up Meeting

On 2023-06-08 the fractureiser Mitigation Team held a meeting with notable members of the community to discuss pre measures and solutions for future problems of this scale.
See this page for the agenda and minutes of the event.

BlanketCon Panel

emilyploszaj and jaskarth, core members of the team, held a panel at BlanketCon 23 about the fractureiser mitigation effort. You can find a recording of the panel by quat on YouTube.

Additional Info

We' receiving new unique samples, so the sample submission inbox is closed. If you would like to get in contact with the team, please shoot an email to .

If you copy portions of this document elsewhere, *please* put a prominent link back to this GitHub Repository somewhere near the top so that people can read the latest updates and get in contact.

The only official public channel that this team ever used for coordination was #cfmalware on EsperNet. *We have no affiliation with any Discord guilds.*

Do not ask for samples. If you ha and credentials, that's great, but we have no way to this without using up tons of our team's limited time. Sharing malware samples is dangerous, e people who know what they're doing.
