Hey everyone. I know this site generally has a good reputation and I appreciate the effort people put into maintaining the project, but there is a major security issue going on right now that you need to be aware of.
Whenever I open the a certain page on the website, my CPU (a Ryzen 9 9900X) instantly jumps from 10% to over 60% usage across all cores. There is also a massive amount of RAM being consumed by a single background process just for keeping that one tab open.
(See the attached screenshots of my Task Manager and browser processes).
Based on this behavior, it strongly looks like there is a hidden cryptomining script (cryptojacking) currently running on the site's pages.
To make matters worse, an archive I downloaded from them recently the game from the suspicious page and it really seems to contain a verified active Trojan (Trojan:Win32/Suschil!rfn) that created hidden scheduled tasks and added Windows Defender exclusions on my PC. I can't be a 100% sure it was it but I have had issues shortly after that game installation.
Moreover, after posting a comment on the site explaining the issue, my comment was deleted...
It's very possible the site got compromised recently without the admins knowing. However, until this is officially addressed and cleaned, I strongly recommend avoiding the site. Stay safe!
