GMOD EXPLOIT GOING AROUND

Post by Oneleg »

I would strongly advise shutting down your Garrysmod server, or kicking every one then proceeding to lock it. As there is an exploit going around right now that allows users to get your RCON password, then upload a file that infects connected clients.

The infected client begins to spam the word "cough", if you've been on a server and you've seen people saying this, or you see people saying this on your server - turn off your server, and check your Gmod. As there is a chance it may have corrupted your Garrysmod, and it might require it to be reinstalled.

Some people are also saying if you are infected, the hackers can get your Steam login information. As some people have reported their Steam wallets, and Steam Inventories being emptied.
