A user named VitaminX uploaded bitcoin miner attached to an installed for BG3. The admins removed the upload after community protests went viral, but VitaminX is for some reason not banned.

Is the site compromised? Was VitaminX splitting the profits with a rogue admin?

    1337 should be used with extreme caution. The fact that admins are removing negative comments even makes that a useless method of gauging file safety.

    But of course, any tracker can have malware in their software bundles, and you should treat all with caution, especially public-facing ones. But I personally will be avoiding 1337 from hereon, for sure.
