Final Fantasy XIV mod Gshade contains malware, developer admits
The creator of a popular but unauthorised Final Fantasy XIV mod has admitted to including malware that can shut down a user's PC. Gshade, a mod that allows users to tinker with the MMORPG's visuals, contains code that restarts a PC if the mod is used in other capacities, such as the creation of additional mods that could alter gameplay dynamics.
