This is why I don't download game mods. Another backdoor has been found, this time in a popular modular for City Skylines 2 by paradox games. Checkout what happened in this video.

What's the name of the mod?

Paradox posted this the other day: https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/cities-skylines-ii/news/traffic-breach-statement

I think it's just called "Traffic"? It's still early days for CS2 mods, not that weird for a mod to have such a generic name.
