For those uninitiated, goatse is the nickname for a NSFW jumpscare. In the past, addon creators for GMod were hacked and had their addons infected with it. Leading to unsuspecting players getting a rude awakening. Furthermore the addon would have a text file full of insults directed at Valve, the GMod community and the person reading. As far as we know, the culprit is a Russian player who has been banned from the workshop because they started infecting their own addons. It is speculated due to the text to be in protest against the West's sanctions against Russia but all of this is speculation, so take it with a grain of salt!

So far the addons that have been updated today and/or are confirmed infected are from the user "boss gerald"

If you play GMod, check your addons. If they were updated today, they are very likely infected.

-Go to GMod in your Steam library
-Click on "Workshop"
-Hover over "Your Files"
-Click "Subscribed Content"
-The third tab has an area highlighted in blue, this is your filter settings, change it to "Last Updated"

Stay safe!
