I got these off the steam workshop off the popular section not new and my my best guess was mabye it was something to do with using the game files as they all use "fildeinfo" but am also worried it could be a large scale attack

the kind of ware you'd love, it could love you back. but this is ware, at the end of the day regardless of it being maleware or femaleware, it will steal your credentials and run away.

hey, it's a possibility that someone can do something bad to you, but it doesn't necessarily mean they WILL do it.

p.s when i said maleware and femaleware, they're both malware, i wasn't specifically referring to guys or girls D:

If they are reputable and by the offical creators, no, they are not maleware.

Well the thing is I think it is a recent problem because I have only now seen people talking about it and one guy said it was fine another said he got his telegram hacked

By that specific mod? Some workshop mods will have malware, it's not common, but it can happen. Just verify reputation.

Sadly for ppg, there have been two self spreading workshop viruses. I assume the warnings were turned up due to that. Apparently some larger mod makers were affected.

How do you hack a telegram, and why are people still using them anyway?

This is usual on people playground, the latest patch prob fixed the virus threats, the only known actions those did was corrupt saves (correct me if wrong). Check workshop comments (latest ones are more important). Most likely safe, this is common.

It definitely says fieldinfo what tf is fildeninfo

It means somewhere in the code it's calling for "FieldInfo" which PPG has determined can possibly be malicious.
