Hi Juila, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

As per post from CurseForge, they have already fully addressed the security incident, so it is now safe. They have cleaned the infected files and preventive measures are in place.

They have also provided a tool to scan if you're infected.

There are also alternative sites like*<Removed by Moderator>* to download mods. Just to be safe, never trust a .exe file when downloading mods as they should be packaged as .jar files.

Another layer of security is to scan the links and files first in VirusTotal
