    Basically, I'm going to copy and paste a thread from Hypixel and OCN. Why am I stating this? It's for your own security and you're about to see why.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Although this mod has been red-flagged by us as one which you cannot use (until further notice, at least), you shouldn't be using it at all, since it has some concerns regarding security.
    TL;DR of this Hypixel's post:

    • The Mod sends your Minecraft session token to a remote server operated by them.
      What does this mean? Basically, they "reroute" your login token to their servers first, so therefore, they could be able to use it. In other words, they can steal your account's login abilities.
    As the original topic says, anybody is accusing the mod author(s) of having malicious intentions, but this is definitely a risk I wouldn't take.

    • The Mod contains functionality that allows any files to be downloaded from a remote server to the user's computer without consent as well as some files being uploaded from the users computer.
    This also doesn't mean that it's implemented with malicious intents. It could very easily be a function to download updates and upload crash logs, but it's there.

    Español:
    Aunque este mod ha sido calificado como un mod que no se puede usar (al menos hasta nuevo aviso), no lo deberíais estar usando en ningún caso, ya que tiene ciertas preocupaciones en relación a su seguridad. Este post es la versión corta deeste post de Hypixel:

    • El mod envía tu token de sesión de Minecraft a su servidor remoto operado por ellos.
      ¿Qué significa? Básicamente, desvían tu token de login a sus servidores antes de que llegue a al servidor al que te vas a conectar. Por lo tanto, cabe la posibilidad que lo puedan usar, y por lo tanto entrar a un servidor como tú.
    Como dice el post original, nadie está acusando al autor/es de tener malas intenciones, pero definitivamente, este en un riesgo el cual no tomaría.

    • El mod contiene funcionalidad que permite que cualquier archivo se descargue a tu ordenador desde un servidor remoto sin el consentimiento del usuario del ordenador, además de algunos archivos siendo subidos desde el ordenador del usuario.
    Esto tampoco significa que esté implementado con intenciones maliciosas. Podría ser perfectamente una función que automáticamente descarga nuevas versiones y sube los logs de crash, pero la cosa es que existe.

    Thank You to NoxyD from Hypixel for creating this thread.
    Thank You to Eudaldca from OCN for reposting the thread.

    P.S: If I need to remove the links or anything, tell me and I will do so. I believe this is an extremely important issue so if anyone is using it, it should be a very worrying scenario for them.

    If the text is saying that they can get your login information/ password I recommend you learn about some basics about servers first.

    It's copy and paste but it's still an issue.

    It's not a very known issue but it's something that's worth knowing about.
