Malicious mods work by disguising themselves as a mod that offers something that  adds a new feature to the game, or extra content, or perhaps to help fix an issue in the game.Then when you download the mod, a virus or malware is hidden in the mod code that unleashes onto your computer system when the mod is installed which can infect the computer,steal your personal data, or cause damage to your game.
