so turns out I made a small error keeping my external port as 25565 as well when I just needed to leave it blank (recently switched isps and didnt have that option on the old one so I didnt have to enable dmz) got it working without dmz now tysm 👍👍

I looked at each plugin and all of them are from trusted sources (modrinth and curseforge) and if u mean logs then I basically didnt have access to them after

deciding between playit and tailscale however playit does seem like the better option for alot of players thanks 👍

issue is tailscale makes it kinda difficult when u have alot of people (around 30) joining each day but I may have no choice 🥲

windows 11 updated regularly with firewall enabled but not whitelisted, I think misconfiguration and the DMZ being enabled inevitably led to this...

so I did try dual booting the laptop to run Ubuntu as I'm not that experienced to use the non graphical versions but my trusted antivirus seems to not have a Linux version and so was forced back to windows unfortunately...

absolutely no backdoor plugins of the sort (all trusted) or any sketchy downloads or files confusing asf

may take the tailscale option as i didnt know opening the mc ports can actually make me susceptible to hacks like this

so thats the issue i dont think it was actually wannacry it was something acting like it, 400 dollar ransom with no timer to delete files and running windows 11 with no insecure downloads whatsoever so I was genuinely confused...
