The Open Source software is under attack, said the report by some agency: several apps, including Godot, were targeted with free mods and plugins that were actually malware... Wait, what?
Some were just downloading cracked games and malware was getting extra access from computers with Godot installed. Unless it wasn't — first, you should only get Godot from official sources. Second — even hacked games with viruses don't benefit from the official Godot build on your PC.
Then what happened? There are fake Godot distributors and there are infected cracked games with Godot based viruses. Overall, It's not the best way to deliver the virus, since Godot is huge, compared to "normal" viruses and loaders.
