The 2022 Garry's Mod hacking incident began on June 1st, 2022, when the creator of the "Glue Library" addon to [[Garry's Mod]] was banned from the game.

Not only would the jumpscares show NSFW content, but they would also play loud screaming noises. The other hacked addons include the "View Extension" addon, the "JAction Extension" addon, and the "Ambient Occulsion" addon.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Robertson |first=Joshua |date=2022-06-03 |title=Popular Garry's Mod Addon Creator Is Surprising Players With Graphic Images Following Suspected Ban |url=https://www.thegamer.com/garrys-mod-glue-library/ |access-date=2022-06-07 |website=TheGamer |language=en-US}}</ref> The player would be jumpscared by a notorious image known as "goatse" <ref>{{Cite web |last=Robertson |first=Joshua |date=2022-06-03 |title=Popular Garry's Mod Addon Creator Is Surprising Players With Graphic Images Following Suspected Ban |url=https://www.thegamer.com/garrys-mod-glue-library/ |access-date=2022-06-07 |website=TheGamer |language=en-US}}</ref>sometimes, while others times they would be jumpscared with Racist Spongebob.
