Suspicious
Signed TLauncher launcher with PUP detections, process injection, LSASS access, and direct-IP contacts.
0619bd07d3183a8ae0…5f5d211227The verdict, reasoned out.
Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.
Low tier-1 consensus and mostly PUP labels point away from clear malware, yet the combination of revoked certificate, offensive MITRE techniques, direct-IP C2, and community reports of TLauncher distributing unwanted software create mixed signals. The file is prevalent but carries consistent negative indicators across signing, behaviour, and detections. No malicious children or external intel hits reduce severity but do not clear the behavioural red flags.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

Treat as suspicious PUP; do not run and remove if present. Use a different launcher with established clean signing history.

YARA + heuristic rules that fired
A researcher-curated or high-severity heuristic rule matched this sample. These rules target specific malware families and are near-definitive.
MITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.
EvidenceC:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted -pSandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.
EvidenceC:\Windows\system32\lsass.exeSample contacted 7 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.

Section entropy & packers
Section-level entropy and packer detection from the PE header. Nothing suspicious here — entropy is within the normal range for unpacked code.
How often this file shows up in the wild
Widely seen in the wild for a long time. High prior this is legitimate; isolated detections on common-old files are usually false positives.
