Safe
Zero detections across 74 engines despite direct-IP contacts that match Google and Cloudflare infrastructure.
19af64501bbe196dcf…a0fe48527eThe reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The complete absence of malicious detections from 74 engines, including 17 tier-1 scanners, outweighs the single heuristic trigger. The IPs contacted are known benign infrastructure, and the file is a newly submitted, rare APK with no prior history or corroborating intel. While the direct-IP pattern is unusual, it is not sufficient to override the clean engine consensus.
No engine flagged the APK. The only suspicious signal is a heuristic noting direct-IP connections without DNS, but those IPs belong to legitimate Google and Cloudflare ranges. No sandbox malice, no dropped children, and no external-intel hits support a clean assessment.
What We Detected
74 engines scanned the APK; none returned a malicious or suspicious result. The only non-benign observation is the MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2 heuristic noting eight direct-IP connections and zero DNS lookups.
Threat Behavior
The contacted IPs resolve to Google and Cloudflare infrastructure, services commonly used by legitimate Android applications for telemetry, updates, or CDN content. No sandbox execution produced malicious verdicts, no children were dropped, and no persistence or C2 indicators were recorded.
What To Do Now
The file can be installed and executed with low risk. Monitor for unusual battery or data usage typical of any new keyboard app, and keep device OS and security updates current.
The strongest scan facts behind the verdict, preserved with their exact names and counts.
0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged the file.
The hash has been submitted 1 time from 1 source.
- 0/74 engines flagged malicious
- IPs belong to Google/Cloudflare infrastructure
- no sandbox malice or dropped children
- rare_new prevalence (single submission)
- direct-IP connections without DNS
Treat as safe for installation; re-scan after broader distribution if additional engine detections appear.
What to do now
This file looks safe based on everything we checked.
This file is safe to use.
Good habit: only download files from the official website or an app store.
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
YARA & heuristic rule matches
One or more medium-severity heuristic rules matched. Not definitive, but the patterns match known malware behaviour.
Sample contacted 8 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.

How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. That limits reputation evidence, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod_146.apk, answered from the scan data above.
- rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod_146.apk appears safe. 74 of 74 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only open files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
- rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod_146.apk is an Android app (APK), about 606 KB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
- None — all 74 antivirus engines we queried report rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod_146.apk as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
- The SHA-256 hash of rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod_146.apk is 19af64501bbe196dcf68d3d9e95f64938489555f342b1748c53d02a0fe48527e, and its MD5 is 2717f94c047baae41914867548af236a. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
- Based on this scan, yes — rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod_146.apk shows no threat indicators. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
- This report reflects the scan run on July 22, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod_146.apk is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
