Before running
Treat the file as unverified and avoid running it until more evidence is available.
If you already ran it
Run a full device scan. If its origin cannot be confirmed, delete this file and use a fresh copy from a trusted source.
Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
One tier-1 engine flagged the file as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml while 68 others returned clean. The sample is unsigned, appeared today, and has no sandbox or external-intel hits.
The file is a 2.5 MB Win32 EXE submitted for the first time today. Microsoft (tier-1) and Bkav (low-trust) are the only engines reporting malicious. No family consensus exists, the binary is unsigned, and sandbox execution produced no malicious verdict or network activity. Similar files in our history also received unknown verdicts due to low coverage.
What We Detected
Two of 75 engines flagged the sample: Microsoft labeled it Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml and Bkav returned W32.Malware.90932AB1. No other engines, including 15 tier-1 engines, raised alerts.
Threat Behavior
The executable is unsigned and shows typical ambient techniques (obfuscation, system enumeration) but no offensive MITRE techniques or malicious sandbox verdict. No domains, dropped children, or external-intel hits were recorded.
What To Do Now
Keep Windows Defender and other security software enabled. Avoid executing the file until more engines or sandbox reports become available.
- 68/75 engines returned clean
- No sandbox malicious verdict
- No external-intel hits
- Unsigned executable
- Rare and newly observed
- Single tier-1 detection
Do not run the file; wait for additional engine coverage or sandbox results before deciding.

Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. 2 antivirus detections make that low prevalence materially relevant, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.

What to do now
There isn't enough information to give this file a clear rating.
- Recovery step 01
Be cautious — an unknown rating is not the same as a clean bill of health.
- Recovery step 02
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
- Recovery step 03
When in doubt, don't run it — or scan it again later once it's more widely seen.
