Verdict Malicious
Is FORTNITE- MACROS- EDITOR- V2. 5- main. zip safe? No, we rate this exact file malicious.
This archive is packaged as a Fortnite macro tool, but 41 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it flag it, several naming the Lumma infostealer, and it drops a payload while showing a fake update message.
Strong evidence · Two or more major antivirus engines agree.
Do not open or run this file; delete it. If it was executed, scan the PC with an up-to-date antivirus and change important passwords from a clean device.
What to do now4 steps
This ZIP archive is harmful. Don't open or extract it, and delete it.
If you haven't opened or extracted it
Don't open or extract this archive. Delete the archive and any files you extracted from it, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash.
If you already opened or extracted it
If you already extracted it, delete the extracted files too and run a full antivirus scan.
If a page it opened asked for a password or card details and you entered them, change that password and call your bank.
It created a file that antivirus engines classify as malicious, so run a full scan, not a quick one.

Chapter 02
Why we think so
6 points against it and 0 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
41 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it flag this ZIP, including Kaspersky and TrendMicro with Lumma stealer detections. When run, it shows a fake 'Checking for updates' dialog while loading a DLL and writing an executable into AppData. A dropped file is also listed as malware.
The archive was flagged by 41 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it, 32 of them independent after removing shared scan engines, and 11 major antivirus engines agreed it is malicious. Kaspersky, TrendMicro, VBA32 and Lionic use Lumma stealer labels, a family known for stealing credentials and crypto wallets. Sandbox runs show a fake updater message box, rundll32 loading Family.dll, and a new executable written to AppData\Roaming. One dropped file is also listed in MalwareBazaar as malicious. The game-macro filename is a typical lure for this kind of stealer.
What We Detected
Forty-one of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it flag this ZIP. Kaspersky and TrendMicro identify it as the Lumma information stealer, and other engines label it a downloader or dropper.Threat Behavior
The sandbox shows the bundled executable launching a PowerShell message box that says 'Checking for updates...' as a distraction, while rundll32 loads Family.dll and an executable is written into the user's AppData\Roaming folder. The sample also contacted pastebin.com, which stealers often use to fetch configuration. A dropped file is listed as malicious in a public malware database.What To Do Now
Do not run anything from this archive. If it was already run, disconnect from the network, run a full antivirus scan, and change passwords for accounts used on that PC from a clean device.Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- Sandbox verdicts were not recorded and the two sandbox runs show no injected process or confirmed network a control server beyond a pastebin.com contact.
- Major family consensus on Lumma is only 3 engines, and many other labels are vendor generic buckets (Trojan.Generic, MalwareX, Artemis).
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 41 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it flag the archive, including 11 major antivirus engines
- Kaspersky and TrendMicro name the Lumma information stealer
- A dropped file is listed as malicious in a public malware database
- Fake 'Checking for updates' message box shown while a DLL is loaded through rundll32
- Writes an executable into the user's AppData Roaming folder
- Game-cheat style filename is a common lure for stealers

What the test run showed
What the file did on a test computer
Confirmed in the test run
High concern: Created a file that antivirus engines classify as malicious.
Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).
Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.
Moderate concern: Used an unusual way to talk to a server.
Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.
Moderate concern: Hid files or windows on the test computer.
Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.
Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as weakening security settings; no setting change was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.
This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.
Threat context
How password stealers work
A password stealer runs quietly in the background and copies your private data, such as saved passwords, browser cookies, autofill details and crypto wallets, then sends it to criminals. You usually won't notice anything.
Bottom line:Stolen logins are used to break into your accounts or sold in bulk, so change passwords from another device.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.
