The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including the major antivirus engines that returned results. It is a tiny, non-executable email object with no external intelligence hits, although its short history (seen shortly before Oct 10, 2026) and lack of runtime coverage warrant ordinary caution.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The file is from one submitter, so its history is limited.
  • No completed sandbox observation or complete contacted-host reputation check is available.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is mime-attachment safe?
We found nothing harmful in mime-attachment. None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only after checking with the sender through a phone number or address you already have.
What is mime-attachment?
mime-attachment is an email message file, about 515 bytes. VirusTotal first saw it on Oct 10, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected mime-attachment?
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag mime-attachment. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of mime-attachment?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of mime-attachment is 64cef11ea6b51f4d0034078112f94f7939253b578657cbf26310527dce24f6b4, and its MD5 is 8caefa9d9a95bc2cc17d2d5235a0d64d. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to open mime-attachment?
We found nothing harmful in mime-attachment. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of mime-attachment?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 10, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
