MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The archive drew 31 detections among 75 engines, including six major detections and 24 independent engine votes. Execution launched an injector, loaded a native DLL through rundll32, and mapped T1055, T1543.002, and T1562.001, strongly supporting the trojan detections despite one clean sandbox verdict.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The completed sandbox run returned a clean verdict, although it still recorded several offensive-technique mappings and injector-related execution.
  • No malware-specific YARAify rule or MalwareBazaar record corroborated the detections.
  • None of the ten dropped files has a saved malicious verdict, but all ten remain unclassified rather than cleared.

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

Threat context

How trojans work

A trojan pretends to be something useful or harmless so that you run it. Once open, it does its real job in the background, from stealing data to opening a back door or downloading more malware.

Bottom line:The disguise is the whole trick, so a trustworthy-looking name or icon means nothing.
