Is B616FAD8-6C7B-4D49-8D21-ECF466E6930C.jpeg safe?
None of 75 antivirus engines detected this JPEG, and external intelligence found no matching malware indicators or researcher rules.
The JPEG received no detections from 75 antivirus engines, including all 17 tier-1 participants. External intelligence also returned no matching threat indicators, though the exact hash is newly observed and no runtime analysis was completed.

If you already viewed it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The JPEG received no detections from 75 antivirus engines, including all 17 tier-1 participants. External intelligence also returned no matching threat indicators, though the exact hash is newly observed and no runtime analysis was completed.
The sample is identified as a JPEG image, for which code signing is not applicable. None of 75 antivirus engines flagged it, and all 17 tier-1 engines that contributed reported no detection. External checks found no MalwareBazaar match, CIRCL entry, or YARAify rule match. Five prior JPEG file-type matches also received clean assessments, although file-type similarity is only weak supporting evidence. The exact hash is newly observed, and no runtime or complete contacted-host assessment is available, so those areas remain unverified.
What We Detected
The file is a 525,788-byte JPEG image. None of 75 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result, including all 17 tier-1 engines that contributed.
Threat Behavior
No completed runtime observation is available, so execution behavior cannot be described. No external match was found in MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
What To Do Now
The available static evidence does not indicate malware. Keep endpoint protection enabled and use an updated image viewer; if the image came from an untrusted sender or behaves unexpectedly, avoid opening it and rescan after more reputation history develops.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- prevalence.classification=rare_new with 1 submitter and 1 submission, so the exact hash has very little history.
- behaviour=null and contactedHosts=null, leaving runtime activity and contacted-host reputation unassessed.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 antivirus engines reported a detection.
- All 17 tier-1 engines that contributed reported no detection.
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify hit was found.
- No brand mismatch or filename-disguise heuristic was detected.
- Five comparable JPEG file-type records previously received safe verdicts.
- The exact SHA-256 has only 1 submission and was first observed today.
- No completed runtime observation is available.
- Contacted-host reputation was not checked or saved.
Normal image-handling precautions are appropriate based on the available evidence. Keep security software enabled and rescan later if the source is untrusted or the file behaves unexpectedly.

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.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
View it only when its sender or download source is one you trust.
- Recovery step 02
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
- Recovery step 03
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
