MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.

92%Confidence
Very high
Reasoning

High engine coverage returned universally clean results, with 17 tier-1 engines explicitly reporting clean. The file is a standard Outlook .msg format, a prevalent commodity type for email storage, lacking any heuristic triggers or filename red flags. No runtime data exists, but absence of dropped children, malicious contacts, or intel corroboration supports safety. Newness introduces minor uncertainty, but overwhelming clean signals dominate.

Key signals · 4

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. 0/61 engines.malicious, engines.tier1Malicious=0 (e.g., BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky all 'undetected')

  2. file.fileType='Outlook', size=346624 bytes, common email container

  3. triggeredHeuristics=[] (none fired), externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0

How widely this file has been seen

Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. This is the footprint of targeted malware the AV industry hasn't signatured yet — extra scrutiny is warranted.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about Re_ PAB Engineering.msg, answered from the scan data above.

  • Re_ PAB Engineering.msg appears safe. 74 of 74 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only open files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
  • Re_ PAB Engineering.msg is a file (application/octet-stream), about 339 KB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
  • None — all 74 antivirus engines we queried report Re_ PAB Engineering.msg as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
  • The SHA-256 hash of Re_ PAB Engineering.msg is 7da855c87bbc5670c647586ff446ed8c62d8dfb8defd8dc5e7010068257d70fd, and its MD5 is 32989173770fa7bcbd2b619acf8f3cd4. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
  • Based on this scan, yes — Re_ PAB Engineering.msg shows no threat indicators. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
  • This report reflects the scan run on May 6, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Re_ PAB Engineering.msg is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
