Is IMG_20260913_040350.jpg safe?
No antivirus engine detected a threat in this JPEG, and available external intelligence provides no corroborating indication of malware.
All 75 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious finding, including 17 high-trust engines. The file is a JPEG with no external-intelligence match, although this exact hash is newly observed and has no completed runtime analysis.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious finding, including 17 high-trust engines. The file is a JPEG with no external-intelligence match, although this exact hash is newly observed and has no completed runtime analysis.
The sample is identified as a 236,879-byte JPEG rather than an executable, and code signing is not applicable. None of 75 antivirus engines flagged it, with 17 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL supplied no matching threat intelligence. Five earlier image-file examples also received benign assessments, though file-type similarity alone is weak evidence. Because no sandbox run or complete contacted-host check exists, the conclusion rests on static scanning and file-format evidence.
What We Detected
The file is a 236,879-byte JPEG image. No malicious or suspicious result appeared among 75 antivirus engines, and all 17 reporting tier-1 engines returned without a detection. MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL provided no matching threat-intelligence record.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so runtime behavior was not assessed. No complete contacted-host reputation result is available either. The available evidence is therefore static and does not identify a malware family, embedded threat, or offensive capability.
What To Do Now
The image can generally be handled normally while endpoint protection remains enabled. If it arrived unexpectedly or from an untrusted sender, open it only with fully updated image-viewing software and avoid unrelated links or instructions delivered alongside it.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- prevalence.classification=rare_new with 1 submitter and 1 submission, so the exact hash has almost no established 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 engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- tier1Malicious=0 and 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- externalIntel.malwareBazaar.hit=false and externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0.
- file.mimeType=image/jpeg and file.fileType=JPEG.
- similarHashes contains 5/5 prior 'safe' file-type matches.
- The exact hash is newly observed, with prevalence.classification=rare_new and only 1 submission.
- behaviour=null, so no runtime execution evidence is available.
- contactedHosts=null, so no complete host-reputation cross-check is available.
Handle the image normally with endpoint protection enabled and image-viewing software kept current. Exercise additional caution only if its sender or surrounding message is untrusted.

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.
