Why we think so
1 point against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Zero malicious detections across 74 reporting engines and no sandbox verdict. The single rule-based trigger notes direct-IP traffic but explicitly requires further correlation. One unconfirmed user report suggested malicious, yet no review decision exists.
The complete absence of malicious engine detections across major, smaller, and less reliable engines outweighs the single rule-based flag. One of our behaviour rules itself cautions that direct-IP traffic occurs in legitimate installers and must be correlated with host reputation, which returned zero malicious hosts. Medium prevalence and 14-day age indicate the file is neither nor extremely rare. No external-intel or similar-hash corroboration exists to support a malicious classification.
What We Detected
74 antivirus engines scanned the APK; none returned a malicious or suspicious result. Behaviour analysis recorded 15 direct-IP connections and three MITRE techniques common in legitimate software but zero offensive techniques and no sandbox verdicts.
Threat Behavior
The rule-based rule one of our behaviour rules fired because the sample contacted IPs without recording an application domain. The rule text states this pattern alone is inconclusive and must be weighed against host reputation, which showed zero known-malicious hosts among the inspected addresses.
What To Do Now
Keep security software enabled. If the APK originates from an official store or trusted developer channel, the current evidence supports safe use. Re-scan after any future updates or if additional context (source URL, developer signature) becomes available.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- recentFeedback[0].suggestedVerdict=malicious from one user report, though reviewDecision is still null
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Zero malicious detections across 74 reporting engines
- No sandbox malicious verdict
- Zero known-malicious contacted hosts
- Direct-IP traffic without recorded domain (rule only)
