What to do now4 steps

This file is harmful. Don't run it, and remove it.

If you haven't run it

  1. Don't run this file. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin.

If you already ran it

  1. Disconnect the device from the internet, then run a full antivirus scan. Microsoft Defender Offline (Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options) also finds malware that hides while Windows runs.

  2. From another device you trust, change the passwords of your important accounts (email and banking first) and turn on two-step verification.

  3. If the scan keeps finding it, or the device still acts strangely, scan again with a second-opinion scanner from another company; if that doesn't fix it, back up your personal files and reinstall Windows.

If you already ran it, do these in order.

If you opened or installed it

Avoid banking and sign-ins on that device until it is clean. These free MalwareTips guides walk you through it.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

49 engines flag the sample, including 13 major detections converging on Mikey. Offensive MITRE techniques and contact with theend.lat domains confirm malicious intent.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • No externalIntel hits (yaraify, circl, MalwareBazaar) and no droppedChildren — external corroboration is absent but does not outweigh engine and behaviour signals.

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 password stealers work

A password stealer runs quietly in the background and copies your private data, such as saved passwords, browser cookies, autofill details and crypto wallets, then sends it to criminals. You usually won't notice anything.

Bottom line:Stolen logins are used to break into your accounts or sold in bulk, so change passwords from another device.
