Verdict Safe
Is characters_
No antivirus engine detected this apparent asset bundle, though its short history (seen shortly before Oct 9, 2026) and lack of the test run warrant ordinary source verification.

Why we think so
5 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The file received no detections from 75 antivirus engines, including 17 major antivirus engines, and no external intelligence source matched it. Confidence is moderated because it was first observed on Oct 9, 2026, has only one submission, and has no completed runtime or contacted-host analysis.
All 61 antivirus engines that checked it returned no malicious or suspicious classification, with BitDefender, Kaspersky, Microsoft, and other major antivirus engines among those reporting no detection. No MalwareBazaar, YARAify, or CIRCL match adds contrary evidence. The bundle-style filename and non-executable file type are compatible with a game or application asset, although filename context alone is not proof. The sample is and has only one submission, so reputation remains undeveloped. No sandbox run or complete contacted-host reputation result is available, which limits conclusions about what an application loading this bundle might do.
What We Detected
No malicious or suspicious result was reported by any of the 75 antivirus engines. All 17 reporting major antivirus engines, including BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky, and Microsoft, returned no detection. MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL also had no match for this hash.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so behavior in the test run cannot be characterized. The contacted-host cross-check was not completed or saved, meaning no conclusion can be drawn about network destinations. The filename suggests a graphical asset bundle rather than an executable, and code signing is not applicable to this file type.
What To Do Now
Use the file only if it came with the expected game or application from a trusted distribution channel. Because the hash is and has little reputation history, keep security software enabled and rescan if the source is uncertain or the file changes.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- A first sighting today and the "rare and newly seen" prevalence rating mean the sample has almost no history, limiting confidence in the current detection-free result.
- The absence of a completed sandbox run and the missing contacted-host reputation result leave activity in the test run and contacted-host reputation unassessed.
- similarHashes[4].verdict is 'suspicious', although it is only a broad matchKind=filetype and that different sample had one engine detection.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/61 antivirus engines reported a detection
- No major antivirus engines flagged it with 17 major antivirus engines reporting no detection
- The hash is not listed in the MalwareBazaar malware database
- No community YARA rule matched
- 4/5 broad file-type matches previously received safe verdicts
- Hash with a first sighting today
- Only 1 source and 1 submission in prevalence data
- No completed observation from the test run
- No saved contacted-host reputation cross-check
- Unknown generic file type
