Verdict Safe
Is characters_
No antivirus engine detected a threat, and similarly named asset bundles have clean histories, although this data file lacks the test run.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
Use it only in the application that supplied the asset bundle and prefer an official source. Keep security protection enabled and rescan after future updates.

Why we think so
4 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 61 antivirus engines that checked it returned without a malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 major antivirus engines reporting clean. The filename and similar samples support a game-asset bundle interpretation, but the hash is and no runtime or contacted-host assessment is available.
The strongest evidence is the complete absence of detections across 75 antivirus engines, with no major antivirus engines flagging the sample. External intelligence checks also produced no hash or YARA-rule matches. Two recent files with similarly structured character-asset bundle names received prior clean assessments, although file-type-only similarity is weak. Code signing is not meaningful for this unknown data-file format, so its absence carries no negative weight. Confidence is moderated because the file is its precise format is unidentified, and no completed the test run exists.
What We Detected
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it marked the file as malicious or suspicious. Two similarly named character-asset bundle files also have recent clean histories.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so execution behavior cannot be characterized. The contacted-host cross-check was not completed or saved, meaning no conclusion can be drawn about network reputation. The sample appears to be a non-executable asset bundle, and code signing is not applicable to this format.
What To Do Now
Use the file only with the expected game or application and obtain it from the official distribution channel where possible. Keep security software enabled and rescan if the file changes, begins executing unexpectedly, or came from an untrusted download.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- No completed sandbox run was recorded and no contacted-host reputation result was saved, so no behavior in the test run or complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
- The unknown file type and the "rare and newly seen" prevalence rating limit confidence despite the absence of detections.
- The 5/5 prior safe similarHashes matches use matchKind=filetype, which is weak similarity for an unknown binary-data format.
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 detected a threat
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify hit
- Two similarly named character-asset bundles have prior safe verdicts
- No brand mismatch or filename-disguise behaviour rule matched
- Hash with only one submission source
- Unknown file type limits format-specific inspection
- No completed observation from the test run
- No complete contacted-host reputation result
