Is Morphing 2.exe safe?
Single tier-1 detection on a brand-new, unsigned, packed executable with no prior history.
One high-trust engine flags the file as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml while 69 others do not. The sample is unsigned, packed with UPX, and first seen today, leaving insufficient corroboration for a definitive verdict.

Before running
Do not run it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.
If you already ran it
Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
One high-trust engine flags the file as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml while 69 others do not. The sample is unsigned, packed with UPX, and first seen today, leaving insufficient corroboration for a definitive verdict.
A single tier-1 detection without family consensus is not enough to label the file malicious, yet the combination of zero prior reputation, unsigned status, and packing raises concern. Similar files in the RAG set also received unknown verdicts, reinforcing the lack of established patterns. No sandbox or contacted-host data is available to confirm or refute malicious behaviour. The evidence therefore sits in a borderline zone that warrants caution rather than a clean or malicious classification.
What We Detected
Microsoft flagged the sample as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml; Cylance returned a generic unsafe label. No other engines, including 16 tier-1 engines, raised alerts. The binary is packed with UPX and carries no digital signature.
Threat Behavior
Static analysis shows high-entropy code sections typical of packing, but no MITRE techniques or network activity were observed because sandbox execution data is absent. No dropped children or known malicious hosts were recorded.
What To Do Now
Do not execute the file. Keep Windows Defender and other endpoint protection enabled. If the file is required, submit it to a controlled analysis environment or request additional sandbox coverage before any further assessment.
- 69/75 engines report clean
- No sandbox malicious verdict available
- No dropped malicious children
- Unsigned executable
- Packed with UPX
- First seen today (rare_new)
- Single tier-1 malicious detection
Treat the file as untrusted; avoid execution until further sandbox or dynamic analysis results are obtained.

Section entropy & packers
Executable sections have high entropy (7.2+) — the code is compressed or encrypted and only decrypted at runtime. Classic packing behaviour.
How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. 2 antivirus detections make that low prevalence materially relevant, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.
