The reasoning behind this verdict

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

55%Confidence
Moderate
Analyst conclusion

One tier-1 engine flagged the file as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml while 70 others did not. The sample is unsigned, recently submitted, and contacted an IP address without domain context or host-reputation data.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • Single tier-1 detection (Microsoft) on a 1-day-old file with medium prevalence and no corroborating tier-1 or sandbox 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.

Recommended action

Treat the file as untrusted; avoid execution until additional reputable sources confirm its safety.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Used an input-capture technique that can record credentials or keystrokes.

  • Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.

  • Note: Reads your Windows user-account details.

  • Note: Collects details about your system.

  • Note: Connected to 1 server during sandbox analysis.

These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.
