Analyst conclusion

All 74 engines returned clean results on this 1912-day-old EPUB file. No sandbox, dropped-child or host-reputation data exists, but the file's age and prevalence indicate a legitimate e-book.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • contactedHosts is null so no host-reputation cross-check is available; absence is neutral and does not confirm clean network behaviour.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
