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

Analyst conclusion

Only two low-trust detections exist against 75 engines, both generic PUP labels. No tier-1 consensus, no sandbox results, and contacted-no complete contacted-host reputation result was available. Medium prevalence and absence of external-intel hits support a safe classification.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • Direct-IP traffic to 14 addresses with no domain recorded (MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2) could indicate C2, but contactedHosts shows no complete contacted-host reputation result was available.

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

What is the SHA-256 hash of Niagara Launcher_v1_16_20.apk?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of Niagara Launcher_v1_16_20.apk is fbb2b33429e70f7d8e221724825bd6e4579b21880ce550ec0ab464d5a0bb79e2, and its MD5 is 1f82268cb4744bd20e6441d4e330f1a6.

How up to date is this analysis of Niagara Launcher_v1_16_20.apk?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 7, 2026.
