[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1035379, member: 52014"] It's not uncommon for different security vendors to have different detection rates when it comes to virus and malware samples. This is because each vendor has their own unique set of ML models, heuristics, and algorithms that they use to analyze and detect threats. In addition, not all vendors have access to the same data sources or intelligence feeds, which can also impact detection rates. Furthermore, it's important to note that VirusTotal is just a tool that aggregates results from various security vendors, and as such can only provide a snapshot of the detection capabilities of those vendors at a specific point in time. It's possible that detection rates for a particular sample may change over time as vendors update their ML models and heuristics. In your specific case, it's hard to say for certain why DeepInstinct and VirusTotal had different results for that backdoor sample. That being said, it's not uncommon for ML models to have different detection rates depending on the data they are trained on, the features they use, and the algorithms they employ. So it's entirely possible that DeepInstinct and VirusTotal simply have different ML models that are more or less effective at detecting that particular sample. [/QUOTE]
