[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 997864, member: 38832"] I said it before elsewhere on this forum. This specific disclaimer been around too long and is impossible to miss, unless one deliberate ignore it. Btw, MalwareBazaar since day one it opened always had a mix of non malicious and broken and dead samples. It's also completely normal on any malware repository when for example C&C ( command and control ) servers goes down or gets changed etc. Many samples is also poorly coded and simply not compatible enough etc etc. Time is a normal well known super important key factor for malware hunters, testers and re-searchers. That non malicious samples also gets submitted to that repository and others is neither a surprise or anything new under the sun, as the exact same occur on VirusTotal. It is after all a platform open for anyone to submit. A very important factor that clearly is missing in this thread is that big AV companies like F-Secure handle a extreme amount of samples. Around 400k samples per day ( official numbers from 2021 ). Those are impossible for any human hands to handle all and everything correct 24/7. Claim otherwise is just, plain. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
