[Sandbox Breaker]

Found this at a customer. It was blocked but upon further inspection I saw that Xcitium marks the files as clean. Their human analyst also concluded its clean. ITS NOT.

ITS NOT.

Yup. Kinda sad that an "expert" can't determine that it's unsafe. And he even gets money for his work.

There is no human analysis. This is a browser hijacker, there is no way a real human won’t see that. And it’s also an old one. The human analysis is just marketing.

Same as the stealer malware I shared in another thread. And it's actually more than 6 months old according to VT.

Right, that's what it says but did anyone actually see it in action? Just curious

Agent refers to any malware that is not significant enough to have its own family. It is an industry standard. The file has dual detection, one is Check Point proprietary and one is Kaspersky’s feeds.

Okay, so perhaps that is why Comodo isn't classifying it as malicious because it isn't doing anything harmful..
