[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1090391, member: 32260"] The article from OP includes information about the common differences between the Microsoft Store MSIX packages and Developer-signed MSIX packages. The first includes the "Microsoft Store App" label: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1718802681563.png"]283880[/ATTACH] The Developer-signed packages do not include that label, like in the malware example in the wild: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1718802824745.png"]283881[/ATTACH] So far, the malware in the wild uses mainly the Developer-signed MSIX packages. Of course, many benign MSIX packages are Developer-signed. But, they cannot be trusted as well as Microsoft Store packages. [/QUOTE]
