Uploaded to virustotal MEANS found in the wild. That's what admins do when they discover things.
- phaus 9y agoI don't know if this one was detected in the wild or not (99% chance it was), however, malware authors occasionally use Virustotal too.
- svens_ 9y agoThere are virustotal clones that don't send back results to the vendors. This is specifically done to prevent that kind of problem.
- thunderrabbit 9y agoMaybe it was only caught by honeypots and turned in from there.
- j_s 9y agoA lot of stuff is uploaded to VirusTotal by automated systems ("in the wild") so it is often a case of "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
