The page also fails to load in firefox with SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER
- radlad 3y agoWorks fine here on Firefox/macOS.
- wutwutwat 3y agoSomeone posts a link which has multiple virus scanners reporting the image as being malicious, and you thought that it’s fine to download that file to your machine and open it? It loading fine has nothing to do with if it’s malicious or not, that’s kinda the whole point of malware and viruses.
- processunknown 3y agoMultiple is a stretch when one scanner marks it as malicious and one marks it as suspicious and all the rest report it as fine. It’s very likely a false positive.
- crtasm 3y agoIt's a jpeg.

- ale42 3y agoSure, but opening the image in a browser wont run any malware even if there's one concealed inside the image data that can be extracted by specific "innocent-looking" software. The only possibility of doing something that bad (i.e. running the malware by just opening the image) would be a malformed image that manages to do a buffer overflow in the image parser of the browser (see this recent example: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_11.html https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/09/stable-channel...)... but I rather think that this specific case is just a false positive. EDIT: someone in the thread apparently rescanned the file (I didn't check if the file was the same or was modified in-between on the original site) and it indeed appears clean now.
- KomoD 3y ago> which has multiple virus scanners reporting the image as being malicious 2 random scanners, only one of which reports it as malicious. It's flagging the domain because it's a file sharing site. Take 2 seconds and scan the actual file before accusing people of spreading malware. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b2353556793cab2e417fd6ed97fad2e6a1c124b01b836ed6dc3f6dd039ece1ed https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b2353556793cab2e417fd6ed...
