Recently I downloaded an episode of Dexter: Original Sin, which looked just like a regular mkv file except some differences that I noticed.

  1. Shortcut thingy in the corner of an icon.
  2. When hovering over it it shows file location as c:\windows\system32.
  3. In properties of the file you can see that it’s have some cmd shenanigans.

I downloaded it with qbittorrent using search function with jackett installed. Torrent when I started it had over 1000 seeds.

When I clicked it, windows security window appeared and identified it as Trojan:Win64/DisguisedXMRigMiner.

Be careful.
