For anyone interested the full trail is still available online and is a very interesting watch for anyone even remotely interested in the US justice system. I do feel a lot of the commenters above may feel differently after watching the entire trial and viewing the evidence presented first-hand rather than skewed through the lenses of journalists from either side of the political compass.
I’m no stranger to false positives, especially when virus scanners are all too keen to label things as “hacktools” and class them as malicious. However there is apparently no need for an online fix at the moment as there is no real authentication to play online so I just can’t understand why there are so many calls to specific IP addresses that aren’t in the legitimate version. (As there are currently no need to run pirated servers)
Also it’s the first time I’ve see so many sigma flags in the sandbox tests. When I see “Critical: Ransomware” I get spooked. (As I’ve never seen this level of warning before. Nothing above a medium, infact)
Ive done quite a bit of googling but haven’t been able to find much to dissuade my fears with sandbox flags like these… What’s more cracks from different users all have differing detection flags and call different IP addresses…
TL;DR: I’m out of my depth with this one.
Usually I have no issues with the above site but when looking for the latest patch this is the result of a virus total scan from a very prominent known-user: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0a661adf06c2bef40749e9eba17ffccef0eb0e76321a5a21ec11ca60c34fb0dc/behavior
Gonna have to reassess my views regarding the safety of this site…
Reading all the comments reminiscing about using these as if they are now a relic of a bygone era. We errr… Still use them to this day, I don’t believe the company has any plans to upgrade in the near future either.
We also still use dot-matrix printers. They’re still being manufactured to this day and the new ones even come with ethernet ports! (As opposed to serial, which again we still have some)
To be fair I was under the assumption that he wasn’t intending to capitalize on this situation at all, he did surrender the firearm used and requested it to be destroyed after the proceedings concluded so that it wouldn’t be sold-off and used as some sort of political symbol… It saddens me to learn that he is using such a tragedy to push any form of message other than a anti-firearm cautionary tale.
