4 months agoNot really, but you can get a virus from movie.mkv.exe, which will probably show up in windows as “movie.mkv” but will actually run a program.
That being said, I’ve never actually seen this in the wild and it was mainly talked about in the mp3 era.
1337x is known to host some game cracks with malicious bitcoin miners built-in. If you don’t play cracked games, maybe it’s nbd, but it still stands that you shouldn’t trust them.
