VirusTotal: Empty File is Malicious
« on: January 13, 2015, 09:02:42 pm »
A little gem one of my colleagues found today: Upload an empty file to virustotal and read the comments.  ;D

The ratings are already promising:



Oh, and if you are to lazy to create an empty file, here is the link:

The comments are worth a few laughs.

Wow, went to the comments expecting people to joke around like with the amazon comments on over priced watches and what not. People were seriously debating on if an empty file is malicious. Hilarious read.
