We spent dozens of hours reading results from independent labs like AV-Test and AV-Comparatives, feature articles from many publications such as Ars Technica and PCMag, and white papers and releases from institutions and groups like Usenix and Google’s Project Zero. Windows Defender, Microsoft’s built-in tool, is good enough for most people. The “best antivirus” for most people to buy, it turns out, is nothing. And after all that, we learned that most people should neither pay for a traditional antivirus suite, such as McAfee, Norton, or Kaspersky, nor use free programs like Avira, Avast, or AVG. I see it much better than a static mail - especially one yesterday morning when we did not know enough yet.We set out to do a standard Wirecutter guide to the best antivirus app, so we spent months researching software, reading reports from independent testing labs and institutions, and consulting experts on safe computing.


Well our communication is via this forum and blog post and it receives thousands of views and we are answering as many posts as we can. In any case whatever your preference of communication most certainly we have not turned "a blind eye" Although i personally dont quite understand the insistence on email, certainly not from partners. Well the possible data breach was received Wednesday evening, we proceeded to check the report throughout the night and started an official blog post and forum yesterday morning and then an email later on in the day - so well within 24 hours of receiving the report. We have hired Mandiant and a whole team is trying to get information as fast as we can. When we do we will immediately communicate something that we know for sure. It could very well have been injected on our own infrastructure. We did not create the impression that ffmpeg was to blame we answered a question in which dll the trojan was injected and it was ffmpeg.dll and i clearly stated in my twitter response that we are still researching and not pointing any fingers.

Yes, we uploaded the file to virustotal on after seeing the alert from Sentinel1 and actually all indicators we're green.
