Are you a hacker wanting to test the latest version of your banking trojan? Google has a free tool you can use to make sure your stuff is undetectable. :(

It’s long been suspected that hackers and nation-state spies are using Google’s antivirus site to test their tools before unleashing them on victims. Now Brandon Dixon, an independent security researcher, has caught them in the act, tracking several high-profile hacking groups—including, surprisingly, two well-known nation-state teams—as they used VirusTotal to hone their code and develop their tradecraft.
 
smart of google
they get to see the attack on their system so they can 'relatively' easily figure out what the hackers did to 'make it 0-day' and protect themselves, fuck the rest of the world hahaha
 
People have been using VirusTotal to make sure their RATs were FUD since I was a teenager.
