Trojan Script Wacatac H ml

Hi, I am making a backup of my iPhone 13 Pro Max via iTunes on a Windows computer, Windows 10.

When running Windows Defender anti-virus scan, it identifies Trojan Script Wacatac Hml as a virus in the iPhone backup folder in two files in folders 5f and b5. The file names are:

5f4af662a1def203d49f00e405c82342871d7dce and b5ca8fc6a4f9c4db7a19177237af546494d53a58.

All software on all devices is up to date.

Apple maintains it is a "false positive", iPhones cannot get viruses and Defender must fix their anti virus software. I have done everything to try and remove the trojan from the iPhone but to no avail. Please advise if it is in fact a "false positive".

Took forever to log this query: Error: Oops something went wrong.

Kind regards, Gert

 

Trojan Script Wacatac B!ml

Hi,

I am using Windows 11.I went to a hotel website , trying to make a reservation , after entering the dates, pressed check availability or check rates , A red screen came up , with a virus warning, Windows defender detected it. I quarantine it and said Detected : Trojan Script Wacatac B!ml, severe.

I used Windows defender to remove the trojan and now the status showed : a threat or app was Removed from this device.

based on this information, can I assume that this trojan is gone forever, or it's still hiding somewhere.

Thank you.

 

Wacatac false positive outbreak?

WinRAR SFX archives can run PowerShell without being detected

It's likely that detections have been beefed up to handle threats outlined in the above article, but in the process there are a lot of false positive detections. Wacatac.H!ml indicates it is a machine learning detection, which is prone to FP.

Hopefully Microsoft will adjust the ml threshold.
