Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file that is less than 24 hours old. I was streamed using VLC version 3.0.20 form the repose on Linux.

    Thanks for the reassurance. I won’t worry about it. After some thought, I also believe it’s unlikely some one have embed zero-day exploits into a movie torrent from LimeTorrent.

      Yeah, zero-days are usually expensive because attackers like to keep them pre zero-days once they are discovered their value diminishes significantly. So they are usually used for high value targets and not on random people downloading movies.
