As in title. What’s your experience with it? If something isn’t executable, then it has to exploit vulnerability in order to run anything malicious. But does it happen often with mp4, mkv and other files like mp3 or epub?
I assume that if I use updated linux, then I’m mostly safe?
I don’t know why Linux users think they’re completely immune to malware. Yes it’s very unlikely that something gains root access if you run it without super-user privileges, but that program can still access your home folder and look at all your private data.
Probably because the vast majority of the pirate software available is for Windows, and there’s no way that program will run natively on Linux.
I mean, if I download a movie from freevirus(dot)com it is most likely that the movie will be a .mp4.exe and not a .mp4.sh.
