AI에 의해 보고됨

A fake website is distributing a malicious version of the 7-Zip installer that contains malware. TechRadar warns users that the .com domain is not the official site for 7-Zip. The alert was published on February 11, 2026.

TechRadar has issued a warning about a fraudulent website mimicking the popular file archiver 7-Zip. The site offers a download for what appears to be the legitimate 7-Zip software but is actually laced with malware.

According to the report, users should be cautious because the .com domain—specifically 7zip.com—is not affiliated with the official 7-Zip project. The official website for 7-Zip is hosted elsewhere, and downloading from unverified sources can lead to security risks.

The publication date of this security advisory is February 11, 2026, at 14:55 UTC. No further details on the specific malware or affected versions were provided in the source material.

This incident highlights the importance of verifying software sources before installation to avoid potential threats.
