Very interesting. Since I left windows, this isn’t an issue for me but I will be more aware that this can happen now.
Kind of makes me want to install Clam AV just to watch for viruses I wouldn't otherwise know about because I'm using Linux everywhere.
I did that for a while. It didn't find any. I think because there weren't any to find.
There isn't really anything new to learn here. It's still the same old, don't run an executable to watch a movie. That the code is partly hidden in the srt/jpg is just a minor implementation detail.
