What's going on with Feather Wallet?

submitted by Xenon to monero 2 points | 0 comments When I download the Feather Wallet v2.8.1 .exe file, I’m immediately greeted with a virus warning. The scanning result on VirusTotal is even stranger: 23/70 security vendors flagged this file as malicious. It isn’t that serious on older versions of Feather Wallet. For example, this is the scanning result of the v2.7.0 .exe file on VirusTotal. The scan says: 2/72 security vendors flagged this file as malicious. Although the v2.7.0 file is also tagged as a miner by two antivirus engines, v2.8.1 is also tagged as a miner and a “trojan” too?
