Beware, readers who regularly download original language movies from the internet, perhaps with shady methods, and then look for subtitles to better understand the movie: you’re opening the door to a malware infection in full swing.
If you think about it, it’s pretty obvious: subs files are text files, but they can deliver malicious code. Once loaded and run by video players, they can guarantee to hackers full access to a user’s computer. Also, Checkpoint researchers have also found that site as OpenSubtitles can be manipulated to make fake subtitles more relevant, so to compel users to download them.
Fortunately, some of the video playback software has already released updates, starting with the popular VLC. Patches available for Stremio, Kodi and PopcornTime (please don’t download the malware-ridden one).
