Windows Defender may detect this (zipped) as Wacatac.B!ml.

This is an extremely common false positive. The !ml suffix stands for “machine learning”, so this is another case of unreliable AI being used 😮‍💨

I’ve already sent in a false-detection report to Microsoft for the file, but processing may take a while as higher priority support is paywalled and unavailable to single users. Update: They took about five hours, that’s okay in my book.

Here’s the (clean) VirusTotal scan of the archive: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/400037bcc0578f272a080e8baef5db6885200f561e7a0d728f3b07d8f58a1a95/detection

I received confirmation (hours ago) that the detection has been removed, so if you get a malware alert from Microsoft Defender, please update its signatures to the newest version.
