👉 The DivX weapon is a type of malicious software (malware) designed to exploit vulnerabilities in video file formats and playback software, particularly those used by popular media players like VLC Media Player. It typically works by injecting malicious code into legitimate video files, such as.mp4 or.mov, which, when played, executes the weapon to perform unauthorized actions. These actions can range from stealing sensitive information like passwords and credit card details, to spreading the malware to other devices on a network. The weapon's creators often distribute it through compromised websites or malicious downloads, making it a persistent threat in the digital landscape.
