Windows warning "Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml"

[memUsins]

Hi!

I have been using the "rod" library for several months now, but today I received a warning from Windows Defender, which informs me that the path is \Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Temp\leakless-amd64-adb80298fa6a3af7ced8b1c9b5f18007\leakless.exe contains a "Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml".

I have not received this warning before. I haven't updated the libraries.

I wanted to find out what this might be related to: this is a windows error or the library contains potentially malicious code.

I'm using:

• windows 11 22H2 build 22621.4169
• golang version 1.23.1

It might because the strategy change of Windows Defender after you upgrade it.

its not only windows defender

The source code is pretty simple and everyone can compile it, I don't know why it's detected as trojan. Hope someone familiar with security can help.
