Are Windows images from philka safe?

Question

Windows

I downloaded Windows 10 LTSC images from the philka.ru website, the hash sums match those declared on the philka.ru website. How safe is it to use such images? Can there be embedded bookmarks and other malware in such images? No one complained on the forum. It works well for me, Kaspersky did not find any viruses. This is not an author's assembly and not a pirated version of the image. The license is official, but the images are downloaded from this site.

Answer 1

hash sums match those declared on the website philka.ru

It is necessary to compare not with hash sums on philka, but with hash sums on microsoft.

Answer 2

Can there be embedded bookmarks and other malware in such images?

Certainly. What do you think they are there for? Clean images, not hacked - you can download from M$ itself, unless you are looking for images that are no longer being distributed ...

Answer 3

They can, but most likely they are clean, and why download it from some kind of file, if it can be downloaded from the Microsoft website

Answer 4

1. see who the author of the assembly is and what changes were declared
2. look at the Eagle123 assemblies
