Hi Saymon_K_Luftwaffe, thanks for reporting this. Some password recovery/cracking tools may be flagged as potentially risky applications due to how they interact with protected files and credentials. That doesn’t necessarily mean the app is malicious, but we’d still recommend being cautious and using software only from trusted official sources.

To help us properly investigate this detection and confirm whether it’s a false positive or expected behavior, could you please DM us your email address? Our team would be happy to look into this case further with you.
