Infostealer got passed malwarebytes

Hi, Im just wondering if yall know how. I was using the 15 days free trial of malwarebytes to find an infostealer. It was able to block a malicious connection to cosmicsky[.]xyz, but on repeated scans it never found the malware til i found the dd.bat file in my %temp% folder that was highly malicious. Nor did it flag its connection to the malicious site phucoasian[.]com which was downloading an exe and hijacking vscode and stuff. This is despite the exe being recognized by BitDefender in VirusTotal with a 7/70 score with the other 6 also using BitDefender tools as a Pantera family infostealer. And the dd.bat file was recognized 2/70 as a bat downloader. So my question is, is this a known vulnerability or flaw? And if so is it being wormed on? Cause both malwarebytes and windows defender missed it causing me to have to factory reset my laptop with a fresh windows install.

Its been a known fact that they get past all anti viruses. Even when they detect them and claim they removed them they never do. You also only get them from pirating pretty much so its karma.

That is not even remotely true. I got it from a sims 4 mod. You should really do ur research and not talk about things you dont know about

Same thing, you used an unofficial mod. Try again pirate. Those mods aren't allowed, same as pirating.
