Virus over Minecraft?

Fr
- in Skins

Hei,

I was just on a Minecraft server told me that it would be possible to send a virus by image file. I already knew that before, but what about a "skin" file? What if I upload a virus as a skin file? Exactly the same thing I ask myself at whatsapp. What happens if I send someone an infected picture? The skins as well as the picture at WhatsApp are downloaded directly, right?

Well, thanks for any answer.

You can attach a virus to any file.

With WhatsApp this will probably work rather less, they have definite such filters, etc.

A skin file is just a picture.

As far as I know someone has ever done something similar. But it was quite a long time ago and the "victim" had to do the picture himself
