Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @lor-eeprom

Can you give us some more details about what you’re seeing? Are you getting a warning about Local from a security system? Or did you download or develop a site that has a malware infection?

More details, screenshots, etc would be helpful. Keep us posted and we’d be happy to help further!

My Locale WP installation didntn start After a day. Today i reinstall again but i cannot check the SHA.

I think its a malware. Please check the version and everything. So people can be Happy. And safety.
Let me know.

We can’t find any issues with our latest Local release but it’s possible something has become corrupted on your device.

So are you not able to open the Local app after reinstalling?

What is your OS/OS version @lor-eeprom?

Also, what is the tool that reported the malware? I’ve seen this before with Malwarebytes, and each time it’s been an AI/ML-based issue, that has ultimately been identified by the vendor as a false positive.

Possibile Is my device. Thank you. I Will try again. Lorenzo.

Triage Recorded Future

The First Time i have installed LocalWP, the day After the App didnt open. It remained blocked on my touch. So i reinstall everything again on my PC and LocalWP too. I am waiting some thing happen. Maybe Is my PC.
Ah, please give me the exact command to verify the SHA1.
Thank you, Lorenzo.
