I have preformed professional penetration testing irl and have of course studied black-hat hacking. Like I said before I have hid an encrypted archive "encoded"/intergraded into the data of a movie, and I was able to burn that to a dvd. So I dont understand why a bad guy couldnt do the same thing with any malicious code. If you have VLC or notepad++ as your default, for example, they are third-party applications which are susceptible to supply-chain attacks! Futhermore, unless you're browsing the web with all scripts off, cookies off, SSL encryption-forced, and/or with a trusted VPN for websites without the certificate, then you are vulnerable to many basic attacks which may not even involve downloading a movie! the website hosting the supposedly safe "movie file" may exploit you as well as any single of the pop-ups & FAST redirects! Even the dark web's, TOR, security can be bypass by an WebRTC stun request - many who use tor for serious purposes know how strict you must be with security while browsing the web!
