Our .appx demo package is based off of a in-the-wild sample of #Magniber #Ransomware that was signed with a stolen signature (Jan 2022). With this change in Windows 11 it is now possible to install unsigned appx packages (given required perms).

- Looking for the special OID documented by Microsoft here: learn.microsoft.com
We are going to publish our #Yara rules for this tomorrow, stay tuned.
