Hello,

Is this an false positive or has the page of this Stock exchange been hacked?

I prefer to keep it blocked until you get a reply from ESET Staff , but here what Packed Agent can do

Trojan-Downloader:W32/Agent.D is typically found on certain malicious sites. When activated, it downloads an EXE file from a website and saves it into the root directory of the C drive. The downloaded file is then run.

I've scanned the url in virustotal and I didn't receive anything , but I will see other websites

Can you make the link you have posted from https to hxxps so it will be unclickable , so if it's really infected it won't infect someone who will click by mistake.

Any.run and VirusTotal and Hybrid-Analysis has found nothing.

But one test with Firefox in Any.run has some suspicious activity , it could be false positive :

Since Eset detected a packed malicious JavaScript, it appears its detection is correct.

Also any.run detected malicious activity while using Firefox , but didn't when using Internet Explorer and Firefox that's why I got confused.

Assuming you're running IE11 in AppContainer, it would block any thing from running outside of it. Also, IE11 has built-in protection against cross-scripting attacks.

Not really.

Microsoft considers it "abandonware" and is not really providing security enhancements to it anymore. It will patch known security vulnerabilities and that's about it. Ditto for third party sources that have also written it off.

I fully expect MS to "pull the plug" on it in the near future since Win 7 is no longer supported. Definitely this will occur when Win 8.1 hits end of life.

I still wonder why it's included instead of Edge with servers like 2019 and 2016

But IE is used for example with a software like FortiVPN Client,  which will use and take settings from IE , I don't know why , but without it , the software will not work.

I don't use IE since Windows XP days.

According to this: https://azurementor.wordpress.com/2019/03/21/how-to-fix-forticlient-vpn-connection-issue-on-windows-server-2019-azure-vm/ it is only used in VM environment.

Hello,

after some research I have more and more the assumption that the responsible file (chartiq.js) is a false positive:
hxxps://www.boerse-stuttgart.de/assets/statics/chartiq.js?v=637110457080000000

It would certainly be a good idea if someone from ESET could check this.
Thanks in advance.

Contact the web site owner and tell them to remove the obfuscated/suspect hidden code in the script. As it stands presently, Eset has no way of determining if what is hidden is malicious or not.
