So it only works if you open a file with a .lnk extension?

Based on the title, I first thought subtitles embedded in a container (like MKV) could be used to launch malware.

Thankfully this is not the case. I was really worried for a second.

This honestly has nothing to do with video formats or even torrents.

If you are pirating you should have enough common sense to not click on random .lnk files.

Most reputable trackers/indexers don't allow .lnk files or even random raw M2TS files.
