  I think they meant they were using malware detection tools that would often flag it because of the Chinese language issue and just assumed that’s what was up when it flagged it this time.

  Kinda like the boy who cried wolf, they ignored it when there really was a wolf.

    You’re telling me there are malware detection tools that hit on the Chinese language? Like anything from China is malicious?

      I’m just saying that’s how I interpreted that bit. They thought it was a false positive because of that. For all I know, the earlier ones might have also been real malware or maybe it was all made up.
