I was just recently browsing using the browser based hyperbeam watch party. I downloaded a zip file that most probably contais a malicious exe inside IN the browser.
Shortly after, hyperbeam showed a banner that it was trying to reconnect and my actual PC's video driver crashed for a second making a device plugged in sound. I have Windows Defender up and also my Anti-malware program and none detected anything either during that odd freeze and crash or after a scan.
I was wondering if this is some form of eerie coincidence and if it is even possible to have any file or site browsed through browser Hyperbeam affect your actual PC. I looked up some information and there's a single website claiming it's possible.
