Good to know! I know it's stupid and not at all the case, but I had read about a virus that ran on an old version of Windows when you open a file because Windows needed to compile the file to open it and the exploit took advantage of a vulnerability in that compiler to rescale to admin permissions, and I think about that when downloaded this serie.
You can hide malware in EXIF metadata.
Just let common sense and be always aware of abnormal device behavior.
There has also been a number of malwares targeted at codec decoders, VLC was at one time a big target, not sure that is true now a days though
