Someone sent me some personal anki decks for revision.
Wanted to ask whether there is the possibility they can have viruses and if so how can I tell.
#Can unlisted anki decks be a scam/ have malware/virus?

Yes...but it would be the most niche piece of malware I've ever seen. I used to be a hobbist cybersec nerd. Since you can have javascript in anki cards I imagine you could do some XSS or something with it. However I find it incredibly unlikely. If someone wanted to 'hack' you there are much easier and more effective ways than an Anki deck.

No, you couldn't tell.
You should only import decks or use add-ons if you trust the source.
