    Hello Janos Szabo

    Defender shows when there is suspicious code in the files, it can’t detect the purpose. So, sometimes the same function can be used for good and bad purpose. When Defender sees that function anywhere, it just warns you, so that you can check and verify.

    Here the warning about snapshot, snapshot uses some API libraries that are provided by AWS, Dropbox, Drive etc. In the screenshot, you can see that it comes from FTP library. As those libraries are from third party (of course we checked and verified the libraries that we uses), so we can’t modify that. That is the reason of those warnings and yes, this is a false positive.

    I hope it helps! Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions regarding this :slight_smile:

    Cheers,
    Ash
