I recently asked if MAS was save to activate windows, it turns out it was as I hoped.

However, I’ve one last doubt: I downloaded the iso from MASSGRAVE (it-it_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_may_2024_x64_dvd_49ddadb6.iso) and I installed that already.

Also, I logged in my accounts and used sensible passwords already, should I be worried about this? (I ask because some pirates said the ISO should have been downloaded from Microsoft website :/ ).

Please let me know your opinions

    You can check the md5 hash checksum provided by Microsoft to verify the authenticity. Massgrave gets it from Microsoft, it’s a legit ISO just rehosted.

        Did you check the md5? If they were different, it could be anything (it doesn’t imply modifications from massgrave either)

        As for logic, bad actors would do anything. Even hijacking a server and replacing the ISOs of other hackers, or infiltrate the group and do so.
