…security experts discovered that Cicada was using VLC Media Player to deploy a malicious malware loader as part of a long-running cyber attack campaign. Since it was a soft ban, neither the company, nor the Indian government officially announced the banning of the media platform. (Source: SlashDot)

So, my alternative player? MPV. I first wrote about it here…seems like forever, but back it was only May.
