Very long story short. I needed a USB Microscope for another rabbit hole.. then I had a thought. Is Amazon marketplace being used to distribute malware? I bought a $20 USB Microscope from Amazon after reading the review below which caught my interest.
Camera: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SR7YPV5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

There were several reasons why the ad stood out specifically; 1) Several identical units under various sellers/brands. 2)4,800+ purchases for an item w/ several versions. 3) 80 people found "Buyer beware of virus/spyware!" to be a 'helpful' Customer Review. 4) No direct seller contact information available online other than email address. 5) Selling since 2019(ish). That is a long time for any non-professional camera device.
After the unit arrived I went ahead and ran the softwares it was supplied with through VirusTotal. A cryptominer Trojan Horse and bot were found with file autorun.exe [Trojan.Win32.Miner.oa!s1 && https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/54d268d385ad74ce096bc3848169eca9d8f70efb7e6d22bec68aa294ac32e27e]. Autorun.exe is A file which would automatically run on any Windows PC once the CD is inserted.

False positive? Or new-new obfuscation? I would like to dig a little more.
https://www.jiusion.com/ Is pretty much a mirror of the Microscope sellers' website [https://bysameyee.com/]. When you initiate a search on address 'jiusion@outlook.com' you return A LOT of results and may begin to formulate a picture of their business model. They [possibly could] flood the market with an inexpensive USB microscope, with malware as software, and abandon shop when the outlook isn't great. Then open a new one. Fly-by-night 'usb' brands.
Most data resources associated with that same email are sketchy and almost ALL include links to download AV software and or alternative product drivers. I'll pass.
I decided to download all drivers and softwares directly from the Jiusion website and process through VirusTotal. Nothing was flagged...until Amcap.zip

More flase positives?

Now, this one, is simply interesting when compared to the product listings. There is a big push to connect this camera to an Android device. The packing includes a usb OTG adapter and the device manual states it does not support Apple devices.

My RE skills are not the greatest. I doubt I will further research. I was more so curious to see if Amazon took any steps to research product security, based on reviews, after being reported. A few years ago I reported a Uokoo wifi camera that was phoning home at odd hours of the day. I never received a response from the merchant, the manufacturer [in Shenzen], nor Amazon YET the product line was pulled entirely shortly after reported! Uokoo operated with a similar business model from my research.
At this point, the average consumer, should purchase something more reputable.
Yes. I'm keeping the scope.
TLDR video version;
*Yes, I know, a low YT score is usually a good sign. Not always!
