Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file that is less than 24 hours old. I was streamed using VLC version 3.0.20 form the repose on Linux.

    Absolutely yes. Even if it is not disguised executable.

    It could contain an exploit which targets the video player you are opening it with.
