Streaming sites can embed an unhearable data stream into audio signal. It’s possible
That being said, it’s extremely improbable, given the costs to do it at scale.
If you’re part of a large company’s beta program and have access to some unreleased product, maybe worry.
If you grabbed a file from some mega host updown whatever site, don’t worry.
And if you’re still worried, take a sha256 hash and put it into google search. If you get any results that even mention your file’s title, then you’re good.
A stream copy with only a audio change is pretty cheap computation wise.
