Persistent.mb in my internal storage?

[Maleficent_X]

I just noticed a file called persistent.mb in my phone's main internal storage, with a date of 29th January 2022 on it. I can't remember seeing it before but it was right at the top of the file list.

I Googled it, and someone on Reddit thought it was related to Malwarebytes, so I just wanted to check in here if that was the case? The Malwarebytes app certainly hasn't flagged anything!

Many thanks in advance.

@Maleficent_X thanks for reaching out!

This file is from us and relates to the Machine ID of your device and helps with restoration of your Premium subscription. We do plan on making changes in the future to remove persistent.mb and related logic so you will no longer see this as a file in your Internal Storage, but there is no ETA on when that will be implemented.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
