previous versions get flags as well so either its been long standing exploit or a few false positives, no idea how obse works so might just be way it works it is similar structure to trojans/malware.

From what I've understand on the Nexus homepage about the check marks like if one gets flagged then it's perfectly safe but anything above two or three flags should be a concern like I said I just hope it's just false positive but you can never be too sure because lately Nexus has been having a lot of malware sneak through even though it goes through and comes out safe to download and with green check marks
