6b9bca26dabf6e4e87e23f135e447aae7caf42b9cbf350737affafbe312d07daFrom the file’s version info and the copies recorded by xCyclopedia (MIT). A copy in another folder, signed by someone else or with another hash is not necessarily malicious, but it is worth a closer look. In Ceplin, "<sha256>".whatis() says which known copy a hash is.
