As a data filetype, it cannot be infected by a virus.

 

Can it harbor malware? Yes. The program you use to access that

data could conceivably mishandle it and allow malware to execute.

 

Is it currently being done? I have no idea. It would be the player

or other data manipulation program you would have to ask about

for security information.
