MD5 is cryptographically broken and should not be used for secure applications. It is recommended to use better replacement algorithms instead.
MD5 is widely used as a hash function for producing 128-bit hash value but it suffers from extensive vulnerabilities and it highly recommended to not use MD5.
Bad practice
h := md5.New()
_, _ = io.Copy(h, f)
