Emotet is back on Christmas Eve, after two months of silence, cybercrime operators are sending out spam messages to deliver the infamous Trickbot Trojan.
The recent Emotet campaign uses updated payloads and is targeting over 100,000 recipients per day.
“After a lull of nearly two months, the Emotet botnet has returned with updated payloads. The changes are likely meant to help Emotet avoid detection both by victims and network defenders.” reads the post published by Cofense. “Apart from these updates, the campaigns’ targeting, tactics and secondary payloads remain consistent with previous active periods.”
