Emotet ends its break after 4 months and starts spreading malware again

Emotet is a malware infection distributed through phishing campaigns.

Phishing campaign containing Emotet include malicious Excel or Word documents. When users open these documents and enable macros, the Emotet DLL will be downloaded and loaded into memory.

The malware once loaded will search for and steal emails to use in future spam campaigns and drop additional payloads such as Cobalt Strike or other malware that commonly leads to ransomware attacks.

Once downloaded, the malware will quietly run in the background while connecting to the Command and Control server for further instructions or to install additional payloads.
