After months of inactivity, the notorious Emotet spamming trojan has come alive again as it spews out a massive campaign of malicious emails targeting users worldwide.
Emotet is a malware infection that spreads through spam emails containing malicious Word or Excel documents. These documents utilize macros to download and install the Emotet Trojan on a victim’s computer, which installs other malware over time and using the infected computer to send further spam emails.
