This latest phishing scam is spreading fake invoices loaded with malware
Emotet launched its attacks as a banking Trojan, transforming itself into a botnet, then criminals leased it to process malicious programming. Emotet delivered two-thirds of malicious payloads last year as part of phishing attacks. Malware does not slow down, and strikes were targeted at financial services, the food industry, the media, and transport. The strength of the attacks is enormous in the US, UK, and attempts have been recently made to the Philippines, Spain, and India.
