Everything about Emotet
Cybercrime operation and malware strain
Emotet is a malware strain and a cybercrime operation believed to be based in Ukraine. The malware, also known as Heodo, was first detected in 2014 and deemed one of the most prevalent threats of the decade. In 2021, the servers used for Emotet were disrupted through global police action in Germany and Ukraine and brought under the control of law enforcement. Despite this disruption, Emotet resurfaced in subsequent years with new capabilities, continuing to be regarded as one of the Internet’s most persistent and adaptable threats. Wikipedia →
