Rewterz Threat Alert – Emotet – IoCs

Severity

High

Analysis Summary

Emotet Malware is constantly being detected in the wild, targeting organizations from multiple sectors and countries. Emotet is a Trojan that is primarily spread through spam emails (malspam). The infection may arrive either via malicious script, macro-enabled document files, or malicious link. Emotet emails may contain familiar branding designed to look like a legitimate email. Emotet may try to persuade users to click the malicious files by using tempting language about “YourInvoice,” “Payment Details,” or possibly an upcoming shipment from well-known parcel companies. Emotet has gone through a few iterations. Early versions arrived as a malicious JavaScript file. Later versions evolved to use macro-enabled documents to retrieve the virus payload from command and control (C&C) servers run by the attackers. Lately, Emotet infections have been used to distribute other malware like Qakbot. So these can be multi-stage attacks that bundle other malware with emotet. Emotet has also been found stealing email attachments to attack contacts of compromised victims. 
Fresher IoCs are retrieved almost every week.
