Analysing the fall 2020 Emotet campaign
This work addresses cybersecurity threats from malware campaigns, but it is incremental as it focuses on a specific time period without introducing new methods.
The researchers analyzed the fall 2020 Emotet campaign to understand its attack vectors, infrastructure, and payload impact, using a dataset of emails, documents, executables, and domains.
In this report, we analyse the latest campaign of Emotet that had a significant impact in several countries worldwide. We leverage the data of a specifically crafted dataset, which contains emails, documents, executables and domains from the latest campaign. The goal is to analyse the attack vector, map the infrastructure used in various stages of the campaign and perform a surface analysis of Emotet's malicious payloads to assess their potential impact.
