What are this terrible trio up to, and how do you stay safe?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Emotet and holidays like Black Friday are good pals. That\u2019s because Emotet\u2019s seasonal specialty is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.welivesecurity.com\/2018\/11\/23\/black-friday-special-emotet-filling-inboxes-infected-xml-macros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filling your inbox<\/a>&nbsp;with holiday \u201cdeals\u201d that aim to compromise your machine, steal valuable data and account credentials and open it up to subsequent attacks from other malicious actors.<\/p>\n<p>This year, we saw Emotet flooding inboxes with malicious emails in monthly campaigns running from August to October \u2013 campaigns that reached into the low tens of thousands of detections in ESET telemetry:<\/p>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/csm_Figure_1.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"align-center\">Figure 1: Monthly Emotet campaigns detected in ESET telemetry<\/p>\n\n<p>Right around Halloween, and leading up to Black Friday, Emotet went quiet. It\u2019s suspected by ESET researchers that Emotet\u2019s operators are taking a little downtime before roaring the spam engine back to life for 2020\u2019s Black Friday and the following pre-Christmas period.<\/p>\n<p>While Emotet\u2019s writers have, in the past, placed a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eset.com\/blog\/enterprise\/emotet-trojan-frustrated-by-eset-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rude comment or two<\/a>&nbsp;about ESET in their malware binaries, ESET protection has not been outdone. Dealing with Emotet\u2019s attacks can be as simple as being cautious, by not clicking on links in emails, avoiding the \u201cEnable Content\u201d button in documents that arrive as attachments of suspicious, yet legitimate-looking, emails and using security software like&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/eset.version-2.sg\/home\/internet-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESET Internet Security<\/a>&nbsp;that protects you when you accidentally click.<\/p>\n<p>The other specials Emotet likes to offer are its friends, Qbot and Trickbot. Emotet is known to serve up both Trickbot and Qbot malware to its victims. Both these malevolent families are more than happy to help themselves to victims\u2019 sensitive information, credentials and other valuable data, and often finish their nasty business by installing ransomware such as Ryuk or Conti.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see how busy Trickbot and Qbot \u2013 Emotet\u2019s friends \u2013 have been in the past few months:<\/p>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/csm_Figure_2.png\" alt=\"\">\n<\/p>\n\n<p>While Trickbot\u2019s detection numbers remain in the hundreds \u2013 likely due to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.welivesecurity.com\/2020\/10\/12\/eset-takes-part-global-operation-disrupt-trickbot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent disruption efforts<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 Qbot has been quite busy, with detection numbers for the malware reaching the low thousands from August to October. In fact, following Halloween, Emotet detection numbers subsided, while Qbot detection numbers kept their former levels. That would suggest that Qbot is also using other distribution channels to get into potential victims\u2019 inboxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to stay safe from malicious bots\n<\/strong>Emotet and its buddies don\u2019t just flood your inbox with dangerous malspam, but they also go after other devices in your network. Trickbot, for example, has been using hacked routers for a long time for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.virusradar.com\/en\/glossary\/command-and-control-server\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">command and control<\/a>. Therefore, it is important to review the security settings of all your home devices.<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n \t<li>You can find some practical tips on how to configure your home router securely&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.welivesecurity.com\/2017\/10\/26\/secure-your-router-prevent-iot-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n \t<li>&nbsp;If you use child trackers and watches, smart doorbells, smart security cameras or smart home hubs, you can read up on the privacy and security considerations surrounding their use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.welivesecurity.com\/2020\/05\/20\/these-things-may-be-cool-but-are-they-safe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n \t<li>If you want to test your mettle against phishing emails or malspam, you can find a few options&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.welivesecurity.com\/2020\/02\/03\/would-you-get-hooked-phishing-scam-test-yourself\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n \t<li>Finally, don\u2019t forget to protect all your devices with security solutions like&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/eset.version-2.sg\/home\/mobile-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESET Mobile Security<\/a>&nbsp;for Android,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/eset.version-2.sg\/home\/internet-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESET Internet Security<\/a>&nbsp;for Windows or&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/eset.version-2.sg\/home\/cyber-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESET Cyber Security<\/a>&nbsp;for macOS.
