Description
Emotet malware is spread through emails with large (~500+ MB) zip attachments containing Word documents with malicious macros. When enabled, the macros download another zip file, which contains an inflated 64-bit DLL file, also over 500+ MB in size, that installs Emotet. The infection pattern is similar to previous Emotet infections, ultimately leading to the malware establishing communication with its command and control (C2) server and engaging in spambot activity.
