Over the weekend, security researchers observed another botnet called Trickbot dropping a loader for the Emotet malware on infected devices.

The malware is written in Golang and currently has low antivirus detection rate.

The campaign is aimed at high-profile individuals in India, like officers of the Armed Forces.

The attack "entirely paralyzed" the plant in El Prat de Llobregat, which produces seven million hectolitres of beer a year.

Fake alerts reached at least 100,000 inboxes, but the number could much higher, as the researchers believe that "the campaign was potentially much, much larger."

Between September 2014 and December 2016, Aleksandr Zhukov operated a fake ad network that stole stole more than $7 million from U.S. companies.

The MACMA malware “seems to be a product of extensive software engineering,” the researchers said.

The new campaign leverages the original IDA Pro 7.5 software bundled with two malicious components.

The hackers obtained an access key, which provided access to a limited subset of information held in the Aruba Central cloud environment.

The group has been active since at least 2015, primarily focusing on cyberespionage and data theft.
