A major operation by security agencies from around the world saw critical infrastructure behind the Emotet botnet taken offline this week, but the malware which has helped earn criminal gangs millions of dollars could return, security experts say.
Emotet, which is used as a door opener to infect systems and allow threat actors to deploy secondary malwares or ransomware attacks, has been a prominent cyber threat since 2014. On Wednesday Europol announced that 700 of its servers had been taken offline.
