Emotet Now Hacks Nearby Wi-Fi Networks to Spread Like a Worm | Threatpost
While researchers noticed the Wi-Fi spreading binary being delivered for the first time on Jan. 23, they said that the executable has a timestamp of 4/16/2018, hinting that the Wi-Fi spreading behavior has been running unnoticed for almost two years. This may be in part due to how infrequently the binary is dropped, researchers said, as this is the first time they’ve seen it despite tracking Emotet since its return in 2019.
