"When it comes to email-based threats, Emotet dominates"
Emotet has displaced credential stealers, stand-alone downloaders and RATs and has become the most prominent threat delivered via email. During a study of Q1 2019, it was found that 61 percent of all malicious payloads distributed via email were Emotet. Emotet started its life as a banking Trojan, but has since been morphed over time and has become a malware multi-tool, capable of downloading additional malware, stealing passwords, performing brute-force attacks against accounts, sending out spam, and sending out malicious emails.
