This sophisticated banking Trojan can spread by hacking wifi networks:
Share to twitterBack in 2014, security researchers discovered a new Trojan that targeted victims’ online banking credentials. It’s still infecting systems today — and has developed a sinister new way of spreading.The Emotet Trojan has only gotten more dangerous over time. For the first few years of its existence its controllers were content to target bank accounts. Now it’s a much more versatile piece of malware.
Like many malware authors today, Emotet’s controllers sell access to its network of infected machines to other cybercriminals. It’s a practice that gets referred to as Malware as a service and it’s run in a similar way to many legitimate cloud-based SaaS apps you may use, like Office 365, Slack, or Dropbox .
Once that information has been gathered it’s time to go to work. Emotet launches brute-force attacks on any network it can reach using “internal password lists.” These lists are generally compilations of previously leaked or hacked credentials, and they can include millions or billions of records.
