Emotet Emails Strike Thousands of DNC Volunteers

Hundreds of U.S. organizations on Thursday received emails purporting to come from the Democratic National Committee, in a new politically charged Emotet spear-phishing attack. The email messages had the subject line Team Blue Take Action, with a message body taken directly from a page on the DNC s (DNC) website (democrats.org/team-blue) This message body describes Team Blue, which is the 2018 volunteer recruitment program and says that Team Blue is being relaunched for the 2020 campaign. Once victims clicked on the links in the text messages, they are asked to hand over their banking credentials and download a file that infects their systems.
