CISA warns of Emotet Botnet attacks targeting state and local government agencies. Botnet called ‘one of the most prevalent ongoing threats’ since it resurged in July, CISA says. CISA and MS-ISAC have seen a significant increase in malicious cyber actors targeting local governments with EmOTet phishing emails. The botnet works as a downloader or dropper of other malware, delivering Trojans and other malicious code to infected devices, the agency says. The malware is difficult to combat because of its ‘worm-like’ features.”]
