Emotet, the notorious email-based Windows malware behind several botnet-driven spam campaigns and ransomware attacks, was automatically wiped from infected computers en masse following a European law enforcement operation. Law enforcement authorities from the Netherlands, Germany, the U.K., France, Lithuania, Canada, and Ukraine were involved in the international action. The cleanup routine was set to trigger itself automatically on April 25, 2021, working by removing the malware from the device, in addition to deleting the autorun Registry key and terminating the process. As of writing, Abuse.ch’s Feodo Tracker shows none of the network’s servers are online.
