Emotet malware’s new ‘Red Dawn’ attachment is just as dangerous

The Emotet botnet has begun to use a new template for their malicious attachments. These attachments are malicious Word (.doc) attachments or link to download one. When opened, these attachments will prompt a user to ‘Enable Content’ so that malicious macros will run to install the EmOTet malware on a victim’s computer. The new ‘Red Dawn’ attachment template is named after Joseph Roosen, the botnet expert. It is vital to recognize these malicious document templates so that you do not accidentally become infected.
