A malspam campaign is actively distributing Emotet payloads via emails that warn the targets of coronavirus infection reports in various prefectures from Japan, including Gifu, Osaka, and Tottori. The end goal of such spam emails is to trick their recipient into opening an attached Word document designed to download and install the EmOTet malware. This secondary payload will allow the attackers to harvest user credentials, browser history, and sensitive documents that will be packed and sent to attacker-controlled storage servers.
