The French national cyber-security agency issues an alert warning of a surge in Emotet attacks. Attacks against French organizations suddenly increased in the last few days. The alert comes after the malware came back to life with a massive campaign of malicious spam starting July 17. The malware is used by a threat group tracked as TA542 and Mummy Spider, originally a run-of-the-mill banking Trojan first spotted in 2014, is now a malware botnet used by the threat group.
