QBot malware is back replacing IcedID in malspam campaigns

Malware distributors are rotating payloads once again, switching between trojans that are often an intermediary stage in a longer infection chain. In February, IcedID was the new malware coming from the URLs that used to serve QBot. After about a gap of a month and a half, the malware distributor switched the payload back to QBot (a.k.a. QakBot), which has been seen delivering ProLock, Egregor, and DoppelPaymer ransomware in the past.
