Emotet is one of the most widely distributed and actively developed malware families on the crimeware landscape today. Emotet began purely as a banking trojan, but over the years, has continued to evolve and more recently, has been associated with some larger-scale targeted Ryuk ransomware infections. Emotet is commonly delivered via both macro-laden office documents, as well as URL-based spam messages that lead to an eventual infection. It's not uncommon to see Emotet reuse of some of the command and control (C2) servers over more extended periods. The goal of Emotet, as is the case with crimeware-based threats, is monetary. Attackers use Emotet to deliver modular payloads it can use to monetize infections
