Description

On today's show, we discuss cybersecurity's public enemy number one: Emotet. This piece of malware started in 2014 as a simple banking Trojan, but it later evolved into a fully functional malware business, as its operators sold access to other threat actors and helped load separate malware for a price.

The danger was real, but on January 27, Europol announced they'd taken Emotet down. Today, we talk to Malwarebytes security evangelist Adam Kujawa about Emotet's past, its takedown, and the power vacuum it leaves behind.
