A vigilante hacker is sabotaging the Emotet botnet by replacing malware payloads with GIFs
Emotet botnet activity goes down as Emotet admins are wrestling with a vigilante for control over parts of their infrastructure.
An unknown vigilante hacker has been sabotaging the operations of the recently-revived Emotet botnet by replacing Emotet payloads with animated GIFs, effectively preventing victims from getting infected.
The sabotage, which started three days ago, on July 21, has grown from a simple joke to a serious issue impacting a large portion of the Emotet operation.
According to Cryptolaemus, a group of white-hat security researchers tracking the Emotet botnet, the vigilante is now poisoning around a quarter of all Emotet's payload downloads.
