TTCSIRT-349.09.03.20: TT-CSIRT ADVISORY – Emotet new delivery using a new Word lure document

The Emotet botnet continues to evolve, and now uses a Microsoft Word template to spread its malware. Known as “Red Dawn,” the new infection method involves the user downloading a Word file, and then the file prompts them to enable macros to read the document.

If enabled, the macros then download Emotet onto the victim’s machine. Emotet spam emails try to entice users with information on COVID-19, financial documents or package tracking.
