Like the proverbial bad penny that constantly keeps turning up, the Emotet malware operation has resurfaced yet again — this time after a lull of about three months.

Security researchers this week noted that the group is once again posing a threat to organizations everywhere, with malicious email activity associated with Emotet resuming early on March 7. The emails have been arriving in victim inboxes as innocuous-looking replies to existing email conversations and threads, so recipients are more likely to trust their content. Some of the Emotet emails have been landing as new messages as well.
