"trojan.Emotet is Malwarebytes’ detection name for a banking Trojan that can steal data, such as user credentials stored on the browser, by eavesdropping on network traffic. Due to its effective combination of persistence and network propagation, Trojan.Emotet is often used as a downloader for other malware, and is an especially popular delivery mechanism for banking Trojans, such as Qakbot and TrickBot.

Compromised systems regularly contact Emotet’s Command and Control servers (C2) to retrieve updates and new payloads."
