The Security box, podcast 149: Emotet is back, bigger and better than ever

Hello folks, and welcome to the Security Box Podcast. This is probably the first time in quite awhile that we have gotten the podcast out, EMHS up, and a blog post ready to go.

I decided well after I put the cast together that we wouldn’t do the review of Hacked Again which I mentioned we’d play at the end. I kind of forgot, than realized it as I tagged it. Maybe we’ll play that next week, although we have played I believe before.

For those who don’t like RSS, here is the 112.5mb file for you to have.

Below, please find the show notes for today’s program and thanks so much for participating!

We hope to see you next time.

Welcome to the Security box, podcast 149. On this podcast, we may or may not have a moron, we’ll definitely have news, notes and the landscape and a topic talking about a threat we thought was long gone.

Good Job India, welcome to the moron of the podcast

I stumbled across a video from a Youtube Channel which I am not familiar with. While Nick was in my JRN working room, I decided to see if there was an article about this. While the podcast gets a 9 minute video, check out this article titled India first democracy to ban encrypted messaging apps on massive scale. from a site called tutanota.com. They must be a news related site, name sounds familiar to me. Have fun with this one!

Here’s the youtube video from Mental Outlaw if you want to watch this instead of listening to it.

Topic: Emotet is back, now a threat

The article comes to us this time from Phishlabs. Emotet Returns from Hiatus, Trails QBot in Q1 Volume is the title.

Are you surprised that this is the case? We know that Emotet was taken down in a crqackdown, but like most things, they come back in this industry. Feel free to view the article for complete details or download your copy of the show to hear our thoughts.
