Police take down Emotet, the “world’s most dangerous” botnet
Verdict
Emotet, called "the world's most dangerous" botnet, has been taken down. During the pandemic, Emotet's malicious Word documents often purported to contain information on Covid-19 as the cybercriminals played on people’s fears. Chris Morales, head of security analytics at Vectra, said that this is the equivalent of taking down an AWS or Azure major data center.
