Daily alleged bills, reminders, coupons, pishing waves in the name of large companies - Frightening! - And we are sadly almost used with these. But the cyber criminals are now opening new doors with "Emotet". If you, as a golf club, have become infected with "Emotet", this malware does not only read "contact" relationships, but also e-mail content from your mailboxes. This means that more authentic looking SPAM emails will be sent on your behalf, infecting many others you have recently interacted with. "Emotet" can even reload other malicious software as soon as a computer is infected. These malicious programs allow the criminal attackers, to read access data for online banking, for example. Not only you, but also your customers can be subjects of these attacks.
The most important information about this virus and how you can protect yourself can be found on BSI's website (Federal Office for Security): Please always stay alert!
