Through a complex and tiered command and control (C2) infrastructure, this globally distributed botnet is one of the most prolific spam botnets in operation today. Emotet demonstrates the ongoing evolution of botnet operators and the network of infected devices they rely on to conduct criminal activities on the internet. Black Lotus Labs is the threat and research operations arm of CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL).
Part of the danger of Emotet is how pervasive it is. "Over the past six months, we have, on average, identified 40,000 unique Emotet bots daily," said Mike Benjamin, Head of Black Lotus Labs. Through our network visibility and advanced analysis, CenturyLink can identify and respond to sophisticated threats like Emotet.
