EMOTET TROJAN IN U.S.A

PA 106 ( KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND ICT FOR PA

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• The issues of emotet trojan in U.S.A are the widespread impact across
sectors, High remediation costs, Evolving tactics and targets, Persistent
threats despite disruption, Challenges in detection and remediation,
Potential for further malware distribution, Exploitation of network
vulnerabilities, Targeting of US internet providers. Emotet trojan is the
respective email contains a malicious link or an inspected document. If
you download the documents or open the link further malware is
automatically downloaded onto your computer. These emails were
created to look very authentic and many people have fallen victim to
emotet
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• the solution to protect yourself from emotet trojan are keep up to data,
security updates, virus protection, do not download dubious attachment,
back up your data, use only strong passwords, file extensions.
INTRODUCTION
• Emotet trojan has been a significant cyber security threats in the
United States, causing widespread damage and disruption. This
advanced malware, know for its rapid spread and ability to
delivered other malicious payloads, has target individual
businesses, and government agencies. The emotet Trojan a
notorious malware first observed in europe in 2024, has made
significant inroads into the United States wreaking havoc on in
individuals, business and government entities. This case study will
explore the evolution of emotets tactics its impact on american in
institution and the ongoing efforts to combat its spread. Emote
began as a banking trojan, primarily target financial institution in
Germany and Australia. It quickly evolved into sophisticated
malware-as-a service platform. Capable of distribution other
malware and launching large-scale phishing campaign.
BACKGROUND
• Emotet is a computer malware program that was originally
developed in the form of a banking trojan. The goal was to
access foreign device and spy on sentive private data.
Emotet that has been known to device basic antivirus
program and hide from them. Once infected, the malware
spreads like a computer worm and attemps to infiltrate
other computers in the networks. Emotet spread mainly
through gam emails. The respective email content a
malicious link or an infected document or open the link,
further malware is automatically downloaded onto your
computer. These emails were created to look very authentic
and many people have fallen victim to emotet. Emotet is
involved from a banking Trojan into dropper, which means
that the Trojan reloads malware onto device, these are
there responsible for the actual damage of the system.

DISCUSSION
• RAPID PROPAGATION
• * emotet's ability to self-propagate thought infected networks,
using stolen credential to access other device.
• DATA THEFT
• *Emotet's capability to steal sensitive information, including
personal data financial records, and intellectual property.
• INSTALLATION OF ADDITIONAL MALWARE
• * Emotet often service a delivery mechanism for other malicious
payloads, such as ransom ware or banking Trojan.
• NETWORKS DISRUPTION
• * Emotet's ability to overload networks and consume system
resources leading slowdown and out ages.

• Evidence: Emotet primarily spreads though phishing email.
• *STRONG ENDPOINT SECURITY:
• Evidence: emotet can infection various devices including computer,
laptops, and mobile devices.
• *NETWORK SECURITY MEASURES:
• Evidence: Emotet can spread laterally within networks, compromising
multiple devices.
• *INCIDENT RESPONSE PLANNING AND PREPAREDNESS:
• Evidence: Effective incident response can minimize damage and accelerate
recovery.
• *INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND INTELLIGENCE SHARING:
• Evidence: Emoted is a global threat, requiring international collaboration
to disrupt its operations.
