The venerable banking Trojan known as Q-bot is back in the news, having recently been spotted in the wild as part of a sophisticated new phishing campaign designed to claim a new generation of victims.
The reason Q-bot is still enjoying use of stolen data is that it's very good at what it does, and the developers of the code have taken steps to keep it up to date. This, combined with finding new and innovative ways of introducing the Trojan onto target systems has made it as close to a persistent threat as we've seen when it comes to malicious code.
All this makes it increasingly more difficult to effectively defend against such threats. Stay vigilant and never open emails or click links inside emails, even if they appear to be from a trusted source.

Ever Heard of Emotet?
If you’ve seen emails that use language about “Your Invoice”, “Payment Details,” or an upcoming shipment from well know parcel company, then you’ve seen an Emotet.
Emotet is a Trojan that is primarily spread through spam emails (malspam). It’s been around since 2014 but is polymorphic – which means it can change itself everytime it’s downloaded. So it evolves. Again, more to be on the look out for.
