Thursday's release provides a few new rules protecting against the Emotet botnet. Everyone already knows about Emotet, but it continues to grow, most recently targeting state and other local government agencies, according to a recent advisory from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Talos has added and modified multiple rules in the malware-cnc and server-other rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies.
