Security researchers have identified a new malware that is being used to target consumer bank accounts. The Emomet malware can also steal email usernames and passwords in order to send spam messages from an unsuspecting email account. The spam has primarily been attacking consumers in Germany, but has also been seen in Austria, Switzerland and Hungary. The attack begins with a spam email that claims to come from a bank that is loaded with malware if a consumer interacts with it.
