An "update" pushed out earlier this year by law enforcement agencies, including Europol, on Sunday began erasing Emotet malware from infected devices worldwide, according to a blog posting from Malwarebytes.
The “update” file - a customized DLL file called EmotetLoader.dllsent - was activated on infected devices to erase the malware, Malwarebytes reports.
Europol has not issued an announcement on the action and did not immediately reply to Information Security Media Group's request for comment.
Today at 1:00 PM, our #Emotet-infected machine that had received the special law enforcement file triggered its uninstallation routine.
