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.
