Qakbot Malware’s Uninvited Comeback: A Phishing Party in the Hospitality Sector!

Just when we thought it was “lights out” for Qakbot malware, it’s back, and its eyes are on the hospitality sector. This notorious cyber villain, unimpressed by the FBI’s bedtime story, shuns sleep, opting instead for a phishing spree, IRS style. Yes folks, the Qakbot…

Hot Take:

Just when we thought we'd seen the last of the Qakbot malware, it's back and ready to party! The FBI and other law enforcement agencies thought they had put the Windows botnet to bed, but it seems Qakbot has a case of insomnia. Now, the ever resilient Qakbot is targeting the hospitality sector, using the tried and true method of phishing emails disguised as IRS documents. It's almost like the bad guys are getting smarter... or maybe they just really, really hate tax season.
