Necurs Botnet Returns with Get-Rich-Quick Spam - Infosecurity Magazine
Reported by infosecurity-magazine.com
The Necurs botnet has seen a recent spike in activity, shifting its intent from malware distribution to penny stock pump-and-dump spamming.
According to Cisco Talos, over the past year Necurs has been used primarily for the distribution of Locky ransomware and Dridex. But after it mysteriously went offline earlier this year, Locky distribution declined significantly.
