Ransomware gang QakBot resurfaces after feds’ botnet takedown

Despite authorities dismantling their botnet and seizing their infrastructure, the Qakbot malware gang keeps staging cyberattacks. Even though physical arrests weren’t made, researchers believe the cybercriminals may rebuild and continue their activities. The focus is on the Ransom Knight ransomware and the Remcos backdoor, both allegedly distributed via phishing emails by Qakbot. The latter has reportedly caused hundreds of millions in losses since 2008.
