Danabot malware is back to infecting Windows after 6-month break

Danabot malware has resurfaced after a six-month hiatus, targeting Windows systems once again. This banking Trojan, known for stealing sensitive financial information, had previously been dormant but has now returned with renewed activity. The malware primarily spreads through phishing campaigns and malicious attachments, exploiting vulnerabilities in Windows environments to infiltrate systems. Once installed, Danabot can intercept banking credentials, inject malicious code into web browsers, and evade detection through advanced obfuscation techniques. Security researchers emphasize the importance of updated antivirus solutions and cautious email handling to mitigate the risk of infection. Organizations and individuals are urged to remain vigilant, apply security patches promptly, and educate users about phishing threats to prevent Danabot's spread. This resurgence highlights the persistent threat posed by banking Trojans and the need for continuous cybersecurity vigilance in protecting financial assets and personal data.
