released on 2019-10-01 @ 07:27:03 PM
Qbot, or Qakbot, is a banking trojan that has been seen in the wild for at least 10 years. Recent campaigns have been often delivered by exploit kits and weaponized documents delivered via context-aware phishing campaigns. Qbot has also been suspected of delivering MegaCortex ransomware. Many recent samples are observed to conduct worm-like behavior to spread across network shares or via SMB, and contain multiple levels of anti-analysis controls such as VM awareness and lengthy execution delays.
