Emotet botnet returns after law enforcement mass-uninstall operation

An anonymous reader writes: The Emotet malware botnet is back up and running once again almost ten months after an international law enforcement operation took down its command and control servers earlier this year in January.

The comeback is surprising because after taking over Emotet’s server infrastructure, law enforcement officials also orchestrated a mass-uninstall of the malware from all infected computers on April 25, effectively wiping out the entire botnet across the internet.
