Qakbot (also known as Qbot) is a banking trojan designed to steal personal information. Cyber criminals proliferate this virus using spam email campaigns. These emails are delivered with malicious attachments (Microsoft Office [typically Word] documents) that are presented as various important documents (bills, invoices, and so on). Criminals attempt to trick users into opening these files, which then leads to infiltration of Qakbot. In most cases, spam emails are sent via the Geodo (Emotet) botnet.
