What is TrickBot?
TrickBot is one of the longest-lived botnets on the internet and represents a major threat to businesses and other organizations because it serves as a distribution platform for the infamous Ryuk ransomware and other threat actors. In October, Microsoft together with several partners launched a coordinated action to disrupt the botnet’s command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, and while the battle for control of the botnet is ongoing, the TrickBot gang already has a backup plan in place: an even stealthier crimeware tool they’ve been developing since earlier this year.
