Emotet Evolves With new Wi-Fi Spreader

This report analyzes an Emotet loader variant that enumerates local Wi‑Fi networks using wlanAPI, brute‑forces Wi‑Fi and SMB credentials to pivot across networks, drops a service (service.exe) and executes the Emotet payload; it documents worm.exe and service.exe behaviors, hard‑coded C2s and URIs (e.g., 87.106.37.146:8080 and 45.79.223.161:443), and provides YARA and Suricata detection signatures along with mitigation recommendations (strong Wi‑Fi passwords, monitor for new services and processes in temp/profile folders).
