Cybersecurity researchers from Cisco Talos have spotted a new hacking campaign they claim is targeting victims’ sensitive data, login credentials, and email inboxes.

Horabot is described as a botnet that has been active for almost two and a half years now (first spotted in November 2020). During that time, it’s mostly been tasked with distributing a banking trojan and spam malware.
