Emotet malware self-destructs after cops deliver time-bomb DLL to infected Windows PCs

Notorious Windows malware Emotet was automatically wiped from computers yesterday by European law enforcement using a customized DLL. This specially crafted time bomb caused the software to self-destruct on Sunday, April 25. The code was distributed at the end of January to Emotet-infected computers by the malware's command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, which had just been seized in a multinational police operation.
