Proofpoint researchers detected nearly 100 campaigns that specifically geo-targeted Canada or were customized for Canadian audiences in the first four months of 2019 mostly using the Emotet banking trojan, according to Proofpoint’s Beyond “North America” report.

“Emotet activity in 2019 included several high-volume campaigns that collectively distributed tens of millions of messages primarily targeting the manufacturing and healthcare industries,” researchers noted in the report.
Along with Emotet, the Ursnif banking trojan also accounted for a large volume of malware strains that appeared in Canada and North America while to a lesser extent other strands like GandCrab ransomware appeared in a number of lower volume campaigns.

Ultimately researchers found phishing attacks, Business Email Compromise (BEC), and other forms of imposter attacks remain among the ongoing most popular threats both internationally and in Canada.
