Malicious trickbot software has stolen 250 million e-mail accounts from several countries, including the governments of the United States, Great Britain, Canada and others. This software is not new, it has been in vogue since 2016.

According to cybersecurity researchers of Deep Instinct, Trickboat analyzes an e-mail account, collecting contacts that are spreading. After the account hijack, it sends malicious emails, and then removes them from the Outbox and Trash folder, says the researcher.
