Security teams would do well to deploy an advanced email security solution that prevents phishing emails
from reaching users; without this, any business could be destroyed by ransomware, and sensitive
information can be stolen.

Publicly outing suspicious behavior alerts bad actors that their misdeeds do not go unnoticed. Several
weeks after we shed light on the campaign, Doener realized that threat detection teams were catching
onto their ruse. By November 5, 2022, Doener had purged the Discord server previously used to
communicate with other hackers using Doenerium malware, and also removed the link to the malware
from the official Github repository. Despite this, a few weeks still allows ample time for hackers to win big,
further demonstrating the need for advanced email security solutions that will stamp out threats instantly.

In the nefarious world of cybercrime, there are no Robin Hoods - only robbers. As these bad actors
continue to push the envelope, we must all be able to recognize the difference between good email and
bad email, even before they arrive in our inboxes.
