Voldemort is a Windows malware family.

Background

Voldemort is a backdoor that Proofpoint first identified in August 2024. It spreads through phishing emails and employs inventive tricks, including the use of saved search files within the infection chain to obscure activity and Google Sheets for command and control. Although the wide scope of its targeting resembles ecrime, Proofpoint observes that the malware's feature set is more consistent with espionage or APT operations.
