The original threat actor behind the Octo malware family has released a new variant, Octo2, with enhanced stability for remote action capabilities to facilitate Device Takeover attacks.  This new variant targets European countries and employs sophisticated obfuscation techniques, including the Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA), to evade detection and ensure the Trojan remains undetected. The Exobot malware family, initially a banking trojan, evolved into ExobotCompact in 2019.
