TG Soft reports that their database consists of controlled outgoing emails created by Emotet between August and September 23, 2020. During this period, they have collected over 2,1 million email addresses from approximately 700.000 outgoing emails.
To use the service, you can simply enter a domain or email address and it will let you know how many times the email address or domain has been used as the sender or recipient of an email.
