Jolly Works Hosting.. is it really Jolly?

I was a little curious as to why I kept coming across Jolly Works Hosting from the Philippines when it came to malware hosting. They are a customer of Secured Servers LLC in the US, and when I took a close look at malware reports with Secured Servers IPs addresses it turns out that most of them were actually suballocated to Jolly Works Hosting instead.

Jolly Works has a real website and real customers, but not all of those customers are very desirable. In particular, these following IP addresses are current hotbeds of malware and are definitely worthy of blocking:

108.170.46.130
184.95.37.100
184.95.37.109
184.95.51.123
184.164.136.150

I have enumerated much of their network for research purposes and uploaded it here [csv]. The file contains the domain, IP, decimalised IP, WOT ratings, Google Prognosis and SURBL status. Do with it what you will.

As far as I can tell, these following Secured Servers IP ranges are suballocated to Jolly Works Hosting. There are some real legitimate websites in there, but if you wanted to do some sort of filtering or scoring with them then the ranges are:

66.85.153.160/27
108.170.6.16/28
108.170.7.160/28
108.170.13.192/27
108.170.29.128/27
108.170.46.128/29
174.138.163.176/28
174.138.172.48/28
184.95.37.96/28
184.95.37.144/28
184.95.38.32/29
184.95.51.112/28
184.95.54.208/28
184.164.136.80/28
184.164.136.128/27
184.164.141.32/27
184.164.147.128/27
184.164.151.32/27
184.171.167.192/28
209.188.0.96/27

It might be worth blocking 184.164.136.128/27 to be on the safe side.

Malware sites to block 23/11/12

This bunch of IPs and domains are being used in a series of fairly well-targeted attacks involving malicious spam messages that look like they come from real financial organisations (such as this one).  The payload is apparently "Ponyloader".

The domains seem to be legitimate but hacked, and in some cases the server infrastructure also looks like it is something legitimate that has been taken over by the bad guys. However, the chances are that you are more likely to see these sites as the result of a malicious spam run rather than anything else, and you should consider blocking them.

Malware servers:
50.116.16.118 (Bluehost, US)
64.94.101.200 (Nuclear Fallout Enterprises, US)
69.194.194.216 (Solar VPS, US)
70.42.74.152 (Nuclear Fallout Enterprises, US)
94.76.235.199 (Simply Transit, UK)
173.246.103.59 (Gandi, US)
173.246.103.112 (Gandi, US)
173.246.103.124 (Gandi, US)
173.246.103.184 (Gandi, US)
173.246.104.21 (Gandi, US)
174.140.168.143 (DirectSpace Networks, US)
198.74.52.86 (Linode, US)
209.188.0.118 (Secured Servers, US / Jolly Works Hosting, Philippines)

Plain list of IPs for copy-and-pasting:
50.116.16.118
64.94.101.200
69.194.194.216
70.42.74.152
94.76.235.199
173.246.103.59
173.246.103.112
173.246.103.124
173.246.103.184

174.140.168.143
198.74.52.86
209.188.0.118

Apparently malicious domains and subdomains:
50.116.16.118 (Bluehost, US)
64.94.101.200 (Nuclear Fallout Enterprises, US)
69.194.194.216 (Solar VPS, US)

"You have received a secure message" spam / securedoc.zip

This fake Citi spam contains a malicious attachment:

From:      "secure.email@citi.com" [secure.email@citi.com]

You have received a secure message Read your secure message by opening the attachment, securedoc. You will be prompted to open (view) the file or save (download) it to your computer. For best results, save the file first, then open it with Internet Explorer. If you have concerns about the validity of this message, please contact the sender directly. For questions please contact the Citi Secure Email Help Desk at (866) 535-2504. First time users - will need to register after opening the attachment.

Attached is a file securedoc.zip which in turn contains a malicious executable securedoc.exe which has a very low detection rate at VirusTotal of just 2/46. The Malwr analysis (and also ThreatExpert) shows that the file first connects to [donotclick]frankcremascocabinets.com/forum/viewtopic.php (a hijacked GoDaddy domain on 184.95.37.102 (Secured Servers, US / Jolly Works Hosting, Philippines) as seen before here, and it then tries to downoad additional components from:

[donotclick]lobbyarkansas.com/0d8H.exe
[donotclick]ftp.ixcenter.com/GMMo6.exe
[donotclick]faithful-ftp.com/kFbWXZX.exe

This second part has another very low VirusTotal detection rate of just 3/46. Malwr gives an insight into what the binary is doing, or alternatively you can look at the Comodo CAMAS report or ThreatExpert report.

There is an attachment called USPS_Label_861337597092.zip which in turn contains a malicious executable file USPS_Label_06062013.exe (note the date is encoded into the filename). VirusTotal results for this are 18/47.

The Comodo CAMAS report shows an attempt to download more components from michaelscigarbar.net on 184.95.37.109 (Jolly Works Hosting, Philippines.. rented from Secured Servers in the US). URLquery shows a very large amount of malware activity on that IP, mostly apparently running on legitimate hacked domains. You should probably treat all of the following domains as hostile:

"INCOMING FAX REPORT" spam / 2013vistakonpresidentsclub.com

This fake fax report spam (apparently from the Administrator at the Victim's domain) leads to malware on 2013vistakonpresidentsclub.com:

Date:      Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:32:10 -0600 [12:32:10 EDT]

********************************************************* 

The link in the spam leads to a legitimate hacked site and then on to one or more of these three intermediary scripts:

[donotclick]1954f7e942e67bc1.lolipop.jp/denominators/serra.js
[donotclick]internationales-netzwerk-portfolio.de/djakarta/opel.js
[donotclick]www.pep7.at/hampton/riposts.js

From there, the victim is sent to a malware landing page at [donotclick]2013vistakonpresidentsclub.com/topic/regard_alternate_sheet.php which was hosted on 162.216.18.169 earlier to day (like this spam) and was presumably a hijacked GoDaddy domain. I can't tell for certain if this site is clean now or not, but it seems to be on 184.95.37.110 which is a Jolly Works Hosting IP, which has been implicated in malware before. I would personally block 184.95.37.96/28 to be on the safe side.

The victim is then sent to a malware landing page at [donotclick]artimagefrance.com/topic/accidentally-results-stay.php hosted on 184.95.37.110 (Secured Servers LLC, US / Jolly Works Hosting, Philippines). I would recommend blocking 184.95.37.96/28 in this case.

The domain is a hijacked GoDaddy domain, and the following hijacked domains appear to be in the neighbourhood. Ones flagged by Google as malware already are highlighted, although all should be considered as malicious.

The malicious payload is at [donotclick]184.164.151.54/links/rules_familiar-occurred.php (hosted by the ironically named Secured Servers LLC in the US aka Jolly Works hosting of the Philippines).

Something evil on 184.95.51.123

184.95.51.123 (Secured Servers LLC, US / Jolly Works Hosting, Philippines) appears to be trying to serve the Blackhole Exploit kit through an injection attack (for example). The payload appears to be 404ing when viewed in the automated tools I am using, but indications are that the malware on this site is still very much live.

The domains on this server belong to a legitimate company, Lifestyle exterior Products, Inc. of Florida who are probably completely unaware of the issue.

These following domains are all flagged by Google as being malicious, and are all based on  184.95.51.123. I would recommend blocking the IP if you can, else the domains I can find are listed below:
