Medfos sites to block 31/5/13

The following domains and IPs are currently being used as C&C servers by the Medfos family of trojans (this one in particular):

84.32.116.110
85.25.132.55
173.224.210.244
184.82.62.16
188.95.48.152
ehistats.su
emstats.su
ieguards.su
iestats.cc
inetprotections.su
iprotections.su
netprotections.cc
sysinfo.cc
sysinfonet.cc
westats.cc

The hosts involved are:
84.32.116.110 (LIX Solutions, Lithunia)
85.25.132.55 (Intergenia / PlusServer AG, Germany)
173.224.210.244 (Psychz Networks, US)
184.82.62.16 (HostNOC, US)
188.95.48.152 (Globab Layer, Netherlands)

The domains listed are used in conjunction with hundreds of subdomains. Blocking the main domain will be the best approach, else the ones that I have been able to determine are listed here.

Integrity? Sending spam to an email address that you scraped off the web? I don't think so. The originating IP is 220.112.38.133 in China, presumably where they have outsourced their scummy marketing to.

University of Illinois CS department compromised

There's a bunch of malware sites infesting University of Illinois CS department machines in the 128.174.240.0/24, range, mostly pointed out in this post. Compromised machines are tarrazu.cs.uiuc.edu, croft.cs.illinois.edu, tsvi-pc.cs.uiuc.edu, mirco.cs.uiuc.edu, ytu-laptop.cs.uiuc.edu, node3-3105.cs.uiuc.edu and they are on the following IPs with the following malicious domains (I would recommend blocking the whole /24):

Malware sites to block 29/5/13

These domains and IP addresses are connected to this malware spam run and belong to a group I call the "Amerika" gang (because they tend to use fake US addresses for their WHOIS details but really seem to be Russian).

It's quite a long set of lists: first there is a list of malware domains, then a list of malicious IPs and their web hosts, followed by a plain recommended blocklist list of IPs for copy-and-pasting, finally a list of IPs that are advertised as nameservers within this group for research purposes only.

You might notice something odd going on at the University of Illinois in the 128.174.240.0/24 range. Hmm..

I have also seen a similar spam with the subject "Amazon.com order of Sharp UN55EH5080 55-Inch" and I guess there are others. The spam goes through a legitimate hacked site and ends up on [donotclick]federal-credit-union.com/news/basic_dream-goods.php (report here). Luckily right at the moment this domain is suspended and won't work, however. There is a very large number of connected domains though which I am compiling a blocklist for and will post later..

Update: some other subjects include "Amazon.com order of Panasonic UN55EH6030 55-Inch" and "Amazon.com order of Akai NPK55KR9070 55-Inch".

Update 2: the malicious landing page has been replaced  with one using the domain ozonatorz.com.

Something (a bit) evil on 158.255.212.96 and 158.255.212.97

The IPs 158.255.212.96 and 158.255.212.97 (EDIS GmbH, Austria) are hosting malware used in injection attacks (see this example for fussball-gsv.de). These two examples report a TDS URL pattern which is resistant to automated analysis. The domains appear to be part of a traffic exchanger system (never a good idea), but they have been used to distribute malware.

The following sites are hosted on those two domains, plus a link to the Google Safebrowsing diagnostics:
linkstoads.net [no malware reported]
node1.hostingstatics.org [malware reported]
node2.hostingstatics.org
nodeph.hostingstatics.org
numstatus.com [no malware reported]
systemnetworkscripts.org [no malware reported]
finger2.climaoluhip.org [malware reported]
connecthostad.net [malware reported]
netstoragehost.com [malware reported]
nethostingdb.com [no malware reported]

In the cases where no malware has been reported it may well be because Google hasn't visited the site. The domains all have anonymous WHOIS details and have been registered in the past year or so.

I can identify a couple more IPs in this cluster, and I would advise you to treat all the domains here as suspect and add them to your blocklist:
158.255.212.96
158.255.212.97
193.102.11.3
205.178.182.1
