Malware spam: "Berendsen UK Ltd Invoice 60020918 117" / "donotreply@berendsen.co.uk"

This fake invoice is not from Berendsen UK Ltd but is a simple forgery. They are not sending out the spam and their systems have not been compromised in any way. Instead, this email has a malicious Word document attached.

I have only seen one sample of this email, with a Word document IRN001549_60020918_I_01_01.doc which has a zero detection rate. Contained within this is malicious Word macro which downloads a component from the following location:

http://heikehall.de/js/bin.exe

This binary has a VirusTotal detection rate of 2/57. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] show that it attempts to phone home to:

92.63.87.13 (MWTV, Latvia)
5.196.241.196 (OVH, Ireland)
66.110.179.66 (Microtech Tel, US)
202.44.54.5 (World Internetwork Corporation, Thailand)
78.140.164.160 (Webazilla, US)
31.160.233.212 (KPN, Netherlands)
185.14.30.98 (UA Servers, Ukraine)
86.104.134.156 (One Telecom, Moldova)


MWTV have featured several times on this blog. A close examination of their 92.63.80.0/20 block indicates a mix of legitimate and illegitimate sites, however the bad sites are concentrated in the following ranges:

92.63.82.0/23
92.63.84.0/22
92.63.88.0/24

In addition to this, the malware attempts to drop a Dridex DLL which is widely detected by AV vendors with a detection rate of 30/57.

Recommended blocklist:
92.63.82.0/23
92.63.84.0/22
92.63.88.0/24
5.196.241.196
66.110.179.66
202.44.54.5
78.140.164.160
31.160.233.212
185.14.30.98
86.104.134.156
