Malware spam: "Scanned image from MX2310U@victimdomain.tld" leads to Locky

This fake document scan appears to come from within the victim's own domain, but this is just a simple forgery. Attached is a malicious Word document.

Attached is a .DOCM file with a filename consisting of the recipients's email address, date and a random element. There are various different scripts which according to my source (thank you!) download a component from on of the following locations:

Malware spam: "pentafoods.com" / "Invoice: 2262004"

This fake Penta Foods spam run is another variant of this and it comes with a malicious attachment. Penta Foods are not sending this email, instead it is a simple forgery.

Attached is a Word document R-1179776.doc which actually comes in two version, both with zero detection rates, contains one of two malicious macros [1] [2] which then download a component from the following locations:

http://accalamh.aspone.cz/js/bin.exe
http://awbrs.com.au/js/bin.exe

This is saved as %TEMP%\fJChjfgD675eDTU.exe and has a VirusTotal detection rate of 5/57. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] show a phone-home attempt to:

62.76.179.44 (Clodo-Cloud / IT House, Russia)

My sources also indicate that it phones home to:

212.69.172.187 (Webagentur, Austria)
78.129.153.12 (iomart / RapidSwitch, UK)

According to this Malwr report it also drops a DLL with a detection rate of just 2/57 which is probably Dridex.

Malware sites to block 7/6/13

Two IPs that look related, the first is 37.235.48.185 (Edis, Poland or Austria) which host some domains that are also found here (158.255.212.96 and 158.255.212.97, also Edis) that seem to be used in injection attacks. I can identify the following domains linked to 37.235.48.185:

faggyppvers5.info
finger2.climaoluhip.org
linkstoads.net
node1.hostingstatics.org
node2.hostingstatics.org

Injecting some of the same sites as the domains on the above IPs is jstoredirect.net which is currently offline but was hosted on 149.154.152.18 which is also Edis (can you see the pattern yet?) so I would assume that they are linked. In the few days that jstoredirect.net was online it managed to infect over 1500 sites.

Aggregate blocklist:
98.126.9.34
114.142.147.51
158.255.212.96
158.255.212.97

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

numstatus.com

systemnetworkscripts.org
connecthostad.net
