Malware spam: "Status of invoice" with .7z attachment

This spam leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:       Status of invoice
From:       "Rosella Setter" ordering@[redacted]
Date:       Mon, September 18, 2017 9:30 am

Hello,

Could you please let me know the status of the attached invoice? I
appreciate your help!

Best regards,

Rosella Setter

Tel: 206-575-8068 x 100

Fax: 206-575-8094

*NEW*   Ordering@[redacted].com

* Kindly note we will be closed Monday in observance of Labor Day *


The name of the sender varies. Attached is a .7z arhive file with a name similar to A2174744-06.7z which contains in turn a malicious .vbs script with a random number for a filename (examples here and here).


Automated analysis of those two samples [1] [2] [3] [4] show this is Locky ransomware. Those two scripts attempt to download a component from:





yildizmakina74.com/87thiuh3gfDGS?
miliaraic.ru/p66/87thiuh3gfDGS?
lanzensberger.de/87thiuh3gfDGS?
web-ch-team.ch/87thiuh3gfDGS?
abelfaria.pt/87thiuh3gfDGS?

An executable is dropped with a detection rate of 19/64 which Hybrid Analysis shows is phoning home to:

91.191.184.158/imageload.cgi (Monte Telecom, Estonia)
195.123.218.226/imageload.cgi (Layer 6, Bulgaria)


.7z files are popular with the bad guys pushing Locky at the moment. Blocking them at your mail perimiter may help.

Malware spam: "E-bill : 6200228913 - 31.07.2015 - 0018" / "noreply.UK.ebiller@lyrecobusinessmail.com"

This fake financial spam does not come from Lyreco but is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment:

From:    noreply.UK.ebiller@lyrecobusinessmail.com
Date:    2 August 2015 at 03:00
Subject:    E-bill : 6200228913 - 31.07.2015 - 0018

The attachment is named 0018_6200228913.docm which contains a malicious macro like this one [pastebin]. So far I have seen three different variants (Hybrid Analysis reports [1] [2] [3]) which then go and download a malicious binary from one of the following locations:

orpigagny.com/w45r3/8l6mk.exe
audiobienentendre.fr/w45r3/8l6mk.exe
immobilier-roissyenbrie.com/w45r3/8l6mk.exe


All of these sites are hosted on 94.23.55.169 (OVH, France). The binary has a detection rate of 4/55. This Malwr report shows it phoning home to 46.36.219.141 (FastVPS, Estonia). The payload is probably the Dridex banking trojan.

Each attachment is slightly different, but does contain the name of the recipient plus a random number (e.g. it-dept_0E78A3A5700B.doc). The payload is meant to be a multi-part MIME file, but many are corrupt and are either Base 64 encoded or are "404 Not Found" files.

If the file is correctly format, it should behave similarly to this Hybrid Analysis report, which says that it connects to several different IPs, but crucially also it downloads a malicious executable from 91.226.93[.]110/bt/get1.php (Sobis, Russia) and saves it as crypted.120.exe.

This malicious executable has a detection rate of 2/56 and the Malwr report says that it communicates with 46.36.217.227 (FastVPS, Estonia) and drops a Dridex DLL with a detection rate of 22/56.

Malware spam: "ATTN: Outstanding Invoices - [4697E0] [April|May]"

This spam comes with random senders and reference numbers, but in all cases includes a malicious attachment:

From:    Debbie Barrett
Date:    12 May 2015 at 11:14
Subject:    ATTN: Outstanding Invoices - [4697E0] [April|May]

Dear anthony,

Kindly find attached our reminder and copy of the relevant invoices.
Looking forward to receive your prompt payment and thank you in advance.

Kind regards
The attachment name combines the recipient's email address with the fake reference number, e.g. barry_51DDAF.xls which isn't actually an Excel file at all, but a multipart MIME file. Payload Security's Hybrid Analysis tools manages to analyse it though, showing several steps in the infection chain.

First a VBScript is downloaded from pastebin[.]com/download.php?i=5K5YLjVu

Secondly, that VBScript then downloads a file from 92.63.88[.]87:8080/bt/get.php (MWTV, Latvia) which is saved as crypted.120.exe, this has a detection rate of 2/57.

This component then connects to 46.36.217.227 (FastVPS, Estonia) and according to this Malwr report drops a Dridex DLL with a detection rate of 3/56.

There are several different attachments, so far I have seen the following MD5s:

The names and references change between different versions, but in all cases there is a malicious DOC file attached. This DOC has an unusual structure in that it is a some sort of MIME file containing a mixture of HTML and Base64-encoded segments.

My source has analysed that this downloads a VBS file from Pastebin at pastebin[.]com/download.php?i=FsYQqTaj which then downloads some sort of .NET binary from 91.226.93[.]14:8080/stat/get.php (Sobis, Russia)

This binary has a detection rate of 2/56 and according to automated analysis tools [1] [2] it communicates with:

46.36.217.227 (FastVPS, Estonia)

It also drops a DLL with an MD5 of f0d261147d2696253ab893af3d125f53 and a detection rate of 1/56.

Attached is a file C Swift Credit Card.doc which comes in at least four different versions, all of which are malicious and all of which have a macro similar to this one [pastebin].

These macros download a file from one of the following locations:

http://oolagives.com/24/733.exe
http://derekthedp.com/24/733.exe
http://sempersleep.com/24/733.exe

This is saved as %TEMP%\grant8i.exe and has a VirusTotal detection rate of 11/54 (identified clearly as a Dridex component). Automated analysis [1] [2] [3] [4] shows that it attempts to communicate with:

46.36.219.32 (FastVPS, Estonia)


I recommend that you block traffic to that IP address. Furthermore, the Malwr report shows it dropping a malicious DLL with a detection rate of 6/53.

Vladimir Tsastsin sentenced to 6 years, 4 months in jail

A search of the office of Vladimir Tšaštšini

Source: DELFI.ee
Sometimes the wheels of justice work very slowly. Back in 2011 I mentioned that Vladimir Tsastsin had been arrested in Estonia - the kingpin of EstHost, EstDomain and Rove Digital among other criminal enterprises, Tsastsin and his accomplices were responsible for a great deal of illegal activity in the past decade.

In this case a Court of Appeal in Estonia handed down a prison sentence of 6 years 4 months to Vladimir Tsastsin, and his accomplices were jailed from ranges of 1 year 10 months to 3 years 10 months or fined up to €100,000.

A full report of the sentences can be found here (in Estonian) or autotranslated below:

The circuit court sentenced Vladimir küberkurijategija Tšaštšini more than six years in prison

The District Court sentenced today Tšaštšini Vladimir and his associates guilty of large scale money laundering activities of criminal association.

The Court of Appeal overturned the decision today, Harju County Court judgment of 20 December 2013, was sentenced to Vladimir Tšaštšin, Valentina Tšaštšina, Timur Gerassimenko, Dmitri Egorov, Konstantin Poltev, Oak Development LLC, Credit Union Ltd., IT Consulting, LLC and Infradata Novatech Ltd, and the case acquitted new decision, which ordered all parties guilty of large scale money laundering activities of criminal association.

Dmitri Egorov, Konstantin Poltev Novatech Ltd, and was convicted of a criminal offense as facilitators. Vladimir Tšaštšin was convicted in a criminal organization, the organization and management.

Do not subject to being sentenced to the penalty of Vladimir Tšaštšinile 6 years and 4 months and 6 days in prison.

Valentina Tšaštšinale sentenced to 3 years 10 months in prison, Timur Gerassimenkole 1 year, 10 months and 9 days, Dmitri Jegorov 1 year and 8 days, Konstantin Poltevile two years and eight days in prison.

Oak Development LLC, was sentenced to a financial penalty of 100,000 euros, Credit Union Ltd. for 60,000 euros, Infradata OÜ 40,000 euros, IT Consulting for 20,000 euros and Novatech LLC for 20,000 euros. Also convicted were confiscated criminal assets.

The indictment accused Parties Act to the greatest extent in money laundering and criminal organization.

The District Court denied the position of the county in which the county court held that the predicate offense, or computer crimes are not shown because there is no final judicial decision in this regard.

The District Court found that the purpose is not a final judicial decision is required, it is sufficient if there is evidence that a predicate offense has been committed. Proved the predicate offenses being committed U.S. indictment and other evidence gathered in the matter.

The Court of Appeal found that there was no malicious software downloads computer users to consent because there is no evidence that computer users have agreed to the installation of malware on their computer, and the relevant provisions of the amendment.

It also disagreed with the district court of the county's position that the prosecution has violated the principle of prohibition of double punishment because the parties have been charged in the money laundering and criminal organization, but the U.S. indictment accused the parties of computer crimes. Thus, making various allegations.

The decision can be challenged in the Supreme Court within 30 days, said a spokesman for the Tallinn Administrative Court and the District Court.

CCDCOE.org "Information Security Audit" spam

Here's a weird spam email..

From: CCDCOE [mailto:ccdcoe@ccdcoe.org]
Sent: Monday, November 04, 2013 12:16 PM
Subject: Information Security Audit


Dear Sir,

I am writing to inform you that NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence
conducted an information security audit of the network infrastructureof your organization. It
was carried out as part of exercise Steadfast Jazz 2013.

Our specialists have obtained access to theprivate network and the administration panel of the
website of your organization.

The level of information security of your organization does not meet the requirements of
NATO cyber security guidelines.

It is strongly recommended that you pay attention to this fact.

For more information you should contact NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of
Excellence.


Sincerely,

Col. Artur Suzik
Director,NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence


E-mail: ccdcoe@ccdcoe.org
Phone: +3727176800
Fax: +3727176308
Adress: Filtri tee 12, Tallinn 10132, Estonia

The email was sent to a target in Estonia, and the CCDCOE is a genuine NATO facility, also located in Estonia. The domain, telephone and fax number all appear genuine, and there are no attachments to the email nor are there any links.

However, the email is not genuine as it comes from 213.157.216.139 which is a Caucasus Online LLC ASDL subscriber in Georgia. Caucasus Online IPs are often seen in conjunction with botnets, so this is almost definitely a botnet node. The CCDCOE logo used in the email is also out of date.

A close examination of the mail headers shows that some of them have been faked in order to spoof an originating IP of 217.146.66.99 in Estonia.
