Malware spam: "Unable to deliver your item, #000179376" / "FedEx International Ground" leads to ransomware

This fake FedEx email has a malicious attachment.

From:    FedEx International Ground [terry.mcnamara@luxmap.com]
Date:    2 August 2016 at 18:53
Subject:    [REDACTED], Unable to deliver your item, #000179376

Dear [Redacted],

This is to confirm that one or more of your parcels has been shipped.
Please, open email attachment to print shipment label.

Thanks and best regards,
Terry Mcnamara,
Support Manager.

Attached is a ZIP file FedEx_ID_000179376.zip which contains a malicious script FedEx_ID_000179376.doc.js which is highly obfuscated but which becomes clearer when deobfuscated. This Hybrid Analysis on the sample shows that the script downloads ransomware from opros.mskobr.ru but a quick examination of the code reveals several download locations:

opros.mskobr.ru
alacahukuk.com
www.ortoservis.ru
aksoypansiyon.com
samurkasgrup.com

Three of those domains are on the same IP (77.245.148.51), so we can assume that the server is completely compromised. If we extend that principle to the other servers then you might want to block traffic to:

195.208.64.20 (ROSNIIROS, Russia)
77.245.148.51 (Bilisim Teknolojileri Yazilim San. Tic. Ltd. Sti., Turkey)
5.101.153.32 (Beget Ltd, Russia)

A couple of binaries are dropped onto the system, a.exe (detection rate 2/53) [may not be malicious] and a2.exe (detection rate 7/53).

The payload seems to be Nemucod / Crypted or some related ransomware.

Recommended blocklist:
195.208.64.20
77.245.148.51
5.101.153.32

Malware spam: "Samson Floyd agent Fedex" / "FeDex-service"

This fake FedEx spam has a malicious attachment:

From:    FeDex-service
Date:    8 March 2016 at 11:40
Subject:    Samson Floyd agent Fedex

Dear [redacted],
We attempted to deliver your item on March 07th, 2016, 11:40 AM.
The delivery attempt failed because the address was business closed or
nobody could sign for it. To pick up the parcel,please, print the receipt
that is attached to this email and visit Fedex office indicated in the
invoice. If the package is not picked up within 48 hours, it will be returned
to the shipper.

Label: US45928402845
Expected Delivery Date: March 07th, 2016
Class: International Package Service
Service(s): Delivery Confirmation
Status: Notification sent

Thank you for choosing our service

Attached is a RAR archive file in this case named US45928460284.rar containing in turn a malicious script US45928460284.js which is rather curious [pastebin]. This attempts to download an executable from:

www.fotoleonia.it/files/sample.exe

This has a VirusTotal detection rate of 4/54. The Malwr report shows a subsequent download from:

www.claudiocalaprice.com/modules/fedex/pad.exe

This has similar detections to the first binary.  That Malwr report also indicates the binary POSTing data to:

pdf.repack.bike/new_and/state.php

This is hosted on:

151.80.76.200 (Kitdos, US / OVH, France)

I would suggest that the entire 151.80.76.200/29 range is questionable and should be blocked.

None of the automated tools I ran [1] [2] [3] [4] gave any insight as to what the malware does, but it is clearly something malicious.

Malware spam: "Unable to deliver your item, #000022074" / "FedEx 2Day A.M"

This fake FedEx spam has a malicious script attached.

From:    FedEx 2Day A.M.
Date:    5 February 2015 at 15:01
Subject:    PETRO, Unable to deliver your item, #0000220741

FedEx ®

Dear Petro,

We could not deliver your item.
You can review complete details of your order in the find attached.

Yours sincerely,
Marion Bacon,
Delivery Manager.

Attached is a file FedEx_0000220741.zip which contains a malicious javascript which is highly obfuscated [pastebin] but it is a bit clearer when deobfuscated [pastebin]. This script has a moderate detection rate of 9/56, and downloads a file from:

http://freesmsmantra.com/document.php?id=5451565E140110160B0824140110160B08000D160107104A070B09&rnd=3252631

Which is saved as %TEMP%\11827407.exe. This has a low detection rate of 3/56. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] don't give much of a clue as it has been hardened against analysis.

UPDATE: This tweet gives a bit more insight into the malware..

The malware dropped seems to be Boaxxe/miuref: ET TROJAN Miuref/Boaxxe Checkin {TCP} -> 91.231.87.90:80

So, I would definitely recommend blocking 91.231.87.90 and also the domain coldserv24.com which is hosted on that server and may be malicious.

"Track shipments/FedEx" spam

This fake FedEx spam leads to malware:

Date:      Wed, 12 Feb 2014 07:53:36 -0700 [09:53:36 EST]

FedEx has not validated the authenticity of any email address.

In this case, the link in the email goes to [donotclick]pceninternet.net/tracking.php?id_7487214609167750150131 which downloads an archive file track_shipments_FedEx.zip.


In turn, this ZIP file contains the malicious executable with the lovely name of Track_shipments_FedEx_Office_orders_summary_results_Delivered_tracking_number_9384758293431234834312_idju2f83f9hjv78fh7899382r7f9sdh8wf.doc.exe
which has an icon that makes it look like a Word document. This has a VirusTotal detection rate of 15/49, but automated analysis tools are inconclusive as to its payload [1] [2] [3].

FedEx spam FAIL

This fake FedEx spam is presumably meant to have a malicious payload:

Presumably there is meant to be a malicious link or attachment, but there isn't. However, the bad guys will probably use the same template again with a WORKING payload, so please take care.

The malicious payload is at [donotclick]vespaboise.net/detects/invoice_overview.php which is on the very familiar IP address of 222.238.109.66 (Hanaro Telecom, Korea) which has been used in several recent attacks.. blocking it would be prudent.

FedEx spam / dushare.net and gsigallery.net

Two fake FedEx campaigns today, with a format similar to the one found here but with different payload sites of dushare.net and gsigallery.net

In the first case, the malicious payload is at [donotclick]dushare.net/main.php?page=c82ec1c8d6998cf0 (report here) hosted on 203.91.113.6 (G Mobile, Mongolia). In the second case the payload is at [donotclick]gsigallery.net/main.php?page=2bfd5695763b6536 (report here) also hosted on 203.91.113.6.

The following domains are on the same server and should also be treated as being suspect.
