Cerber spam: "please print", "images etc"

I only have a couple of samples of this spam, but I suspect it comes in many different flavours..

In these two samples there is an attached .7z archive (MD5 31c144629bfdc6c8011c492e06fe914d) with a VirusTotal detection rate of 18/58. Both samples contained a malicious Javascript named 20170821_08914700.js that looks like this [pastebin].

Automated analysis [1] [2] shows a download from the following locations:

gel-batterien-agm-batterien.de/65JKjbh??TqCRhOAQ=TqCRhOAQ [46.4.91.144 - Hetzner, Germany]
droohsdronfhystgfh.info/af/65JKjbh?TqCRhOAQ=TqCRhOAQ [119.28.100.249 - Tencent, China]

The Hybrid Analysis report shows an executable being dropped which is Ceber Ransomware (MD5 c7d79f5d830b1b67c5eb11de40a721b4), with a VT detection of 22/64.

Malware spam: UK Fuels Collection / "invoices@ebillinvoice.com"

This fake invoice comes with a malicious attachment:

This email does not come from UK Fuels or Velocity, but is in fact a simple forgery sent from the Necurs botnet.

In the sample I saw there were two attachments, one was a simple text file that looked like this:

Filetype: Microsoft Office Word
Filename: 11969_201727.doc
Creation date: Tue, 18 Jul 2017 14:07:26 +0530
Modification date: Tue, 18 Jul 2017 14:07:26 +0530
To: [redacted]

The secondis a malicious Word document, in this case named 11969_201727.doc. Opening it comes up with a screen asking you to enable active content (not a good idea!). The VirusTotal detection rate is 10/59.

Automated analysis [1] [2] shows that the malicious document downloads a binary from dielandy-garage.de/56evcxv (although there are probably other locations), downloading a file proshuto8.exe which itself has a detection rate of 11/63. Additional automated analysis [3] [4] with the others shows potentialy malicious traffic to:

37.120.182.208 (Netcup, Germany)
186.103.161.204 (Telefonica , Chile)
194.87.235.155 (Mediasoft Ekspert, Russia)
195.2.253.95 (Sphere Ltd, Russia)

Malware delivered in this was is usually ransomware or a banking trojan. UPDATE: this is the Trickbot trojan.

Malware spam: "John Miller Limited" / "Invoice"

This spam pretends to come from John Miller Ltd (but doesn't) and comes with a malicious payload. The domain mentioned in the email does not match the company being spoofed, and varies from message to message.

Attached is a PDF file with a name similar to A4 Inv_Crd 914605.pdf - opening it up (NOT recommended) displays something fairly minimal.

The attachment currently has a detection rate of about 9/56. As is common with some recent attacks, the PDF actually contains an embedded Microsoft Office document. Hybrid Analysis shows the malicious file downloading a component from cartus-imprimanta.ro/8yfh4gfff (176.126.200.56 - HostVision SRL, Romania) although other variants possibly exist.


A file is dropped (in the HA report called miniramon8.exe) at detection rate of 11/61. According to the Hybrid Analysis report, that attempts tom communicate with the following IPs:

192.48.88.167 (Tocici LLC, US)
89.110.157.78 (netclusive GmbH, Germany)
85.214.126.182 (Strato AG, Germany)
46.101.154.177 (Digital Ocean, Germany)

The payload is not clear at this time, but it will be nothing good.

Malware spam: DHL Shipment 458878382814 Delivered

Another day and another fake DHL message leading to an evil .js script.

From: DHL Parcel UK [redacted]

Please do not respond to this message. This email was sent from an unattended mailbox. This report was generated at approximately 08:15 am CDT on 02/05/2017.

All weights are estimated.

The shipment is scheduled for delivery on or before the scheduled delivery displayed above. DHL does not determine money-back guarantee or delay claim requests based on the scheduled delivery. Please see the DHL Service Guide for terms and conditions of service, including the DHL Money-Back Guarantee, or contact your DHL customer support representative.

This tracking update has been sent to you by DHL on behalf of the Requestor [redacted]. DHL does not validate the authenticity of the requestor and does not validate, guarantee or warrant the authenticity of the request, the requestor's message, or the accuracy of this tracking update.

Standard transit is the date the package should be delivered by, based on the selected service, destination, and ship date. Limitations and exceptions may apply. Please see the DHL Service Guide for terms and conditions of service, including the DHL Money-Back Guarantee, or contact your DHL Customer Support representative.

In this case the link goes to parkpaladium.com/DHL24/18218056431/  and downloads a file DHL-134843-May-02-2017-55038-8327373-1339347112.js which looks like this.

According to Malwr and Hybrid Analysis the script downloads a binary from micromatrices.com/qwh7zxijifxsnxg20mlwa/ (77.92.78.38  - UK2, UK) and then subsequently attempts communication with

75.25.153.57 (AT&T, US)

92.51.129.235 (Host Europe, Germany)
74.50.57.220 (RimuHosting, US)

The dropped binary has a VirusTotal detection rate of 10/60.

Malware spam: "Copy of your 123-reg invoice" / no-reply@123-reg.co.uk

The invoice number is randomly generated. The attachment is a PDF file with a name matching the invoice number (e.g. 123-093702027-reg-invoice.pdf).

This PDF file appears to drop an Office document according to VirusTotal results.

Hybrid Analysis shows the document dropping a malicious executable with a detection rate of 15/61. It appears to contact the following IPs (some of which contain legitimate sites):

216.87.186.15 (Affinity Internet, US)
216.177.132.93 (Alentus Corporation, US)
152.66.249.132 (Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest)
85.214.113.207 (Strato AG, Germany)
192.184.84.119 (RamNode LLC, US)

The general prognosis seems to be that this is dropping the Dridex banking trojan.

Malware spam: "RE: RE: ftc refund" / secretary@ftccomplaintassistant.com

This fake FTC email leads to malware. Curiously, it was sent to a company that received a multimillion dollar FTC fine, but this is almost definitely a coincidence.

From:    Federal Trade Commission [secretary@ftccomplaintassistant.com]
Date:    17 April 2017 at 15:25
Subject:    RE: RE: ftc refund


It seems we can claim a refund from the FTC.

The link in the email actually goes to a URL beginning http://thecomplete180.com/view.php?id= followed by a Base 64 encoded string that appears to be 6281 + recipient email address + 5434 (so for president@whitehouse.gov it would be http://thecomplete180.com/view.php?id=NjI4MXByZXNpZGVudEB3aGl0ZWhvdXNlLmdvdjU0MzQ=)

Obviously this downloaded document is up to no good, but the VirusTotal detection rates are only 5/56. The Word document itself tries to persuade victims to enable macros, which would be a bad idea.

Automated analysis [1] [2] shows network traffic to:

wasstalwihis.com/bdk/gate.php
littperevengpa.com/ls5/forum.php
littperevengpa.com/mlu/forum.php
littperevengpa.com/d1/about.php

hybridinformatica.com.br/blog/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/inc/1
hybridinformatica.com.br/blog/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/inc/2

It also appears to start sending traffic via Tor, which is a good reason to monitor Tor on your network. All sorts of files are dropped, most of which don't seem to be particularly malicious. "Gate.php" indicates a Pony downloader, but this does look like a tricky bugger.

Out of the domains contacted, littperevengpa.com and wasstalwihis.com shared the same registrant details and look fairly evil. We can associate the same registrant with the following domains:

Unlike recent Locky spam runs, this TrickBot run has gone to a lot of effort to look authentic.

The sender is either noreply@companies-house.me.uk or noreply@companieshouses.co.uk - both those domains have actually been registered by the spammers with fake WHOIS details:

    Registrant:
        Camell Williams

    Registrant type:
        Unknown

    Registrant's address:
        550 HOLTS LAKE CT STE 101
        Suite 101
        Apopka
        Florida
        32703
        United States

Both those domains are close to the genuine one of companieshouse.gov.uk and because the email is digitally signed it might get past spam filters where normal botnet-sent spam wouldn't.

All the emails that I have seen have been sent via servers at 172.99.84.190 and 172.99.88.226 (a Rackspace customer apparently called OnMetal v2 IAD PROD). I recommend that you block email traffic from those IPs.

Attached is a Word document Complaint.doc  (MD5 21AEA31907D50EE6F894B15A8939A48F) [VT 7/55] which according to this Hybrid Analysis downloads a binary from:

futuras.com/img/dododocdoc.exe

This is saved as sweezy.exe and has a detection rate of 7/57. At present that download location is down, probably due to exceeding bandwidth quota.

The Hybrid Analysis identifies several C2s which overlap with this TrickBot run from yesterday:

78.47.139.102 (Unknown customer of Hetzner, Germany)
91.219.28.58 (FLP Kochenov Aleksej Vladislavovich aka uadomen.com, Ukraine)

193.107.111.164 (PP "Kremen Alliance", Ukraine)
193.124.177.117 (MAROSNET, Russia)

The uadomen.com IP ranges (as discussed yesterday) are a sea of badness and I recommend you block traffic to them.

78.47.139.96/28

Attached is a Word document (in this case Internal_Fax.doc) which has a pretty low detection rate at VirusTotal of 5/54. Both the Malwr report and Hybrid Analysis give some clues as to what is going on, but in fact the Malwr report comes out with a binary download location of:

www.tessaban.com/img/safafaasfasdddd.exe

This is a hacked legitimate website. Downloading that file manually and resubmitting it gives two rather more interesting Malwr and Hybrid Analysis reports give the following suspect traffic:

91.219.28.77 (FLP Kochenov Aleksej Vladislavovich aka uadomen.com, Ukraine)
193.9.28.24 (FLP Kochenov Aleksej Vladislavovich aka uadomen.com, Ukraine)

138.201.44.28 (Philip Diver, Australia / Hetzner, Germany)
23.23.107.79 (Amazon EC2, US)

I can match all those IPs except the last to this ThreatGeek report, those IPs are a mix of what looks like dynamic IPs for hacked home users and static ones (highlighted):

5.12.28.0 (RCS & RDS Residential, Romania)
27.208.131.97 (China Unicom, China)
36.37.176.6 (VietTel, Cambodia)
37.1.209.51 (3NT Solutions LLP, UK)
37.109.52.75 (Cyfrowy Polsat, Poland)
46.22.211.34 (Inferno Solutions aka 3NT Solutions LLP, UK)
68.179.234.69 (ECTISP, US)
91.219.28.77 (FLP Kochenov Aleksej Vladislavovich aka uadomen.com, Ukraine)

188.138.1.53 (PlusServer, Germany)
193.9.28.24 (FLP Kochenov Aleksej Vladislavovich aka uadomen.com, Ukraine)

3NT Solutions (aka Inferno Solutions / inferno.name) are very, very bad news and I would recommend blocking any IPs you can find for this outfit. FLP Kochenov Aleksej Vladislavovich aka uadomen.com has appeared here so many times [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] that really I have to categorise that as an Evil Network too.

If we excise the domestic IPs and blackhole the 3NT / Inferno / uadomen.com ranges we get a recommended blocklist of:

37.1.208.0/21

However, there's more to this too. The original email message is actually signed by local-fax.com and it turns out that this domain was created just today with anonymous registration details. The sending IP was 104.130.246.8 (Rackspace, US) and it also turns out that this is widely blacklisted and is probably worth blocking.

All the samples I have seen show a consistent MD5 of e6d2863e97523d2f0e398545989666e4 for the attachment, and all the recipients I have seen begin with the letter "a" curiously enough..

Malware spam: "Your order has been proceeded." leads to Locky

This curiously worded spam email leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Your order has been proceeded
From:     Elijah Farrell
Date:     Wednesday, 26 October 2016, 12:41


Your order has been proceeded.

Attached is the invoice for your order 2026326638.

Kindly keep the slip in case you would like to return or state your product's warranty.

The name of the sender is randomly generated, as is the reference number. Attached is a ZIP file beginning with "order_details_" plus a random sequence, containing a malicious .VBS script with a similar name.

The various scripts download a component from one of the following locations (thank you to my usual source for this):

Malware spam: "bank transactions"

This fake financial spam comes with a malicious attachment:

From:    Rueben Vazquez
Date:    31 August 2016 at 10:06
Subject:    bank transactions


Good morning petrol.

Attached is the bank transactions made from the company during last month.
Please file these transactions into financial record.


Yours truly,
Rueben Vazquez

The name of the sender will vary. Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file containing a malicious .js script with a name consisting of a random hexadecimal number plus _bank_transactions.js.

According to the Malwr report of these three samples [1] [2] [3] the (very sweary) scripts download from these following locations (there are probably more):

Each one of those samples drops a different DLL with detection rates of 8/57 or so [4] [5] [6] and according to the Hybrid Analsis reports [7] [8] [9] these phone home to:

95.85.19.195/data/info.php [hostname: vps-110831.freedomain.in.ua] (Digital Ocean, Netherlands)

cufrmjsomasgdciq.pw/data/info.php [91.223.180.66] (FOP Sedinkin Olexandr Valeriyovuch aka thehost.ua, Ukraine)

The name of the sender and the hexadecimal number at the bottom varies. Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file which in the sample I analysed contains a malicious .wsf script beginning with the word "redacted".

138.201.93.46 (Hetzner, Germany)
107.181.187.12 (Total Server Solutions, US)
212.109.219.31 (JSC Server, Russia)
5.152.199.70 (Redstation, UK)

This behaviour is consistent with Locky ransomware.

Recommended blocklist:
138.201.93.46
107.181.187.12
212.109.219.31

There are a large number of these, with a ZIP file attached containing a malicious scripts with a typical detection rate of 3/56. In this sample Malwr analysis, it downloads a file from:

test.glafuri.net/yxk6s

There will certainly be a LOT of other download locations. The dropped file GSKQtcnNu8MS.exe has a detection rate of 4/55 and that same VirusTotal report indicates C2 traffic to:

138.201.93.46 (Hetzner, Germany)
91.200.14.139 (PP SKS-LUGAN, Ukraine)
104.131.182.103 (Digital Ocean, US)
164.132.40.47 (OVH, France)

Even though other automated analysis failed [1] [2] this time we have previously identified two of those IPs as being Locky ransomware, so there is little doubt that this will be more of the same.

Recommended blocklist:
138.201.93.46
91.200.14.139
104.131.182.103
164.132.40.47
