Yeah.. click the link. What could possibly go wrong? Well, first you go to a legitimate hacked site that tried to load one of the following three scripts:

[donotclick]e-equus.kei.pl/perusing/cassie.js
[donotclick]cncnc.biz/pothooks/addict.js
[donotclick]khalidkala.com/immigration/unkind.js

From there, the victim is sent to a malware site that uses a hijacked GoDaddy domain at [donotclick]hubbywifeburgers.com/topic/nearby-promptly.php hosted on 199.195.116.51 (A2 Hosting, US - report here). This IP probably contains other hijacked domains from the same owner.

Attached to the message is a file Instructions Secured E-mail.zip which contains an executable file Instructions Secured E-mail.exe with an icon to make it look like a PDF file.

The detection rate for this initial malware is just 9/45 at VirusTotal.

This is a pony/gate downloader [1] which attempts to download from [donotclick]guterprotectionperfection.com/ponyb/gate.php on 192.81.135.132 (Linode, US). This is the same IP as used in this attack, and it also utilises a hijacked GoDaddy domain.

The download then attempts to download a second stage from the from the following locations [2] (as well as installing all sorts of hooks into your system):
[donotclick]Missionsearchjobs.com/D5F7G.exe
[donotclick]betterbacksystems.com/kvq.exe
[donotclick]www.printdirectadvertising.com/vfMJH.exe
[donotclick]S381195155.onlinehome.us/vmkCQg8N.exe

The second stage has an even lower detection rate of just 3/45. The analyses by Comodo CAMAS and Malwr do give some detail as to how this part infects the target system.

Payload is on [donotclick]drstephenlwolman.com/topic/sessions-folk-binds.php via [donotclick]new.hotelniles.com/xd2iqku.html  and some intermediate scripts.

More analysis later..

Part II

OK, I have a little more time to look at this. Here is the screenshot:

Clicking the link takes you to a "ThreeScripts" page, but subtly different from previous ones, leading to scripts at:
[donotclick]nutnet.ir/dl/nnnew.txt
[donotclick]www.emotiontag.net/cp/nnnew.txt
[donotclick]aurummulier.pl/nnnew.txt

These scripts use a ".txt" extenstion, presumably to fool AV scanners.

The next step is a kind of weird Javascript leading to a malware page at [donotclick]drstephenlwolman.com/topic/sessions-folk-binds.php hosted on 74.91.118.212 (Nuclear Fallout Enterprises, US).


The domain in question is a hijacked GoDaddy domain.The payload is hardened against analysis. There will almost definitely be other hijacked domains hosted on this server, blocking access to it might be a good idea.

This year, Jolie topped Forbes' annual list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood with an incredibly robust $33 million.

No baby buggy will do. The president and first lady must find a special gift to honor the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

The payload work in exactly the same way as this fake Facebook spam earlier today and consists of a hacked GoDaddy domain (nphscards.com) hosted on 162.216.18.169 by Linode.

The victim is then directed to [donotclick]nphscards.com/topic/accidentally-results-stay.php (report here) which appears to be 403ing, but this may just be trickery. The site is hosted on 162.216.18.169 (Linode, US) and the domain nphscards.com itself appears to have been hijacked from GoDaddy. The domain nphssoccercards.com is also on the same server and is probably hijacked.

Harrison Ford on 'Ender's Game' controversy: 'Not an issue for me'

July 21, 2013 -- Updated 1546 GMT (2346 HKT)
Actor Harrison Ford said he wasn't concerned about
Actor Harrison Ford said he wasn't concerned about "Ender's Game" author Orson Scott Card's views on gay marriage.


Editor's note: CNN.com is covering Comic-Con, the international gathering of geek and mainstream pop culture enthusiasts, through Sunday.

San Diego (CNN) -- For actor Harrison Ford, who is starring in a movie adaptation of Orson Scott Card's heralded and popular novel "Ender's Game," statements against same-sex marriage by the science-fiction author "are not an issue for me." FULL STORY

The link in the email goes through a legitimate hacked site, and then tries to run one or all of the following scripts:
[donotclick]ellensplace.lk/orientated/honecker.js
[donotclick]rodeiouniversitario.com.br/vicissitudes/furlong.js
[donotclick]funeralsintexas.com/gazillions/donkey.js

In turn, these scripts direct the victim to a malware landing page at [donotclick]fragrancewalla.com/topic/accidentally-results-stay.php (report here, appears to be 403ing but that could just be an anti-analysis response) hosted on 173.246.101.146 (Gandi, US).

The domain in question appears to be a hacked GoDaddy account, and the following GoDaddy registered domains are also on the same server and should be treated as suspicious:
happykidoh.com
fragrancewalla.com
fragrancessurplus.com

Xerox WorkCentre (or is it HP Digital Device?) spam / SCAN_129_07082013_18911.zip

This fake printer spam has a malicious attachment:

Date:      Mon, 8 Jul 2013 12:20:24 -0500 [07/08/13 13:20:24 EDT]
From:      HP Digital Device [HP.Digital8@victimdomain]
Subject:      Scanned Image from a Xerox WorkCentre

Please open the attached document. It was scanned and sent to you using a Xerox WorkCentre Pro.

Sent by: [victimdomain]
Number of Images: 8
Attachment File Type: ZIP [PDF]

WorkCentre Pro Location: Machine location not set
Device Name: OM7IEQ4M22

Attached file is scanned image in PDF format.
Adobe(R)Reader(R) can be downloaded from the following URL: http://www.adobe.com/
In this case there is an attachment SCAN_129_07082013_18911.zip containing an executable file SCAN_129_07082013_18911.exe (note that the date is encoded into the file). VirusTotal detections are 26/47 and identify it as a generic downloader, Comodo CAMAS reports that it is a Pony downloader that attempts to contact 2ndtimearoundweddingphotography.com which appears to be a hijacked GoDaddy domain.

As is common at the moment, there are a bunch of related hacked GoDaddy domains on a random (non-GoDaddy) server, in this case 64.94.100.116 (the somewhat notorious Nuclear Fallout Enterprises). All these domains should be treated as malicious according to reports from URLquery and VirusTotal.

gfpmenusonline.com
gfponlineordering.com
solarrec-auction.com
chapter2weddings.com
pecoprocurement.com
2brothersdelimenu.com
2ndtimearoundweddingphotography.com

The ThreatTrack report reveals more details [pdf] including the subsequent download locations as does the ThreatExpert report.

[donotclick]common.karsak.com.tr/FzPfH6.exe
[donotclick]ftp.vickibettger.com/oEoASW64.exe
[donotclick]qualitydoorblog.com/qbSTq.exe

This second file has a much lower detection rate at VirusTotal of just 3/47 (and they are all generic at that). The ThreatExpert report [pdf] gives more details of the malware plus some connection attempts, and Anubis reports something similar. They all appear to be dynamic ADSL addresses and probably not worth trying to block.

Something evil on 205.234.139.169

205.234.139.169 (Hostforweb, US) appears to be hosting a bunch of Java exploits being served up on subdomains of hacked GoDaddy domains. The malware looks like it is being served up in some sort of injection attack. Here are some example URLs of badness:

[donotclick]blog2.stefuraassociatesinc.com:6842/ServerAdministrator/keys/pairs/applet.jnlp
[donotclick]blog2.stefuraassociatesinc.com:6842/ServerAdministrator/keys/pairs/contact.php

[donotclick]blog2.stefuraassociatesinc.com:6842/ServerAdministrator/keys/pairs/jfygZbFu

URLquery and VirusTotal are not very conclusive, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.. well, you know the rest.

The following domains appear to be hosted on the server. You should assume that they are all malicious, ones already flagged by Google are marked in  red .

getyourbet.org injection attack

There seems to be an injection attack doing the rounds, the injected domain is getyourbet.org hosted on 31.184.192.237. The domain registration details are:

Registrant ID:TOD-42842658
Registrant Name:ChinSec
Registrant Organization:ChinSec
Registrant Street1:Beijing
Registrant Street2:
Registrant Street3:
Registrant City:Beijing
Registrant State/Province:BJ
Registrant Postal Code:519000
Registrant Country:CN
Registrant Phone:+86.5264337745
Registrant Phone Ext.:
Registrant FAX:+86.5264337745
Registrant FAX Ext.:
Registrant Email:chinseccdomains@yahoo.com


The domain was created on 12th October. The IP address is in Russia (PIN-DEDICATEDSERVERS-NET).

This is a two stage attack, if  getyourbet.org is called with the correct referrer parameters then the victim ends up at another server at 64.202.123.3 (Hostforweb, US) that tries to serve up a malicious payload. This server contains a bunch of subdomains from a hacked GoDaddy account.

pin.panacheswimwear.co.uk
physical.oneandonlykanuhura.com
pig.onmailorder.com
picture.onlyplussizes.com
person.nypersonaltrainers.com
pipe.payday-loanstoday.com

I've seen this sort of abuse of GoDaddy domains before, the main "www" domain resolves OK, but the subdomains get pointed elsewhere. There's either a problem with GoDaddy or this is done through a phish.

Anyway, block 64.202.123.3 and 31.184.192.237 if you can to prevent further attacks.

Payload one is at [donotclick]1.howtobecomeabostonian.com/links/marked-alter.php hosted on 74.207.232.13 (Linode, US) which looks like a hacked GoDaddy domain. Payload two is at [donotclick]mortal-records.net/detects/processing-successfully.php hosted on 203.91.113.6 (G-Mobile, Mongolia) which is an IP address that has been used a LOT for this type of attack. Blocking those IPs would be ideal.

These other bad domains are associated with the Mongolian IP address:
