"CEO Portal Statements & Notices Event" spam / report_{DIGIT[12]}.exe

This fake Wells Fargo email has a malicious attachment:

Date:      Fri, 16 Aug 2013 09:51:17 -0500 [10:51:17 EDT]
From:      Wells Fargo Event Messaging Admin [ofsrep.ceosmuigw@wellsfargo.com]
Subject:      CEO Portal Statements & Notices Event


Wells Fargo

Commercial Electronic Office (CEO) Portal Statements & Notices Event: Multiple Download Request Available

Your Deposit Adjustment Notices is now available. To access your information please download attached report and open Statements & Notices file.

Request Name:    MM3P85NRLOXLOFJ
Event Message ID:    S045-77988311

Please do not reply to this email.

The email has an attachment called report_625859705821.zip which in turn contains an exectuable report_{DIGIT[12]}.exe (which presumably is an error) which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 9/46. The Malwr report shows that this malware does various things, inclding an HTTP request to a hijacked GoDaddy domain at [donotclick]hubbywifeco.com/forum/viewtopic.php hosted on 66.151.138.80 (Nuclear Fallout Enterprises, US) which is shared with another hijacked domain, hubbywifecakes.com.

From there, another executable is downloaded from one of the following locations:
[donotclick]208.106.130.52/39UvZmv.exe
[donotclick]demoscreactivo.com/DKM9.exe
[donotclick]roundaboutcellars.com/Utuw1.exe
[donotclick]bbsmfg.biz/VKPqrms.exe

This executable has an even lower detection rate of just 5/46. You can see the Malwr report for that here.

Blocking EXE-in-ZIP files like this at your perimeter is an excellent idea if you can do it.

Note that the spam appears to come "from" the "Administrator" in the victim's own domain. This email address is a forgery, so don't worry about it. If you are daft enough to click the link in the email you go to a legitimate hacked site and then on to one of three scripts:

[donotclick]www.situ-ingenieurgeologie.de/tuesday/alleviation.js

from there on, the victim is forwarded to a malicious landing page at [donotclick]chellebelledesigns.com/topic/conclusion-western.php using a hacked GoDaddy domain on 173.246.104.55 (Gandi, US). There are other hijacked GoDaddy domains on the same server (listed in italics below):

Something evil on 162.211.231.16

The server at 162.211.231.16 (IT7 Networks, Canada) is currently being used in injection attacks (example) which have been going on for some time [1] [2] and uses several domains, some of which are listed below.

The WHOIS details for these domains seem to be consistent but are possibly fake:

Registrant ID:CR148448937
Registrant Name:Leonardo Salim Chahda
Registrant Street1:Patron 6755
Registrant Street2:
Registrant Street3:
Registrant City:Capital Federal
Registrant State/Province:Buenos Aires
Registrant Postal Code:1408
Registrant Country:AR
Registrant Phone:+46.444407
Registrant Phone Ext.:
Registrant FAX:
Registrant FAX Ext.:
Registrant Email:info@brigitteunderwear.com

All the domains are very recently registered by GoDaddy. The WHOIS details for brigitteunderwear.com (also registered by GoDaddy in 2006) are consistent, but I've seen enough hijacked GoDaddy domains recently to be suspicious that there could be an element of identity theft here, and the named person may well have nothing to do with this attack.

I haven't had time to poke around at the payload too much, but this could well be a good IP to block, or alternatively use the list of domains that I have identified below (it may not be comprehensive, though)

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.

Canadian teenager Rehtaeh Parsons, who was allegedly gang-raped and bullied, has died, her family said. Parsons, 17, was hospitalized after she tried to hang herself on Thursday, April 4. The high school student from Halifax, Nova Scotia, was taken off life support three days later.

Two 18-year-old men face child pornography charges in connection with the case of a 17-year-old girl who hanged herself after she was allegedly gang-raped and bullied online, Canadian authorities said Thursday evening.  Full story >>

MoneyGram ® 2013

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.

After that, the victim is directed to the malware landing page at [donotclick]capitalagreements.com/topic/regard_alternate_sheet.php which is a hijacked GoDaddy domain hosted on 66.228.60.243 (Linode, US), along with several other hijacked domains.

The attack is fundamentally the same as this American Express themed malspam run described here.

I don't know about you, but I think Isaac looks a bit like a girl.

Predicatably, clicking on the link in the email leads to a legitimate hacked site and then the same redirector scripts found in this spam run. However, in this case the target has now changed to [donotclick]deltaoutriggercafe.com/topic/able_disturb_planning.php which is hosted on 66.175.217.235 (Linode, US) along with a whole bunch of other similar domains that have been hijacked from GoDaddy.

eBay "ready to get started? Here’s how." spam / deltamarineinspections.net

There is currently an eBay-themed  "ready to get started? Here’s how" spam run active, effectively almost the same as this one, except this time there is a new set of intermediate scripts and payload page. The three scripts involved are:

[donotclick]03778d6.namesecurehost.com/meaningful/unsnapping.js
[donotclick]icontractor.org/followings/trolloped.js
[donotclick]tvassist.co.uk/plead/grueled.js

..leading to a payload page at  [donotclick]deltamarineinspections.net/topic/able_disturb_planning.php on 66.175.217.235 (Linode, US). The domains in use are hijacked from a GoDaddy account and belong to the same poor sod that last control of the ones here.

(EW.com) -- She might not get paid as much as "Iron Man," but there's no doubt that celestial beauty Angelina Jolie is smiling all the way to the bank.

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

This is a "ThreeScripts" attack, clicking the link goes to a legitimate hacked site which then tries to run one of the following:

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 domain nphssoccercards.com is also on the same server and is probably hijacked.
