Malware sites to block 12/6/13

This is a refresh of this list of domains and IPs controlled by what I call the "Amerika" gang, and it follows on from this BBB spam run earlier. Note that IPs included in this list show recent malicious activity, but it could be that they have now been fixed. I also noticed that a couple of the domains may have been sinkholed, but it will do you no harm to block them anyway.

The malicious payload is on [donotclick]royalwinnipegballet.net/detects/occasional-average-fairly.php hosted on 89.207.132.144 (Snel Internet, Netherlands) which was hosting another attack site this morning (so best blocked in my opinion)

"Federal ACH Announcement" spam / cookingcarlog.net

This rather terse spam leads to malware on cookingcarlog.net:

Something evil on 95.211.115.228 and 46.249.37.22.

A set of malicious sites, linked to the Redret gang, hosted on 95.211.115.228 (Leaseweb, Netherlands). Blocking the IP rather than the individual domains will also protect against other malicious sites on the same server.

Contract spam / chredret.ru

Another fake "contract" spam leading to malware, hosted on chredret.ru .

Date:      Tue, 27 Dec 2011 06:06:18 +0700
From:      "Destinee Mills"
Subject:      The variant of the contract you've offered has been delcined.

After our legal department studied this contract carefully, they've noticed the following mismatches with our previous arrangements. We've composed a preliminary variant of the new contract, please study it and make sure that all the issues are matching your interests

Another name used on the spam is "Ramiro Howell", although there are probably hundreds of fake names. The malicious payload is at chredret.ru/main.php, hosted on 46.249.37.22 (Serverius Holding BV, Netherlands). This is the second "redret" domain in this /24, so blocking 46.249.37.0/24 might be prudent.

mailukrsoft.com: job scammers in action

A post over at woozoo.nl caught my eye (in Nederlands, Google Translated to English) about the netherlandjobb.com scam. Robert Krom goes several steps further than I usually do with a good investigation into how the scammers try to rope people in.

Robert identifies mailukrsoft.com  as the next stage in the scam. To me, it looks like it is run by a different crew, but scammers tend to oursource activities to others these days. It appears that one group of scammers may be looking for money mules and then selling them on to others.

Fake jobs: canada-newjob.com, netherlandjobb.com and newjobrecruit.com

Another bunch of domains being used to peddle fake jobs:

canada-newjob.com
netherlandjobb.com
newjobrecruit.com

These domains form part of this long running scam. You may find that the emails appear to come from your own email address (here's why).

The domain registrant details are no doubt fake:

    Adolf Nureng
    Email: adolfnureng@yahoo.dk
    Organization: Adolf Nureng
    Address: Spellingevej 3 Ro
    City: Gudhjem
    State: Gudhjem
    ZIP: 3703
    Country: DK
    Phone: +45.70225632

The jobs offered will actually be criminal activities such as money laundering. If you have any examples of emails using these domains, please consider sharing them in the Comments. Thanks!

Here is one example:
