Malware spam: "Business card" / "I have attached the new business card design." leads to Locky

This spam email has a malicious attachment:

From:    Glenna Johnson
Date:    4 August 2016 at 10:18
Subject:    Business card

Hello [redacted],

I have attached the new business card design.
Please let me know if you need a change


King regards,
Glenna Johnson

Sender names and that long hexadecimal number with vary. Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file containing a malicious .js script beginning with "business card" [example]. The payload appears to be Locky ransomware.

This Hybrid Analysis of the script gives plenty of detail as to what is going on. My trusted sources tell me that the list of download locations is quite short:

escapegasmech.com/048220y5
goldjinoz.com/0a3tg
platimunjinoz.ws/13fo8lnl
regeneratewert.ws/1qvvu9lu
traveltotre.in/2c4ykij7


This drops a binary with a detection rate of 8/54. The earlier Hybrid Analysis report shows it phoning home to:

31.41.46.29/php/upload.php (Relink Ltd, Russia) [hostname: ip.cishost.ru]
185.129.148.19/php/upload.php (MWTV, Latvia)
91.219.29.35/php/upload.php (FLP Kochenov Aleksej Vladislavovich aka uadomen.com, Ukraine) [hostname: 35.29.219.91.colo.ukrservers.com]

All of those network blocks have a pretty poor reputation and I recommend that you block their entire ranges.

Recommended blocklist:
31.41.40.0/21
185.129.148.0/24
91.219.28.0/22

Malware spam: "Please review the attached corrected annual report." / "Corrected report"

This spam comes with a malicious attachment:

Subject:     Corrected report

Date:     Monday, 1 August 2016, 13:37

Dear webmaster,

Please review the attached corrected annual report.

Yours faithfully
Joey Cox
The name of the sender will vary. Attached is a ZIP file with a random name, containing a malicious .WSF script beginning with "annual report". This attempts to download Locky ransomware from one of the following locations (thank you to my usual source for analysis):

Malware spam: "Attached Image" leads to Locky

This spam appears to come from the user's own email address, but this is just a simple forgery. It has a malicious attachment.

From:    victim@victimdomain.tld
To:    victim@victimdomain.tld
Date:    26 July 2016 at 10:27
Subject:    Attached Image

**********************************************************************
The information in this email is confidential and may be privileged.
If you are not the intended recipient, please destroy this message
and notify the sender immediately.
**********************************************************************
Attached is a ZIP file with a name apparently made up of random numbers, containing a malicious .js script with another random number, such as this one. In this example the script downloads a malicious binary from:

www.isleofwightcomputerrepairs.talktalk.net/okp987g7v

There will be many other scripts with different download locations and perhaps other binaries. The file downloaded is Locky ransomware with a detection rate of 4/54. The Hybrid Analysis for the dropped file shows it phoning home to:

31.41.47.41/upload/_dispatch.php (Relink Ltd, Russia)

Malware spam: "I attached the detailed business analysis (updated}"

This spam has a malicious attachment. And also mismatched (brackets}.

Date     Tue, 19 Jul 2016 10:47:09 +0200
Subject     Business Analysis
Message text

I attached the detailed business analysis (updated}

The message will appear to be "from" different individuals, varying from message to message. However, the main part of the body text is always the same.

Attached is a ZIP file containing elements of the recipients email address and some random letters and numbers. I have been unable to obtain a copy of the attachment at the moment, but it is likely to be Locky ransomware and if I get further details I will post them here.

UPDATE

My usual trusted source for analysis (thank you) reports that these ZIP files contain a malicious .wsf script which downloads a component from one of the following locations:

Malware spam: DOC1234 / document4321 / Document56789 leads to Locky

Malware spam: "Final version of the report" probably leads to Locky

This spam leads to malware:

From:    Julianne Pittman
Date:    23 June 2016 at 09:48
Subject:    Final version of the report

Dear info,

Patrica Ramirez asked me to send you the attached Word document, which contains the final version of the report.
Please let me know if you have any trouble with the file, and please let Patrica know if you have any questions about the contents of the report.


Kind regards


Julianne Pittman
Operations Director (CEO Designate)
The names in each version of the email vary. Attached is a ZIP file with a filename containing some version of the recipients email address and the word "report" which contains in turn a malicious ZIP .js script beginning with the words "unpaid".

The payload is not known at this time and analysis is pending, but is likely to be Locky ransomware similar to this.

UPDATE 1

Hybrid Analysis of three sample scripts [1] [2] [3] show three download locations (you can bet there will be many more):

bptec.ir/kvk9leho
promoresults.com.au/gx4al
boranwebshop.nl/ggc7ld


Each one drops a slightly different binary (VirusTotal results [4] [5] [6]) but at the moment automated analysis is inconclusive [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]. I will try to post the C2 servers here if I get them.

UPDATE 2

Malware spam: "Corresponding Invoice" leads to Locky

This spam has a malicious attachment, probably leading to Locky ransomware:

From:    Althea Duke
Date:    22 June 2016 at 16:00
Subject:    Corresponding Invoice

Dear lisa:

Thank you for your email regarding your order of 21 June, and sorry for the delay in replying. I am
writing to confirm receipt of your order, and to inform you that the item you requested will be delivered
by 25 June at the latest. If you require more information regarding this order, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Also, our records show that we have not yet received payment for the previous order of 11 June,
so I would be grateful if you could send payment as soon as possible. Please find attached the
corresponding invoice.

If there is anything else you require, our company would be pleased to help. Looking forward to
hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Althea Duke
Managing Director
Who the message is "from" varies from message to message, but the body text is the same. Analysis of the payload is pending, but it is probably similar to yesterday's Locky run.

UPDATE

A little bit of analysis, via these automated reports [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] show some download locations as:

personal-architecture.nl/6gcpaey
ding-a-ling-tel.com/b289dg
plasticsmachine.com/d43ndxna
hyip-all.com/9qwmc65

Various files are dropped, including these samples [6] [7] the latter of which is a three week old version of Locky. Go figure. The comments in this report show C2 servers at:

51.254.240.48 (Andrey Orlov aka Relink LLC, Russia / OVH, France)
91.219.29.41 (FLP Kochenov Aleksej Vladislavovich aka uadomen.com, Ukraine)
185.82.216.55 (ITL, Bulgaria)
93.170.169.188 (PE Dunaeivskyi Denys Leonidovich, Ukraine)


Three out of those four servers are the same as yesterday.

Malware spam: "Please find attached our invoice for services rendered and additional disbursements in the above-mentioned matter."

This malicious spam leads to Locky ransomware, something that we haven't seen for several weeks:

From:    Lilian Fletcher

Please find attached our invoice for services rendered and additional disbursements in the above-
mentioned matter.

Hoping the above to your satisfaction, we remain.

Sincerely,

Head of Maintenance
These are being sent out in huge numbers at the moment. Details vary from message to message, but the body text is essentially the same. Attached is a ZIP file containing the words addition, invoice or services plus the recipients email address and a number (e.g. lisa_addition_278292.zip) containing a malicious script beginning with the word "addition".

Hi [redacted],

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)

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.

Subject:    Re:

The name of the sender varies. Attached is a ZIP file with a name export_xls_nnn.zip or wire_xls_nnn.zip (where nnn are random letters and numbers) which contains multiple copies of the same malicious .js file (all apparently beginning urgent). These scripts download slightly different binaries from several locations including:


4hotdeals.com.au/j47sfe
stationerypoint.com.au/cnb3kjd
floranectar.com.au/er5tsd
togopp.com/vbg5gf
printjuce.com/rt5tdf
designitlikeal.com/cvb3ujd


There are probably many more download locations.

The typical detection rate for these binariesis about 12/56 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] and automated analysis [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] shows network traffic to:

Malware spam: "Third Reminder - Outstanding Account" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam has a malicious attachment. It comes from random senders. Last week a fake "Second Reminder" spam was sent out.

From:    Ernestine Perkins
Date:    3 May 2016 at 08:54
Subject:    Third Reminder - Outstanding Account

 Dear Client,

We have recently sent you a number of letters to remind you that the balance of $9308.48 was overdue.
For details please check document attached to this mail


We ask again that if you have any queries or are not able to make full payment immediately, please contact us.


Regards,

Ernestine Perkins
Franchise - Sales Manager / Director - Business Co 

Attached is a ZIP file which in the samples I have seen begins with Scan_ or Document_ each one of which contains four identical copies of the same script, e.g.:

48524088_48524088 - copy (2).js
48524088_48524088 - copy (3).js
48524088_48524088 - copy (4).js
48524088_48524088 - copy.js
48524088_48524088.js


Typical detection rates for the scripts seem to be about 3/56.  The samples I have seen download a malicious binary from one of the following locations (there are probably more):

digigoweb.in/k3lxe
rfacine.com.br/z0odld
boontur.com/b2hskde


These binaries are all slightly different, with detection rates of 4 to 6 out of 56 [1] [2] [3]. Various automated analyses [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] show that this is Locky ransomware, and it phones home to:

31.184.197.126 (Petersburg Internet Network, Russia)

Subject:    Second Reminder - Unpaid Invoice

 We wrote to you recently reminding you of the outstanding amount of $8212.88 for Invoice number #304667, but it appears to remain unpaid.
For details please check invoice attached to this mail

Regards,

Attached is a ZIP file with a name similar to unpaid_invoice551.zip which contains a randomly-named script. Oddly, most of the script appears to be text copy-and-pasted from the Avira website.


The scripts I have seen download slightly different binaries from the following locations:

cafeaparis.eu/f7yhsad
amatic.in/hdy3ss
zona-sezona.com.ua/hj1lsp
avcilarinpazari.com/u7udssd


VirusTotal detection rates are in the range of 8/56 to 10/56 [1] [2] [3] [4]. In addition to those reports, various automated analyses [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] show that this is Locky ransomware phoning home to:

91.234.32.19 (FOP Sedinkin Olexandr Valeriyovuch / thehost.ua, Ukraine)
83.217.8.155 (Park-web Ltd, Russia)
31.41.44.246 (Relink Ltd, Russia)
89.108.84.155 (Agava Ltd, Russia)
51.254.240.60 (Relink, Russia / OVH, France)


I strongly recommend that you block traffic to:

91.234.32.19
