Samsung Galaxy S III

I think it's fair to say.. that this is a very, very nice device indeed. Quad-core CPU, Android 4.0, a big HD screen and lots of goodies that will distract you from the (presumably) wallet emptying price. Yes.. it's the Samsung Galaxy S III which is probably the second most anticipated device of the year after the iPhone 5!

tsnet-china.com / "Klver Industrial Co. Ltd" domain scam.

This domain scam has been around for years..

From:     jeff jeff@tsnet-china.com
To:   
Date:     3 May 2012 10:02
Subject:     Regarding " dynamoo " Dispute

(If you are not in charge of this please transfer this email to your President or appropriate person, thanks)

Dear President,

We are the department of Asian Domain registration service in china, have something to confirm with you. We formally received an application on May 2, 2012. One company which self-styled "Klver Industrial Co. Ltd" were applying to register "dynamoo" as Network Brand and following domain names:

 dynamoo.asia 
 dynamoo.cn 
 dynamoo.com.cn 
 dynamoo.com.tw 
 dynamoo.hk 
 dynamoo.in 
 dynamoo.net.cn 
 dynamoo.org.cn 
 dynamoo.tw

After our initial checking, we found the name were similar to your company's, so we need to check with you whether your company has authorized that company to register these names. If you authorized this, we will finish the registration at once. If you did not authorize, please let us know within 7 workdays, so that we will handle this issue better. Out of the time limit we will unconditionally finish the registration for "Klver Industrial Co. Ltd".

Best Regards,
                                   
Jeff  Yang
Registration Dept.

Tel: +862885915586  ||  Fax: +862885912116
Address:8/F XiYu building No,52 JinDun Road,QingYang District,Chengdu City,China.

The idea here is to panic the domain owner into registering a bunch of worthless domains. Do I really care if someone registers a bunch of Asian domain names (sub of which are on really crappy second level domains)? No, I don't. And neither should you.

Here's the thing: domain registrars for common domains* like this DO NOT carry out these checks. It isn't their responsibility. In reality, they will NOT contact you prior to registration. There is almost definitely no company interested in buying these domains. And remember, there are hundreds of top-level domains.. you could spend a LOT of money securing worthless variations for no reason.

Give this one a wide berth. If you really do want to find a registrar for additional domains, shop around to find a reliable and inexpensive registrar rather than dealing with spammers.

* some "sunrise" registrations for new top-level domains do check trademark ownership when they are launched.

Isn't it amazing..

Isn't it amazing how everything sometimes comes together. I came across this particularly well researched article at a blog called Cultivated Drivel.

Sometimes people make those connections that you should have seen your case. In this case, the post managed to link together several strands of my own blog that I hadn't managed to do myself.. namely: Inter Financial Ltd, Gary NcNeish and Piradius.net

It looks like Mr McNeish might have his fingers in quite a few spam pies..

"Invitation FACEBOOK" hoax

There are a lot of genuine malware-laden fake Facebook emails about, but this one is a hoax.. and a very old one at that, going all the way back to the 1990s in one form or another.

Subject: Fwd: FW: PLEASE CIRCULATE

PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS NOTICE TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY ON YOUR CONTACT LIST

In the coming days, you should be aware…

Do not open any message with an attachment called:

"Invitation FACEBOOK"

Regardless of who sent it

It is a virus that opens an Olympic torch and burns the whole hard
disc C of your computer

This virus will be received from someone you have in your address book


That's why you should send this message to all your contacts.  It is
better to receive this email 25 times than to receive the virus and
open it

If you receive email called: "Invitation FACEBOOK", though sent by a friend,

do not open but delete it immediately

CNN said it is a new virus discovered recently and that has been
classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever

It is a Trojan Horse that asks you to install an adobe flash plug-in.
Once you install it, it's all over. And there is no repair yet for
this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the
Hard Disc, where the vital information of their function is saved



THE INFORMATION HAS BEEN CHECKED WITH SNOPES
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/youtube.asp

DO exercise caution with emails that appear to be from Facebook, PayPal, LinkedIn or any one of a variety of services.. you can usually check the true destination of a link in an email by floating the pointer over it. DON'T circulate silly hoaxes like this because it simply wastes everybody's time.

There's a spam run this morning (probably one of the familiar LinkedIn / Printer / CareerBuilder / Pizza / etc spams) that is trying to direct users to a malicious payload on 91.121.84.204:8080/showthread.php?t=34c79594e8b8ac0f (OVH, France.

Facebook, Inc. Attention: Department 415 P.O Box 10005 Palo Alto CA 94303  

The malicious payload can be found on 216.119.142.235/showthread.php?t=34c79594e8b8ac0f (report here) hosted by A2 Hosting in the US.

Something evil on 85.17.222.80, lpicture.info and ghjvodka.info

Some sites appear to have been hit by a sophisticated multi-part injection attack that triggers only once per IP (so difficult to track down).

There are two injected elements, one is a .in site hosted on 85.17.222.80 [Leaseweb, Netherlands] which could be one of the following:

sds.vaselisa.in
dds.kiriloid.in
drf.yerevano.in
sddr.margarit.in
cd.fancyclu.in

There's a pretty inconclusive Wepawet report here but be assured that these domains have a malicious payload.

The second injection is a reference to lpicture.info which is hosted on 95.168.173.151, this is a Leasweb Germany IP address suballocated to inferno.name who appear to be a Serbian firm fronted in the UK. I strongly recommend blocking all their IP ranges (listed here) if you can. lpicture.info merely forwards to a malicious payload on ghjvodka.info (report here) and that in turn is listed on 37.59.198.55 (OVH, France) along with some other suspect looking sites that lead be to conclude that this IP address is worth blocking too:

ns2.deftheory.org
abcvodka.info
defvodka.info
ghjvodka.info
abcfree.info
ns1.abcfree.info
deffree.info
ghjfree.info
ns1.ghjfree.info
klmfree.info
opqfree.info
ns1.opqfree.info
rstfree.info
uvwfree.info
ns1.uvwfree.info

deflocal.info
ns1.deflocal.info
ghjlocal.info
klmlocal.info
noplocal.info
ghjseat.info
klmseat.info
ns1.klmseat.info

This malware seems to be quite good at avoid analysis. But if you can block these IPs then I strongly recommend that you block them.

Something evil on 82.211.45.81 and 82.211.45.82

82.211.45.81 (Accelerated IT Services GmbH, Germany) is another server with a bunch of subdomains of hacked GoDaddy accounts, apparently being used to deliver payloads from other sites that have a hacked .htaccess file.

82.211.45.0/24 doesn't appear to host anything at all apart from these malicious sites and is a good candidate to block.

The hacked GoDaddy accounts have been set to point everything except www. to the server on 82.211.45.81. Hacked domains on this server appear to be:

revolution-clan.com
banknewsdirectories.com
psychicwireless.com
greenbankingemagazine.com
greenbankingemag.com

Many of these hijacked domains are registered to:

   BankNews Publications
   5115 Roe Blvd, Ste 200
   Shawnee Mission, Kansas 66205
   United States

It appears that BankNews Publications have lost control of their GoDaddy account.

82.211.45.81 will actually resolve for any subdomain at all for these hacked domains, but these are a sample of malicious subdomains hosted on this server:

jiqjmiglxjmedma.greenbankingemagazine.com

"MediaWiki Mail" Spam / carewelhealth.com

A novel spam, in this case leading to a fake pharmacy on carewelhealth.com.. but it could just as easily be malware.

Of course, the IP address of 105.191.258.285 is invalid, but most people probably won't be looking too closely. Keep an eye out for this type of spam. it might well lead to something nastier than a fake Viagra merchant.

New Blogger interface: It's all too horrible to contemplate.

If you use Blogger, you'll know that it has a new interface. It's horrible. OK, the old interface was horrible but usable at the same time. This is just horrible, with the familiar looking elements seeming sprinkled at random over the new interface.

There are a lot of companies at the moment doing a similar thing.. making over their tried and tested (but tired) old software interfaces and coming up with something pastel-ly and awful. Or perhaps I'm just a Luddite?


Update: you can share your feedback on the Blogger forum which is full of similar complaints.

There are three hyperlinks in the message, two of them are to LinkedIn and one of them is to a fake pharma site on mysalepharmacy.com on 178.19.108.195 in Poland.

Personally, I hate LinkedIn emails. Blocking everything that appears to be from linkedin.com will not have any adverse impact on your life.
