The malicious payload is at [donotclick]onlinebayunator.ru:8080/forum/links/column.php  (probably a Blackhole 2 exploit kit) hosted on the following familiar IPs that should be blocked:

84.22.100.108 (Republic CyberBunker, Antarctica - Amsterdam more likely)
190.10.14.196 (RACSA, Costa Rica)
203.80.16.81 (Myren, Malaysia)

Of note,  CyberBunker has a long history of spamming and tolerating criminals. Blocking the range 84.22.96.0/19 should afford your network some additional protection.

Something evil on 82.165.38.206

There's something evil on 82.165.38.206 (1&1, Germany).. Zbot, basically. The WHOIS details are refreshingly honest about the intent of the evil domains on the server. There are some legitimate domains as well, so it looks like a hacked server.

SMS Spam: "Hi, we think you may be entitled to compensation.."

These annoying spammers (and probably scammers) are back, sending out their scummy PPI spam messages from +447568105443

Hi, we think you may be entitled to compensation of up to £3500 from missold PPI on a credit card or loan.
Reply INFO for more info
Reply STOP to quit

I've never been mis-sold PPI, so this is obviously a generic spam. It also looks like an invitation to make a claim even if you're not eligible. And that would be fraud..

If you get one of these, you should forward the spam and the sender's number to your carrier. In the came of T-Mobile, O2 and Orange the number to report to is 7726 ("SPAM"). Vodafone customers should use 87726 ("VSPAM") and Three customers should use 37726 ("3SPAM"). Hopefully the carriers will act if there are enough complaints.

You might also want to consider blocking all ddns.ms and dnset.com domains, although this type of Dynamic DNS domain does have its uses, I personally believe that the dangers of mis-use outweigh the benefits.

Due to the corrections in the taxation policies that have been recently applied, IRS informs that LLC, C-Corporations and S-Corporations have to validate their EIN in order to reaffirm their actual status. You have 14-day period in order to examine all the changes and make necessary amendments. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.



For the details please refer to:

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:
allmn-leicncester.net
amsnxn.com
bowerystore.net
cahgmt.com
cahmncm.com
casxmn.com
catmngn.com

Evil network: 108.178.59.0/26

There's quite a bit of malware coming from a range of Singlehop IPs over the past few days. The range is 108.178.59.0/26 (108.178.59.0 - 108.178.59.63)

So far, I've seen blackhole samples from 108.178.59.20, 108.178.59.11 and 108.178.59.26 which is enough to convince me that the whole /26 is bad an should be blocked.

Singlehop have reallocated the IP range to a customer:

network:Class-Name:network
network:ID:ORG-SINGL-8.108-178-59-0/26
network:Auth-Area:108.178.0.0/18
network:IP-Network:108.178.59.0/26
network:Organization:Lorenzo Coco
network:Street-Address:via Nardi, 8 Prato
network:City:Prato
network:State:Italy
network:Postal-Code:59100
network:Country-Code:IT
network:Tech-Contact;I:NETWO1546-ARIN
network:Admin-Contact;I:NETWO1546-ARIN
network:Abuse-Contact;I:ABUSE2492-ARIN
network:Created:20120430
network:Updated:20120430

It's quite possible that Mr Coco doesn't know that the IP range is being abused in this way, but blocking access to it would be prudent.

Added: You can also add 108.178.59.6 to the list of malicious sites.

BBB Spam / one.1000houses.biz

This fake BBB spam leads to malware at one.1000houses.biz:

Date:      Tue, 25 Sep 2012 11:42:18 +0200
From:      "Better.Business Bureau" [8050910@zread.com]
Subject:      Activity Report



Dear business owner, we have received a complaint about your company possible involvement in check cashing and Money Order Scam.

The malicious payload is at [donotclick]one.1000houses.biz/links/deep_recover-result.php hosted on 199.195.116.185 (A2 Hosting, US). The domain 1000houses.biz appears to be a legitimate domain where the GoDaddy account has been hacked to serve malware on subdomains. There seems to be a long-standing issue with GoDaddy domains being used in this way.

Blocking 199.195.116.185 would probably be prudent.

Spam with numbers and "hi" in it..

There seems to be a lot of this about today..

Date:      Mon, 17 Sep 2012 08:39:16 -0300
Subject:      Re: 89898877282500

Hi

The numbers vary in each email, from single digits to quite long sequences. The body text is always "Hi", nothing appears to be hidden or malicious in any way. One characteristic is that the recipient is not usually the one in the "To" field as the spam is using the BCC field to suppress recipients.


The emails are not harmful, but obviously there is something going on. One possibility is that this is a probing attack, where an outside source is attempting to enumerate live mailboxes or collate server responses for further use. A short email like this will get passed through many spam filters, so (for example) it could be that the attacker is looking for SMTP responses that indicate a real mailbox to spam again later rather than a dead one.





If you have any other ideas, then please share them in the Comments :)

After clicking the link bouncing through a couple of redirectors, the victim ends up at [donotclick]46.249.37.122/links/systems-links_warns.php which appears to be generating a 404 error (although it could be fake). This could be a legitimate but hacked server as it is also the IP address for a proxy service called dutchprox.com. In any case, you might decide you want to block the IP just in case.

FedEx spam / dushare.net and gsigallery.net

Two fake FedEx campaigns today, with a format similar to the one found here but with different payload sites of dushare.net and gsigallery.net

In the first case, the malicious payload is at [donotclick]dushare.net/main.php?page=c82ec1c8d6998cf0 (report here) hosted on 203.91.113.6 (G Mobile, Mongolia). In the second case the payload is at [donotclick]gsigallery.net/main.php?page=2bfd5695763b6536 (report here) also hosted on 203.91.113.6.

The following domains are on the same server and should also be treated as being suspect.

Nokia Lumia 920

This is nice. If you've been waiting a long time for Nokia to come up with something competitive in the smartphone market then the wait might be over, because the Lumia 920 is certainly as good as the best of them.

Perhaps the interesting thing is Windows Phone 8, based on the same core as the desktop version. It holds out the promise of eventual Active Directory integration and easier management for corporates. And it's a lot, lot sexier than a BlackBerry.

"Records passed to us show you're entitled to a refund.." SMS Spam (again)

These spammers are at it again:

Records passed to us show you're entitled to a refund approximately £2560 in compensation from mis-selling of PPI on your credit card or loan.Reply INFO or stop

The sending number is +447876628983 (although they will change this). Bearing in mind that I have never been mis-sold PPI, I can pretty much disregard this as a scam. Except, rather more seriously the implication is that the spammers are prepared to submit a fraudulent refund claim on your behalf, which is something rather more serious.

If you get one of these, you should forward the spam and the sender's number to your carrier. In the came of T-Mobile, O2 and Orange the number to report to is 7726 ("SPAM"). Vodafone customers should use 87726 ("VSPAM") and Three customers should use 37726 ("3SPAM"). Hopefully the carriers will act if there are enough complaints.

Fake HMRC spam leads to multi-phish

Here's something I haven't seen before.. it starts with an email:

From: HM Revenue & Customs [mailto:refund.request@hmrc.gov.uk]
Sent: 05 September 2012 14:27
Subject: Tax Refund Alert - Action Required

HM Revenue and Customs are the UK tax collecting agency, so this is basically a tax refund. The link goes to a somewhat authentic looking page.

The phishing site in this case is in Korea (durideco.co.kr in this case). The interesting part is the drop-down menu in the middle that the victim is meant to use to select their bank. There are 17 different UK banks to choose from. Each one leads to an individual phishing page for each bank, for example:

or

I won't bother pasting all the pictures here, but some of the pages are very good and a few don't work at all (e.g. Northern Rock, which doesn't really exist any more).

This is quite a clever approach. Normally a phishing email is a "one bank per phish" affair.. it's no use sending someone a Barclays phish if they're with HSBC. In this case pretty much all the major UK banks are covered in one email which is really quite sneaky..

Something evil on 195.225.55.130

These domains are pushing some sort of malware or other (possibly fake antivirus). It's hard to tell exactly what nastiness is here, but given that these are all recently registered domains with fake WHOIS details then it's certainly not going to be anything good.

Whatever it is, it seems to be promoted via spam and requires the correct User Agents and Referrer data to trigger. Sites are hosted on 195.225.55.130 (Dako Systems, Netherlands)

LinkedIn spam / 108.178.59.26 and myasuslaptop.com

This fake LinkedIn spam leads to malware on 108.178.59.26 and myasuslaptop.com:

LinkedIn values your privacy. At no time has LinkedIn made your email address available to any other LinkedIn user without your permission. © 2012, LinkedIn Corporation.

The malicious payload (report here) is at [donotclick]108.178.59.26/bv6rcs3v1ithi.php?w=6de4412e62fd13be (Singlehop, US) in a block 108.178.59.0/26 suballocated to a person in Italy.  A further malicious download is attempted from [donotclick]myasuslaptop.com/updateflashplayer.exe which appears to be a legitimate (but hacked site).

My personal preference with any emails purporting to be from LinkedIn is to block them at the perimeter. As far as most businesses are concerned it is simply a playground for recruiters trying to poach your staff..
