Dear spammers.. alotbqobutarkwqechsdovmzfwa to you too.

Dear spammers,

Sending links out like this to drive people to your fake meds site does not work.

"Test mesage" / "hi there" spam

Here's an unusual spam run coming through right now.. it doesn't seem to have a payload at all..

In all cases "Test mesage" is spelled incorrectly and the body is just "hi there". Because there is no malicious payload (such as an attachment or link) and the message lacks the sort of trigger words that might get it blocked then there is a high probability that at least some of these will get through your spam filter/

Vodafone D2 "Ihre Festnetz-Rechnung für November 2014" spam

This fake Vodafone spam seems to be widely distributed, even though it is obviously targeted at German speakers.

From:     Vodafone D2 [2942-MU31406aBM0@kundenservice.vodafone.de] [pm2053em1]

In this case, the link in the email goes to studiarte.com/gFlEyLcSo where it downloads a file 2014_11vodafone_onlinerechnung.zip which contains a malicious binary 2014_11vodafone_onlinerechnung_0020003909_november_3903980009_11_00000000445.exe

This file has a very low detection rate at VirusTotal of 1/53. Most automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3]  don't say much, however the ThreatTrack report [pdf] is more details and apparently shows the malware phoning home to:

46.183.219.78 (DataClub, Latvia)
178.210.167.213 (Markum Bilisim Teknolojileri, Turkey)

Additionally, the following IPs and active domains are queried:

64.27.101.155 (Ken Thomas, US)
109.74.3.6 (GleSYS Internet Services, Sweden)
144.76.59.84 (Hetzner, Germany)

eaelgqsjqukhenaq.eu
tejohjlxraqmamnx.eu

Some of these DGA domains have been sinkholed, I have removed obvious ones but not that some of these IP addresses may not actually be malicious. However, if you are a network administrator there is no harm in blocking or monitoring sinkholes from your network, so I would recommend the following blocklist:

46.183.219.78
178.210.167.213

109.74.3.6

177.73.233.170

141.255.165.152
141.255.165.155
173.193.106.11

UPDATE 2014-11-20
I previously recommended blocking the following IPs which it turns out are legitimate, possible added by the malware authors to create false positives. If you have blocked them then I recommend unblocking them.

64.27.101.155
144.76.59.84
212.19.62.76

"ADP Past Due Invoice#39911564" spam

I haven't seen ADP-themed spam for a very long time, mostly because it gets filtered into a deep dark hole that even I can't see into.

From: billing.address.updates@ADP.com [mailto:billing.address.updates@ADP.com]
Sent: 12 November 2014 16:28
Subject: ADP Past Due Invoice#39911564

 Your ADP past due invoice is ready for your review at ADP Online Invoice Management .

 If you have any questions regarding this invoice, please contact your ADP service team at the number provided on the invoice for assistance.

 Please note that your bank account will be debited within one banking business day for the amount(s) shown on the invoice.

Review your ADP past due invoice here.

 Important: Please do not respond to this message. It comes from an unattended mailbox.
Most of the ones that I have seen are malformed and instead of a link they just say <html> which is one reason that it is getting through the spam filter. I have seen one live one, leading to [donotclick]www.bingemann-buerosysteme.de/services/invoice1211.php

This downloads a ZIP file invoice1211_pdf28.zip which in turn contains a malicious executable invoice1211_pdf.exe which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 6/54.

It then contacts the following URLs according to the Malwr report:
http://188.165.206.208:30083/1211uk1/HOME/0/51-SP3/0/

please note that your attension is needed in our station, as we got information on this fraud information as transactions detailed in attachment. kindly acknowledge this letter and report to our office as all report and contact details are in attachment. failure to this you will be held responsible.

Attached is a file EXCH DETAILS PR 7777709.zip which contains two files:

This is some sort of malicious application written in Java (top tip - if you have Java installed on your computer, remove it. You probably don't need it). It has a VirusTotal detection rate of 7/55 and the Malwr report has some screenshots of something odd happening, but not much more data.

"Duplicate Payment Received" spam has a malicious Word DOC attached

This email comes with a malicious Word document attached:

From:     Margery George
Date:     11 November 2014 11:50
Subject:     INV634746Q Duplicate Payment Received

Good afternoon,

I refer to the above invoice for which we received a bacs payment of £689.75 on 10th November 14.  Please be advised that we already received payment for this invoice, by bacs on 30th October 2014.

I will therefore arrange a refund, please confirm preferred method, cheque or bacs transfer.  If a cheque please confirm the name the cheque should be made out too or if bank transfer, please advise bank details. 

If you have any queries regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you .

Many thanks 
The reference number in the subject is randomly generated and is reflected in the filename (in this case De_634746Q.doc. There are two different variants I have seen with low detection rates at VirusTotal [1] [2]. These contain two slightly different malicious macros [1] [2] [pastebin] which download a file test.exe from one of the following locations:

http://62.76.180.133/get/get.php
http://62.76.189.108/get/get.php


Note that the IPs are very close, and both belong to Clodo-Cloud / IT House Ltd in Russia. The file is then copied to %TEMP%\NYHEFLJDPZR.exe which has a VirusTotal detection rate of just 1/53.

According to the Malwr report this malicious binary then connects to the following URLs:

"Kate Williams" / "invoice 8798556 November" spam has a malicious DOC attachment

This fake invoice spam comes with a malicious Word document attached:

From:     Kate Williams
Date:     10 November 2014 09:40
Subject:     invoice 8798556 November

Please find attached your November invoice, we now have the facility to email invoices,
but if you are not happy with this and would like a hard copy please let me know.
New bank details for BACS payments are Santander Bank Sort Code 8798556 Account No 5608798556.
Thanks very much

The number of the invoice is random and is consistent between the subject and attachment (in this case invoice_8798556.doc). There are two different attachments, both poorly-detected at VirusTotal [1] [2] each containing a malicious macro [1] [2].

I haven't been able to analyse it myself yet, but according to this comment it downloads a binary from adeline.de/js/bin.exe which has a low VirusTotal detection rate and for which the comments from user borromini say:

#malware #dridex

Downloaded by malicious word doc with macro (f9d6161e1b26cf6faab4ac0eecde3a7d).

POST requests to

84.40.9.34:8080

87.106.84.226

Also tried 37.139.23.200:8080 and 213.143.97.18:8080  
UPDATE
The macros I mentioned download from the following locations:

http://adeline.de/js/bin.exe
http://antjegoerner.de/dokumente/bin.exe


The executable is then copied to %TEMP%\CQRZKMIESEX.exe and the ThreatTrack report [pdf] shows the malware connecting to 84.40.9.34 (Hostway, UK) where it POSTS to /hCsYvpW%26lZaTGPBgK$W%264P49%24%2BNU&Y/H%26%20@Kg

"Sue Morckage" / "This email contains an invoice file attachment" spam

This fake invoice spam (all pretending to be from someone called Sue Morckage) comes with a malicious Word macro attachment.
From:     Sue Morckage
Date:     7 November 2014 13:10
Subject:     inovice 9232088 November

This email contains an invoice file attachment
The number in the subject is random, and attached is a document with the same format name (in this example invoice_9232088.doc). So far I have seen two attachments both with VT detection rates of 4/54 [1] [2] [Malwr report] which contains one of two malicious macros [1] [2] which then go and download a binary from one of the following locations:

http://ksiadzrobak.cba.pl/bin.exe
http://heartgate.de/bin.exe

This binary gets copied into %TEMP%\AKETVJIJPZE.exe and it has a VirusTotal detection rate of just 1/54, but so far automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] are inconclusive as to what this does, however the payload is likely to be Cridex.


No, I do not want to go to your spammy disco

I've seen some odd spam in the past. I've never been spammed by an Essex disco operator before:

From:     ronnie-s-dj Professional Entertainment [info@ronnie-s-dj.co.uk]
Date:     7 November 2014 06:24
Subject:     Christmas New Year 2014! Disco & Karaoke Party Time

The spamvertised domains are karaoke-dj.co.uk and ronnie-s-dj.co.uk and the same owner also operates ronwindsor.co.uk. I'll spare him the embarrassment of listing his address.

I assume that Ron bought a cheap mailing list in good faith without realising that it was worthless, and then proceeded to spam out from his BT IP of 109.154.39.151 via Outlook.com with abandon. Unfortunately, this sort of thing gets both your web hosting suspended and internet access revoked.

Hopefully Ron has a better idea of how to run a disco than how he promotes his business. But I don't fancy a trip down to Essex to find out.

europejobdays.com and other fake job sites to avoid 7/11/14

This tip from @peterkruse about a spam run pushing fake jobs using the domain europejobdays.com caught my eye, especially the mention of the nameservers using the stemcellcounseling.net domain.

These fake job sites tend not to go alone, and a look a the other domains using  the same namesevers comes up with a whole list of related fake sites that you should also avoid:

europejobdays.com
bamfde.com
myjobuk.com
usajobid.com
jobsiniteu.com
mycareerau.com
trabajoses.com
infopracapl.com
itjobrapido.com
jobstreetmy.com
jobstreetus.com
myjobromania.com
trabajospain.com
profesiaczech.com
careersprocanada.com
subitoit.net
stemcellcounseling.net

You should be aware that the jobs on offer are actually part of some criminal enterprise such as money laundering or parcel reshipping. You can see a video that explains the parcel reshipping scam and the role of the parcel mule below.

DUCO "Remittance Advice November" spam

This fake remittance advice spam does pretends to come from a company called DUCO (it does not) and comes with a malicious Word document.

From:     Therese Holden
Date:     4 November 2014 13:59
Subject:     Remittance Advice November FO1864232P

Dear Sir/Madam

Please find attached the details of the payment credited to your account for the sum of 1739.67 GBP

Regards,
Therese Holden
Accounts Payable Department DUCO
The attachment is a Word document with a randomly-generated filename that matches the subject of the email, it contains a malicious macro [pastebin] with a VirusTotal detection rate of 0/52 (you can see the Malwr report here, it doesn't say much). In this case the macro downloads a file from http://144.76.153.36:8080/doc/9.exe and saves it as %TEMP%\DCITXEKBIRG.exe, this is also poorly detected with a detection rate of just 3/52.

The Malwr report shows that the malware reaches out to the following URLs:

http://91.222.139.45/%26RNB2/hs3SILqWzl1%24x%20/rI9sI
http://213.140.115.29/9m0/xvgsH.jTg@/NsY/75/0b50

Attached is a Word document with the same filename as the supposed invoice number. So far I have seen three variations:
The macros download a further malicious file from one of the following locations:


http://149.62.168.210:8080/doc/8.exe
http://111.125.170.132:8080/doc/8.exe
http://121.78.88.208:8080/doc/8.exe


This binary has a detection rate of just 2/54. The Malwr report shows this binary reaches out to the following locations:

http://91.222.139.45/4gA6Cw%2CuZ%265%2B7/TvPKRfz@/tpm=MCPSixTbfs6%2B

http://213.140.115.29/hIR%3D7nkeM%2CgV/%2C@fN0iWI/+arv9NF%24F


The malware also drops a malicious DLL with a VirusTotal detection rate of 9/54 which is identified as Cridex.

The Word document contains a malicious macro [pastebin] but is currently undetected at VirusTotal (the Malwr report doesn't say much but is here).

The macro then downloads http://ctmail.me/1.exe and executes it. This malicious binary has a a detection rate of 4/52, and according to the Malwr report it contacts the following URLs:

http://84.40.9.34/Xl37yRuH5LS6Nqk/~yNk%2C2IO.1Jw9/wm@OF0fR%2BPvics%2CR8H/br~%262O%2Cu3k%3FI~i7%2D

84.40.9.34 is Hostway in Belgium, 213.143.97.18 is Wien Energie, Austria. The malware also downloads a DLL as 2.tmp which has a detection rate of 3/54.

UPDATE 1 - 2014-11-03

A very similar email is doing the rounds this morning with a different version of the attachment (called ORDER-203-2083868-0173124.doc) which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 0/54 and contains this malicious macro [pastebin]. This downloads a file from http://hilfecenter-harz.de/1.exe which also has zero detections at VirusTotal. According the the Malwr report this binary connects to the following URLs:

http://84.40.9.34/E8Zf43JY1/8/wXw4M%26H~J%7EQ5/./

http://37.139.23.200/RqCGVww2Sup3iH5rZ/h=abyF$sO%3DheysYSV/n5%3Fs/

It also downloads a malicious DLL which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 7/54 which identifies this as a version of Cridex.

Recommended blocklist 2:

UPDATE 2  - 2014-11-03

A second version of the attachment is also being circulated, this time with a slightly different macro [pastebin] which downloads the same binary as before from http://garfield67.de/1.exe. I have updated blocklist 2.

UPDATE 3 - 2014-11-06

The spam has been updated with a new date and there are now three new malicious Word documents [1] [2] [3] [Malwr report] which contains one of two macros [1] [2] that download a malware binary from one of the two following locations:

http://castours.com/js/bin.exe
http://www.irming.hr/js/bin.exe


This file is saved as %TEMP%\LNZMTDCWLZX.exe and has a VirusTotal detection rate of 4/53. The Malwr report shows that it connects to:

http://84.40.9.34/NjTrZuSH2&rb/@&RT/aATv%2BqGe%2C

It also drops a DLL which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 8/53 which is identified as Cridex.

"Further Reminder" spam has a malicious Word document attached

Another round of malicious Word documents today, this time with the subject "Further Reminder" from random senders. For example:

From:     Milan Roach
Date:     30 October 2014 11:35
Subject:     Further Reminder SN4215796

Good afternoon,

Please see attached statement sent to us, I have highlighted on this the payments made to you in full and attached a breakdown of each one for you to correctly allocate. Hope this helps.
Thanking you in advance.

Many Thanks & Kind Regards
Milan Roach

Finance Department
Attached is a malicious Word document with the same name as the subject (e.g. CopySN4215796.doc). There are at least two different versions of this document [Version 1 VirusTotal / Malwr report, Version 2 VirusTotal / Malwr report]. If macros are enabled on the target machine then a malicious macro [pastebin] runs and downloads a futher component from one of the two following locations (there may be more):

http://81.7.3.101:8080/doc/6.exe
http://195.154.126.245:8080/doc/6.exe


This binary has a VirusTotal detection rate of 7/54 and the Malwr report shows it contacting the following URLs:

http://212.59.117.207/fJ5SAAWU%7EQh@T%7E/.c0ip%2D~wm&4iS$2%20/@sVAEx5n%2Dq2fhFR%2C2E3nTsY7CsJG

It also drops a file 2.tmp which is actually a DLL with a VirusTotal detection rate of 14/54 which identifies it clearly as a variant of  Cridex.

Recommended blocklist:
212.59.117.207
217.160.228.222
91.222.139.45
81.7.3.101
195.154.126.245

UPDATE: a contact tells me that this malware also connects to a config file at:
212.59.117.207:8080
91.222.139.45:8080
..so I have updated the blocklist above to include these.

"INVOICE 101760 from Power EC Ltd" spam

This spam supposedly comes from a company called Power EC Ltd, but it doesn't. Instead it come with a malicious Word document.

From:     soo.sutton77@powercentre.com
Date:     28 October 2014 11:01
Subject:     INVOICE 101760 from Power EC Ltd

Please find attached INVOICE number 224244 from Power EC Ltd

The invoice number varies, as does the name of the attachment but it will be similar to INVOICE101760.doc which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 5/53. This contains this malicious macro [pastebin] which attempts to download a file from http://Riccis.homepage.t-online.de/Testseite/js/bin.exe which is currently 404ing but I believe to be the same payload as this [virustotal].  The Malwr analysis for that file shows it communicating with the following URLs:

Subject:     INVOICE 224245 from Power EC Ltd

Please find attached INVOICE number 224245 from Power EC Ltd
I have only seen one version of this with a malicious attachment 14153.DOC which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 4/55, which contains this malicious macro [pastebin] which attempts to download a component from http://fruido.de/js/bin.exe to %TEMP%\XZLNXTMSJUX.exe but fortunately that download location is not working (however, there could well be other download locations).

UPDATE 2014-12-08
A further version of this spam run is under way, described here.

Randomly generated "invoice xxxxxx October" spam comes with a malicious Word document

There have been a lot of these today:

From:     Sandra Lynch
Date:     27 October 2014 12:29
Subject:     invoice 0544422 October

Please find attached your October invoice, we now have the facility to email invoices,
but if you are not happy with this and would like a hard copy please let me know.
New bank details for BACS payments are Santander Bank Sort Code 0544422 Account No 5600544422.
Thanks very much

Kind Regards


Sandra Lynch
The numbers in the email are randomly generated, as is the filename of the attachment (in this example it was invoice_0544422.doc).

The document itself is malicious and has a VirusTotal detection rate of 5/53. Inside the Word document is a macro [pastebin] that attempts to download an execute a malicious binary from http://centrumvooryoga.nl/docs/bin.exe which is currently 404ing which is a good sign.

There's a fair chance that the spammers will use this format again, so always be cautious of unsolicited email attachments.

Here's a simple phishing spam..
From:     info@kythea.gr
Date:     24 October 2014 13:50
Subject:     payment

this mail is to inform you that the payment have been made
see the attached file for the payment slip

Attached is a file payment Slip (2).html which displays a popup alert:
You have been signed out of this account this may have happened automatically cause the attachement needs authentication. to continue using this account, you will need to sign in again. this is done to protect your account and to ensure the privacy of your information
The victim then gets send to a phishing page, in this case at uere.bplaced.net/blasted/tozaiboeki.webmail.html which looks like this..

Ummm... do people really fall for this? The frightening answer is.. probably, yes.

Bitstamp.net "New bank details" spam

This fake email pretending to be from Bitstamp.net (a Bitcoin exchange) is meant to have a malicious payload (probably a Word document) but in the sample I have seen that payload is missing. However, if you receive a similar email then wth an attachment then it is probably malicious.

From:     Bitstamp.net [no_reply@bitstamp.net]
Date:     23 October 2014 14:48
Subject:     New bank details

New banking details

Dear Bitstamp clients,

We would like to inform you that Bitstamp now has new bank details, please check attached file.

We would like to assure those of you who sent deposits to our old details that our old IBAN is still active and your transfers, if otherwise sent with correct information, should arrive without a problem.

Please note that SEPA transfers usually take 1 to 3 business days to arrive and would kindly ask those waiting for your SEPA transfers longer than usually to please send us a transfer confirmation so that we can examine our bank account log and locate your transfers.

Also for those waiting on deposits we ask for your patience; we have accumulated a long list of transfers which lack information or contain wrong information which means we need to manually go through all of them instead of our system sorting them automatically.

Best regards
CEO, Nejc Kodrič
Bitstamp LIMITED
Despite the hype, very few people actually deal with Bitcoins and I suspect even fewer use this particular exchange, so I assume that the attackers in this case are very interested in targeting Bitcoin owners specifically.

"This email contains an invoice file attachment" spam contains poorly-detected malware

This fake invoice spam has a malicious Word document attached.

From:     Brittney Spencer , Customer service [Fitzgerald.79f7@host-77-242-217-170.telecomitalia.sm]
Date:     22 October 2014 12:46
Subject:     Reference:ZHO904856SU

 This email contains an invoice file attachment ID:ZHO904856SU



Thanks!

Brittney Spencer .
In this case the attachment was ZHO904856SU.doc which contains a malicious macro, however at the moment the document is showing a VirusTotal detection rate of 0/54.

Attempting to open the document gives the following message:

You didn't enable macros.
Content cant be visible.

..along with an embedded image to tell you how to turn macros off.

If the victim does this, then this malicious macro [pastebin] runs and downloads an executable from http://162.243.234.167:8080/gr/4.exe which has a VirusTotal detection rate of just 1/53.

The Malwr analysis shows this binary posting data to: http://178.250.243.114/IArej7rcO/@HPZ8A5aPU_W/

The 178.250.243.114 IP address is allocated to MajorDomo LLC, Russia. The executable also drops a malicious DLL using the name 2.tmp which also has a VirusTotal detection rate of 0/54.

Attached is a malicious Word document 15040BII3646501.doc which has a VirusTotal detection of 6/54. The Malwr report gives a little detail as to what it going on, but the crux of it is that if you have macros enabled then they will download and execute a malicious binary from http://gpsbah.com/images/1.exe which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 11/53 and which the Malwr report  indicates then connects to the following URLs:

http://62.75.182.94/eQ7j0+Z7/kfnmylxhl/%7EaEskub2Av7ZSh%20v@q%2Ct6W/@

UPDATE 2014-10-23

Another version of the attachment is doing the rounds, this time the attachment has a detection rate of 0/54  (Malwr report) but in this case it downloads a file from http://jvsfiles.com/common/1.exe which has a detection rate of just 1/54.

According to the Malwr report, that binary contacts the following URLs:

http://84.40.9.34/kSIfRXSnEP25k76mz/9_oSoYWIoYi0/0%2B.tYWE05j%7EVA%24k/Jnt%26
http://87.106.84.226/SYh7Y+NbkSk74/mWbqM9m/L2o/%26hA%2DFG
http://87.106.84.226/QzteG3org5I%3Fa/@&e%7EfgonN%205ccf~qCi2/1_%2C%26A3QPq%3F/w56KC%2D4B0lFMbghLcFm

http://87.106.84.226/pIQ%3FSS%3F%2DPC%207/%7E=jN%3Fh5e%3FP%20mB

87.106.84.226 is 1&1, Germany and 84.40.9.34 is Hostway, Belgium.

This executable drops a DLL on the system which is also poorly detected with a detection rate of 1/54.

UPDATE 2014-11-13

A fresh round of spam has started with the same template. So far I have seen two documents with low detection rates [1] [2] [Malwr report] that drop one of two malicious binaries [1] [2] [pastebin] from one of these locations:

http://body-fitness.net/js/bin.exe
http://live.znicz-pruszkow.cba.pl/mandoc/js/bin.exe

This is also poorly-detected according to VirusTotal. The Malwr report for this shows that it reaches out to the following URL (again):

http://84.40.9.34/Xe0RBsy6nU2qow&nr7pGA%3DTWw./%7EwosMJ_V46G3/5Cqmr+6S/1ZzUf

It also drops a DLL identified by VirusTotal as Dridex.
