Malware spam: "Attached is the tax invoice of your company. Please do the payment in an urgent manner." leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Tax invoice
From:     Kris Allison (Allison.5326@resorts.com.mx)
Date:     Tuesday, 13 September 2016, 11:22

Dear Client,

Attached is the tax invoice of your company. Please do the payment in an urgent manner.


Best regards,
Kris Allison

The name of the sender will vary. Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file containing a malicious .wsf with a name beginning with "tax_invoice_scan PDF". According to my trusted source (thank you!) the various scripts download a component from one of the following locations:

adzebur.com/dsd7gk  [37.200.70.6] (Selectel Ltd, Russia)

Malware spam: "Budget report" leads to Locky (and also evil network on 23.95.106.128/25)

This fake financial spam leads to Locky ransomware:

From:    Lauri Gibbs
Date:    12 September 2016 at 15:11
Subject:    Budget report

Hi [redacted],

I have partially finished the last month's budget report you asked me to do. Please add miscellaneous expenses in the budget.


With many thanks,
Lauri Gibbs

Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file which in sample I saw contained two identical malicious scripts:

921FA0B8 Budget_report_xls - 1.js
921FA0B8 Budget_report_xls.js

The scripts are highly obfuscated however the Hybrid Analysis and Malwr report show that it downloads a component from:

lookbookinghotels.ws/a9sgrrak
trybttr.ws/h71qizc

These are hosted on a New Wave Netconnect IP at 23.95.106.223. This forms part of a block 23.95.106.128/25 which also contained Locky download locations at two other locations [1] [2] which rather makes me think that the whole range should be blocked.

A DLL is dropped with a detection rate of about 8/57 [3] [4] which appears to phone home to:

51.255.105.2/data/info.php (New wind Stanislav, Montenegro / OVH / France)

Malware spam: "Order Confirmation xxxxx" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to malware:

From:    Ignacio le neve
Date:    9 September 2016 at 10:31

This message is intended only for the individual or entity to which it is

you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any
dissemination, distribution or copying of this communication and its

The name of the sender and the reference number will vary. Attached is a file named consistently with the reference (e.g. Ord355050211.zip) but an error in the MIME formatting means that this may save with a .dzip ending instead of .zip.

Contained within the ZIP file is a malicious .HTA script with a random name (example). This simply appears to be an encapsulated Javascript.

Analysis is pending, my trusted source (thank you) says that the various scripts download from one of the following locations:

The URL is appended with a randomised query string (e.g. ?abcdEfgh=ZYXwvu). The payload is Locky ransomware has an MD5 of 5db5fc57ee4ad0e603f96cd9b7ef048a but I do not have a sample yet.

This version of Locky does not use C2s, so if you want to block traffic then I recommend using the list above or monitoring/blocking access attempts with 7832ghd in the string.

UPDATE: The Hybrid Analysis of one of the scripts does not add much except to confirm that this is ransomware.

Malware spam: "[Vigor2820 Series] New voice mail message from xxxxx"

This spam appears to come from within the victim's own domain, it has a malicious attachment. The telephone number referred to will vary.

Subject:     [Vigor2820 Series] New voice mail message from 01427087154 on 2016/09/08 15:14:54

Attached is a ZIP file with a name in the format Message_from_01427087154.wav.zip which contains a randomly-named and malicious .wsf script. My trusted source (thank you) says that the various versions of the script download from one of the following locations:

Malware spam: "Agreement form" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to malware:

Subject:     Agreement form
From:     Marlin Gibson
Date:     Wednesday, 7 September 2016, 9:35

Hi there,

Roberta assigned you to make the payment agreement for the new coming employees.

Here is the agreement form. Please finish it urgently.

Best Regards,
Marlin Gibson
Support Manager

The name of the sender will vary. Attached is a ZIP file named with a random hexadecimal sequence, containing a malicious .JS script ending with agreement_form_doc.js and in the sample I saw there was also a duplicate..

308F92BC agreement_form_doc - 1.js
308F92BC agreement_form_doc.js

Automated analysis [1] [2] shows that the scripts [partly deobfuscated example] attempt to download a binary from one of the following locations:

donttouchmybaseline.ws/ecf2k1o
canonsupervideo4k.ws/afeb6
malwinstall.wang/fsdglygf
listofbuyersus.co.in/epzugs

Of those locations, only the first three resolve, as follows:

donttouchmybaseline.ws 216.244.68.195 (Wowrack, US)
canonsupervideo4k.ws   51.255.227.230 (OVH, France / Kitdos)
malwinstall.wang       51.255.227.230 (OVH, France / Kitdos)

The registration details for all those domains are the same:

  Registry Registrant ID:
  Registrant Name: Dudenkov Denis
  Registrant Organization: Eranet International Limited
  Registrant Street: Lenina 18 Lenina 18
  Registrant City: Vladivostok

  Registrant Phone: 85222190860
  Registrant Phone Ext:
  Registrant Fax:
  Registrant Fax Ext:
  Registrant Email: volosovik@inbox.ru
  Registry Admin ID:

These are the same details as found here. We know from that incident that the download locations are actually spread around a bit:

23.95.106.206 (New Wave NetConnect, US)
51.255.227.230 (OVH, France / Kitdos)
107.173.176.4 (Virtual Machine Solutions LLC, US)

216.244.68.195 (Wowrack, US)
217.13.103.48 (1B Holding ZRT, Hungary)

The following also presumably evil sites are also hosted on those IPs:

bookinghotworld.ws
clubofmalw.ws
darkestzone2.wang
donttouchmybaseline.ws
canonsupervideo4k.ws
malwinstall.wang
wangmewang.name
tradesmartcoin.xyz
virmalw.name

Currently I am unable to work out the C2 locations for the malware, which is probably Locky ransomware. In the meantime, I recommend you block:

51.255.227.228/30
23.95.106.206
107.173.176.4

Malware spam: "We are sending you the credit card receipt from yesterday. Please match the card number and amount."

This fake financial spam has a malicious attachment:

Subject:    Credit card receipt

Dear [redacted],

We are sending you the credit card receipt from yesterday. Please match the card number and amount.

Account manager

The spam will appear to come from different senders. Attached is a ZIP file with a random hexadecimal name, in turn containing a malicious .js script starting with the string credit_card_receipt_

A Malwr analysis of three samples [1] [2] [3] shows each one downloading a component from:

canonsupervideo4k.ws/1bcpr7xx

This appears to be multihomed on the following IP addresses:

23.95.106.206 (New Wave NetConnect, US)
107.173.176.4 (Virtual Machine Solutions LLC, US)
192.3.7.198 [hostname: ns2.3arab.net] (Hudson Valley Host, US)
217.13.103.48 (1B Holding ZRT, Hungary)

Of interest, the WHOIS details have been seen before in relation to Locky. They are probably fake:

Malware spam: "Our shipping service is sending the order form due to the request from your company."

This fake shipping email comes with a malicious attachment:

Dear customer,

Our shipping service is sending the order form due to the request from your company.

Please fill the attached form with precise information.

Very truly yours,
Charles Burgess

The sender's name will vary. Attached is a ZIP file with a random hexadecimal name, containing a malicious .js file beginning with a random sequence and endng with _shipping_service.js.

Automated analysis [1] [2] [3] [4] of two samples sees the script downloading from the following locations (there are probably more than this):

timetobuymlw.in/2dlqalg0
peetersrobin.atspace.com/t2heyor1
www.bioinfotst.cba.pl/u89o4

Between those four reports, there are three different DLLs dropped (VirusTotal [5] [6] [7]). This Hybrid Analysis shows the malware phoning home to:

5.34.183.211/data/info.php [hostname: take.cli] (ITL, Ukraine)

xattllfuayehhmpnx.pw/data/info.php [91.223.180.66] (FOP Sedinkin Olexandr Valeriyovuch aka thehost.ua, Ukraine)

Good morning petrol.

Attached is the bank transactions made from the company during last month.

The name of the sender will vary. Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file containing a malicious .js script with a name consisting of a random hexadecimal number plus _bank_transactions.js.

According to the Malwr report of these three samples [1] [2] [3] the (very sweary) scripts download from these following locations (there are probably more):

Each one of those samples drops a different DLL with detection rates of 8/57 or so [4] [5] [6] and according to the Hybrid Analsis reports [7] [8] [9] these phone home to:

95.85.19.195/data/info.php [hostname: vps-110831.freedomain.in.ua] (Digital Ocean, Netherlands)

This drops Locky ransomware through a malicious attachment. It appears to be largely the same as found in this earlier spam run.

Malware spam: "Unable to deliver your item, #000179376" / "FedEx International Ground" leads to ransomware

This fake FedEx email has a malicious attachment.

From:    FedEx International Ground [terry.mcnamara@luxmap.com]
Date:    2 August 2016 at 18:53
Subject:    [REDACTED], Unable to deliver your item, #000179376

Dear [Redacted],

This is to confirm that one or more of your parcels has been shipped.
Please, open email attachment to print shipment label.

Thanks and best regards,
Terry Mcnamara,
Support Manager.

Attached is a ZIP file FedEx_ID_000179376.zip which contains a malicious script FedEx_ID_000179376.doc.js which is highly obfuscated but which becomes clearer when deobfuscated. This Hybrid Analysis on the sample shows that the script downloads ransomware from opros.mskobr.ru but a quick examination of the code reveals several download locations:

opros.mskobr.ru
alacahukuk.com
www.ortoservis.ru
aksoypansiyon.com
samurkasgrup.com

Three of those domains are on the same IP (77.245.148.51), so we can assume that the server is completely compromised. If we extend that principle to the other servers then you might want to block traffic to:

195.208.64.20 (ROSNIIROS, Russia)
77.245.148.51 (Bilisim Teknolojileri Yazilim San. Tic. Ltd. Sti., Turkey)
5.101.153.32 (Beget Ltd, Russia)

A couple of binaries are dropped onto the system, a.exe (detection rate 2/53) [may not be malicious] and a2.exe (detection rate 7/53).

The payload seems to be Nemucod / Crypted or some related ransomware.

Recommended blocklist:
195.208.64.20
77.245.148.51
5.101.153.32

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

This spam comes with a malicious attachment:

Subject:     Corrected report
From:     Joey Cox (Cox.48@sodetel.net.lb)
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):

Scam: Fanrong Europe Fund / fanrongfund.info / fanrongeuropefund.info / fanrongeuropefund.com

This spam email advertising a "too good to be true" investment is a scam:

I have received two of these emails, one coming from the IPs 188.69.207.57 and 188.69.223.168 which are both allocated to a mobile phone provider in Lithuania (UPDATE: also 188.69.223.54). The website fanrongfund.info was created just a few days ago (28th July 2016) and is registed to the following (presumably fake) registrant:

The site is hosted (apparently) in the British Virgin Islands on an IP allocated to the Public Domain Registry (PDR). It uses nameservers from Russian company AYBHOST.COM.

The website is pretty generic looking and opens with these words of wisdom:

Our main trade approach is:
"Close the position if it runs to loss, and hold it if it runs to profit".

Hans Messner
fund manager "Fanrong Europe Fund"

What next. "Buy low, sell high"? Here are some screenshots in case you see another version of this on your travels:

The "About" page carries this text:

We are the EU-domiciled investment manager with successful experience in stock trade in EU. Our professional assets managers have personal approach to trade with bear and bulls market. We use self-made investment strategy that allows getting the constant positive result in short-term horizon. All investment process is in full accordance with IIS (International Investment Standards) of Fanrong Capital (Hong Kong) (fanrongcapital.com).

Presumably this is copied off an earlier scam site, in this case there is an official warning about that particular firm.

fanrongfund.info appears to have mirrors at:

fanrongeuropefund.info
fanrongeuropefund.com

Both of these are hosted on 46.4.24.196 (Hetzner, Germany). The WHOIS details for those are inconsistent with each other.

Malware spam: "Bank account record" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to malware:

Subject:     Bank account record
From:     Stephen Ford (Ford.24850@aworkofartcontracting.com)
Date:     Friday, 29 July 2016, 10:56

Good morning,

Did you forget to finish the Bank account record?
Read the attachment and let me know if there is anything I didn't make clear.

Yours sincerely,
Stephen Ford

57ad5eceb5e68fe97525ff408e9da2ecda5a97be6743bbe0fe 

The sender will vary from email to email, but the "From" name is always consistent with the one in the email. Attacked is a ZIP file with a random hexadecimal number which in the sample I am looking at contains a malicious .wsf script starting with the words "account record" (sample here).

According to the Hybrid Analysis on that script and Malwr report on a partly deobfuscated version the script downloads a binary from:

oleanderhome.com/q59ldt5r

This dropped binary has a detection rate of 5/55 and is presumably Locky ransomware, but automated analysis is inconclusive [1] [2].

The is also traffic to kassa.p0.ru which is more of a puzzle and doesn't look particularly malicious. I don't know if that is common to all scripts, but it might be worth looking out for in your traffic logs.

If I get more information on this I will post it here.

The name of the sender and the hexadecimal number at the bottom varies. Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file which in the sample I analysed contains a malicious .wsf script beginning with the word "redacted".

The Malwr analysis for the partially deobfuscated script and this Hybrid Analysis show this particular sample downloading from:
