Malware spam: "Payment history" leads to Locky

Another morning, another spam run pushing Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Payment history
From:     Theodore Wilkins
Date:     Friday, 28 October 2016, 10:09

The payment history for the first week of October 2016 is attached as you requested.

Please review it and let us know if you have any question.

The sender name varies from message to message. Attached is a ZIP file named in a similar way to payment_history_aecca55b.zip containing a malicious VBS script [pastebin] (e.g. payment history 6848D10A PDF.vbs). You can see some of the activities of these script in these automated analyses [1] [2].

There are many different variants of the script, downloading components from:

Malware spam: "This is from the Telephone Company to remind you that your bill is overdue." leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Bill overdue
From:     Alexandria Maxwell
Date:     Thursday, 27 October 2016, 9:35

This is from the Telephone Company to remind you that your bill is overdue.

Please see the attached bill for the fine charge.

The sender name varies. Attached is a ZIP file which in the sample I saw was named detailed_bill_a9ec14342.zip containing a malicious script [pastebin] detailed bill C43A9.vbs

The Malwr Report and Hybrid Analysis for that script shows behaviour consistent with Locky ransomware, and my sources (thank you) tell me that the various scripts download from:

Malware spam: "Your order has been proceeded." leads to Locky

This curiously worded spam email leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Your order has been proceeded
From:     Elijah Farrell
Date:     Wednesday, 26 October 2016, 12:41


Your order has been proceeded.

Attached is the invoice for your order 2026326638.

Kindly keep the slip in case you would like to return or state your product's warranty.

The name of the sender is randomly generated, as is the reference number. Attached is a ZIP file beginning with "order_details_" plus a random sequence, containing a malicious .VBS script with a similar name.

Malware spam: "Western Union Help Desk" / "Proof" leads to Adwind

Just by way of a change, here's some malspam that doesn't lead to Locky..

From:    Western Union Help Desk [mes@prosselltda.cl]
Reply-to:    Western Union Help Desk [mes@prosselltda.cl]
Date:    26 October 2016 at 20:07
Subject:    Proof

Dear All,

To comply with customer service standards, we need to have the Proof of Payment for the following attached transaction that has been marked as paid by one of your Locations.

Please e-mail us a copy of the ?To Receive Money Form?  as a Proof of Payment. If no TRMF or reason for delay were received by the above mentioned due date, we will consider the Transaction as Paid in Error and will proceed to reinstate it accordingly charging Paying Account.

In case there are an Automatic Customer Receipt (ACR) and a Handwritten Form, please send us both.

In this case, the link in the email goes to:

linamhost.com/host/Western_Union_Agent_Statement_and_summary_pdf.jar

This is a Java file, if you don't have Java installed on your PC (and why would you want this 1990s relic anyway?) then it won't run. VirusTotal identifies it as the Adwind Backdoor. The Malwr report shows it attempting to contact:

boscpakloka.myvnc.com     [158.69.56.128] (OVH, US)

A whole bunch of components are downloaded and frankly I haven't had time to look, but it shares characteristics with the one reported at Malware-Traffic-Analysis. Check the Dropped Files section of the Malwr Report for more.

Personally, I recommend blocking all dynamic DNS domains such as myvnc.com in corporate environments. At the very least I recommend blocking 158.69.56.128.

Malware spam: "Blank / Document / File / Image / img / IMG / Pic / Picture / Scan Data" leads to Locky

Perhaps minimalist spam works better, there is currently a Locky spam run with on of the subjects Blank / Document / File / Image / img / IMG / Pic / Picture / Scan Data plus a number (e.g. "Picture 4") with a ZIP file attached matching the subject (e.g. Picture 4.zip) which in turn contains a malicious Javascript that looks like this [pastebin]. There is no body text.

Generic email phish tries to bamboozle with jargon

This phishing spam tries to confuse potential victims by throwing legitimate-looking jargon around.

From: Postmaster [mailer-daemon@mailhost.rceit.com]	Date: 24 October 2016 at 15:43
To: victim@victimdomain.tld Subject: Warning: Incoming Messages for victim@victimdomain.tld is [13 undelivered messages]
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software inbound-mail-x1.501.102.43.1 I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver 13 contact email messages since October 16 2016 for victim@victimdomain.tld To retrieve your emails and reconfigure Port 486, Click Here Warning: Failure to do this will lead to total suspension of your email account. Remote host said: 550 sorry, can't deliver message to your inbox                                                                                                Please delete and Ignore if this is not your email address.

Clicking on the link ends up at a generic phishing site (in this case the link was foodworkshighcountry.com.au/inbound/index2.htm?victim@victimdomain.tld) which throws even more jargon including these lines:

An error in your SMTP/POP settings is blocking your incoming emails……

Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=001a1135f63edd4472050da42d05.

Typing your username and password will send it to the bad guys. Not all phishing emails look stupid, and although this one doesn't really make sense when you look at it closely, it looks authentic enough that it might fool some people.

Malware spam: "Invoice-123456-12345678-123-A1B2C3D4" / "01635 279370"

This fake financial spam leads to malware:

From:    invoices@[redacted].com
Date:    6 October 2016 at 07:16
Subject:    Invoice-365961-42888419-888-DE0628DA

Dear Customer,

Please find attached Invoice 42888419 for your attention.

Should you have any Invoice related queries please do not hesitate to contact either your designated Credit Controller or the Main Credit Dept. on 01635 279370.

For Pricing or other general enquiries please contact your local Sales Team.

Yours Faithfully,

Credit Dept'

### This mail has been sent from an un-monitored mailbox ###

The name of the sender and reference numbers will change from email to email. Attached is a Word document with a name in a format similar to 20161006_42888419_Invoice.doc.

The telephone number appears to belong to a company called Stearn who have absolutely nothing to do with this spam.

The sample I sent for automated analysis [1] [2] downloads some data from:

eaglemouth.org/d5436gh 

I know from my sources (thank you, you know who you are) that there are additional download locations at:

dabihfluky.com/d5436gh
fauseandre.net/d5436gh

This particular variant of Locky ransomware uses black hat hosting for this download location rather than a hacked legitimate site. All these domains are hosted on the following IPs:

62.84.69.75 (FiberLink Networks, Lebanon)
85.118.45.12 (Andrexen, France)

Furthermore, those IPs are associated with these malicious domains (active ones are in bold):

Malware spam: "Document from.." leads to Locky

I have only received a single sample of this spam, presumably it comes from random senders. There is no body text in my sample.

Subject:     Document from Paige
From:     Paige cuddie (Paige592035@gmail.com)
Date:     Wednesday, 5 October 2016, 9:37 

In this case there was an attached file DOC-20161005-WA0002793.zip containing a malicious script [pastebin] DOC-20161005-WA0002715.wsf.

Automated analysis [1] [2] shows this sample downloads from:

euple.com/65rfgb?EfTazSrkG=eLKWKtL

There will be many other locations besides this.

Those same reports show the malware (in this case Locky ransomware) phoning home to:

88.214.236.36/apache_handler.php (Overoptic Systems, UK / Russia)
109.248.59.100/apache_handler.php (Ildar Gilmutdinov aka argotel.ru, Russia)

The sample I found downloaded a legitimate binary from ciscobinary.openh264.org/openh264-win32-v1.3.zip presumably as an anti-analysis technique.

Malware spam: "I have shipped your packet. Please check the report enclosed here to view more info."

This spam email leads to Cerber ransomware:

Date:    3 October 2016 at 13:46
Subject:    Pede Industries

Hello
I have shipped your packet. Please check the report enclosed here to view more info.

Word doc password: JqpcGrKK9


Pede Industries

Company names and senders are randomly generated. Attached is a randomly-named .DOT file with password protection. The password protection makes it hard to analyse, but my source tell me that these documents download from:

www.ldlogistic.it/kls.doc
csir.bdx6.siteinternet.com/kls.doc

The dropped malware apparently has an MD5 of 0e7913875724151d8e822add07ec75b2.

Once downloaded, the malware attempts to make a C2 connection to an IP in the range
31.184.234.0/23:6892 (GTO, Montenegro and Virty.io, Russia). I don't know which is the active IP, but blocking the entire /23 might be a good precaution.

Malware spam: "[Scan] 2016-1003 15:26:26" / "Sent with Genius Scan for iOS." leads to Locky

Malware spam: "please sign" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     please sign

Date:     Monday, 3 October 2016, 10:27

Hi [redacted],

I have made the paperwork you asked me to prepare two days ago.
Please check the attachment. It just needs your signature.



Best Wishes,
Ricardo Buchanan
CEO

In the only sample I have seen so far, the attachment name is paperwork_scan_7069f18e6.zip containing a malicious script paperwork scan ~1EB91.wsf plus a junk file with a single letter name. This obfuscated script [pastebin] appears to download Locky ransomware. Analysis is pending.

Malware spam: "Receipt 103-526" / Receipt.xls

This spam leads to Locky ransomware:

From     rosalyn.gregory@gmail.com
Date     Thu, 29 Sep 2016 21:07:46 +0800
Subject     Receipt 103-526

I cannot tell if there is any body text, however there is an attachment Receipt.xls which contains malicious code [pastebin] that in the case of the sample I analysed downloads a binary from:

opmsk.ru/g76ub76

There will be many other download locations too. Automated analysis [1] [2] shows that this is Locky ransomware phoning home to:

89.108.83.45/apache_handler.php (Agava, Russia)
91.200.14.93/apache_handler.php [hostname: ef4bykov.example.com] (SKS-LUGAN, Ukraine)
xpcwwlauo.pw/apache_handler.php [hostname: vjc.kz] [91.234.33.132] (FOP Sedinkin Olexandr Valeriyovuch aka thehost.ua, Ukraine)

A malicious DLL is dropped with a detection rate of 6/57. Malicious IPs and domains overlap quite a bit with this earlier attack. This version of Locky encrypts files with a .odin extension.

UPDATE - a source indicates these are all the download locations in this attack:

Malware spam: "Bill for documents" / "Bill for papers" / "Bill for parcel" leads to Locky

This spam leads to Locky ransomware. The sample I have seen have no body text, but have subjects in the format:

 Bill for documents 31564-29-09-2016
 Bill for parcel 08388-28-09-2016
 Bill for papers 657-29-09-2016

Each subject has a random number appended by the date. Attached is a RAR archive file with a name similar to Bill 657-29-09-2016.rar containing a malicious .js script which downloads a binary from one of the following locations (according to a trusted source):

Something evil on 69.64.63.77

This appears to be some sort of exploit kit leveraging hacked sites, for example:

[donotclick]franchidiscarpa[.]com/index.php
--> [donotclick]j8le7s5q745e[.]org/files/vip.php?id=4

You can see this EK infecting a legitimate site in this URLquery report. The IP address appears to be a customer of ServerYou:

OrgName:        MegaHosterNetwork
OrgId:          MEGAH
Address:        Zaporozhskogo kazachestva 15

RegDate:        2012-09-02

These other domains are hosted on the same IP:

[donotclick]j8le7s5q745e.org
[donotclick]3wdev4pqfw1u.org
[donotclick]fg1238tq38le.net

All of those domains are registered to:

It looks like there might be a fair amount of activity to the IP at the moment, judging by the number of URLquery reports, so it might well be worth blocking.

Malware spam: "Attached:Scan(70)" and others leads to Locky

This fake scanned document leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Attached:Scan(70)
From:     Zelma (Zelma937@victimdomain.tld)
To:     victim@victimdomain.tld;
Date:     Tuesday, 27 September 2016, 14:15 

There does not appear to be any body text. My trusted source tells me that the subject is a combination of the words Attached / Copy / File / Emailing and Document / Receipt / Scan plus a random two-digit number. Attached is a ZIP file with a name similar to the subject, containing a malicious .wsf scriot.

Evil network: 178.33.217.64/28 et al (evolution-host.com, customer of OVH)

This customer of OVH appears to be registered with fake details, and are distributing malware via a block at 178.33.217.64/28. Currently, the following IPs are distributing some sort of unidentified exploit kit:

178.33.217.64
178.33.217.70
178.33.217.71
178.33.217.78
178.33.217.79

A list of the domains associated with those IPs can be found here [pastebin].

OVH have allocated the IP range to this customer:

There is no such address in London, the postcode is obviously invalid and the telephone number appears to be an Irish mobile phone. Checking the evolution-host.com domain reveals something similar:

Registrant Name: OWEN PHILLIPSON
Registrant Organization: EVOLUTION HOST
Registrant Street: 24 OLDFARM ROAD
Registrant City: LONDON
Registrant State/Province: LONDON

Again, an invalid address with a different street number from before and an Irish telephone number. We can look at evolutionhost.co.uk too..

    Registrant:
        Owen Phillipson

    Registrant type:
        UK Sole Trader

    Registrant's address:
        24 Oldfarm Road
        London
        London

    Data validation:
        Nominet was able to match the registrant's name and address against a 3rd party data
source on 09-Feb-2014

Obviously Nominet's validation process isn't worth rat shit. The Evolution Host website appears to have no contact details at all.

RIPE associates the tag ORG-JR46-RIPE with the following IP ranges, all rented from OVH. I suggest you block all of them:

91.134.220.108/30
92.222.208.240/28
149.202.98.244/30

UPDATE

A contact says that IP listed at the beginning of the post are the Neutrino Exploit Kit.

I have only seen a single sample so far, but I understand that reference numbers and names vary. Attached is a malicious .DOCM file with a name in the format OffOrd_87654321-00-1234567-654321.docm , my trusted source says that the various versions download a component from:

It drops a DLL which had a moderate detection rate earlier. This version of Locky does not communicate with C2 servers, so if you want to block or monitor traffic perhaps you should use the string 67SELbosjc358.

Malware spam: "Express Parcel service" leads to Locky

This spam has a malicious attachment:

From:    Marla Campbell
Date:    19 September 2016 at 09:09
Subject:    Express Parcel service

Dear [redacted], we have sent your parcel by Express Parcel service.

The attachment includes the date and time of the arrival and the lists of the items you ordered. Please check them.


Thank you.

Attached is a randomly named ZIP file containing a malicious .js script in the format Express Parcel service ~0A1B2C~.js with a junk w file that seems to contain nothing.

The Hybrid Analysis for one sample shows a download location of:

178.212.131.10/z3zeg (21 Century Telecom Ltd, Russia)

There are probably others (I'll post them if I get them). The payload appears to be Locky ransomware, phoning home to:

195.64.154.202/data/info.php (Ukrainian Internet Names Center LTD, Ukraine)
46.38.52.225/data/info.php (TCTEL, Russia)
ajsrbomqrrlra.pw/info.php [91.223.88.209] (Private Person Anton Malyi aka conturov.net, Ukraine)

It drops a DLL with a detection rate of 8/54.
