About NACHA
By 1978, it was possible for two financial institutions located anywhere in the United States to exchange ACH payments under a common set of rules and procedures. By 1988, the number of ACH payments exceeded 1 billion annually. By 2001, the volume of ACH payments grew by more than 1 billion in a single year.
To help guide advocacy and related communication activities, NACHA established a Communications and Marketing Advisory Group (CMAG) in early 2010. CMAG brings together practitioners representing ACH Network participants to engage in work efforts to benefit the Network and those who utilize it.

HARMONY URBAN,
Federal Reserve Wire Network 

The first spam leads to a hacked site in Australia (there are probably many others). In turn, this tries to load four scripts to install malware though an HCP attack (Wepawet report here). The scripts are:

lallygag.com/js.js
www.miracleshappenrr.com/images/js.js
kyare.net/js.js
allmemoryram.com/js.js

In all cases, those scripts appear to be on legitimate (but hacked) websites. The final step for that attack is to try to install a malicious Java application from colobird.com/content/import.jar - a domain that is hosted on 216.250.120.100 but one that was only registered very recently.


The second and third emails take a different approach, loading a page at www.btredret.ru/main.php hosted on 93.187.142.38 (S.C. Profisol Telecom S.R.L., Romania). This attemps a Java exploit (Wepawet report here). This IP is part of a small netblock of 93.187.142.32 - 93.187.142.63 (93.187.142.32/27) and can probably safely be blocked, or you could just block the whole /24 if you wanted,

This is an old approach that has been doing the rounds for two years. It must still work though..

This is a pretty common virus laden email:

There's a link in the email.. the first port of call is a hacked legitimate website. This gets fowarded to financialstatements.mrsdl.com which then delivers an HCP exploit and tries to encourage the user to download malware.

The download is called updateflash.exe (MD5 31EA43D448086974125E9904AB1BB3C5). Vendor detection is patchy with VirusTotal reporting just 20/43 products detecting it. ThreatExpert have a more detailed analysis here (useful if you are trying to disinfect a machine manually).

financialstatements.mrsdl.com is multihomed on several IP addresses, mostly cable modem customers in Spain for some reason:

71.217.16.172
84.123.147.172
84.124.179.183
84.126.255.46
85.86.48.130
85.219.28.52
178.139.18.243
212.225.172.73
218.216.37.66

Because of the wide range of IPs, blocking access to the entire mrsdl.com domain is probably easiest.

The HCP exploit is hosted on nookbizkitsad.com, hosted on 94.102.11.168 in Turkey. This IP has a whole load of malicious sites on it, blocking access to this IP is probably a good idea. The Wepawet report for this is here.

Sites hosted on in the first "mrsdl.com" cluster include:
code732546teh34.com

Rove Digital and Vladimir Tsastsin busted.

If you work in IT Security, you'll probably remember the names EstDomains and EstHost, part of a criminal organisation called Rove Digital headed by Vladimir Tsastsin (pictured).

Finally, the FBI and Estonia authorities have arrested Tsastsin and some of his associates, and have effectively ended one of the biggest organised crime rings around.

The good guys are no doubt celebrating that the online world is just a little bit safer today.. read more at Brian Krebs's blog.

Something evil on 95.163.66.209

There are a bunch of domains being used in injection attacks on 95.163.66.209 (Digital Network JSC, Russia). recently Armorize covered attacks using this particular site. The problem seems to be ongoing, and 95.163.66.209 is a good IP to block. In fact, blocking 95.163.64.0/19 is probably a good idea too as there are a whole load of nasties there too. Google is pretty damning:

Fake jobs: expoeurojob.com, newjobsineurope.com and thenewjobbs.com

Three new domains offering jobs which will actually turn out to be money laundering or reshipping stolen goods. This scam has been going on for years.

expoeurojob.com
newjobsineurope.com
thenewjobbs.com

The emails may appear to come "from" your own email address (here's why). The (probably fake) registrant details for this domain are:

    Francisco Getz
    Email: franciscogetz@yahoo.fr
    Organization: Francisco Getz
    Address: 43 rue Mazarine
    City: Paris
    State: Paris
    ZIP: 75002
    Country: FR
    Phone: +33.191282216

If you have any samples of spam using these domains, please consider sharing them in the Comments. Thanks!

Fake jobs: jobbslists.com, jobbsearcher.com, gbjobb.com and greecejobb.com

Yet more fake job offers, following on from this long-running scam. This time the following domains are in use to solicit replies:

jobbslists.com
jobbsearcher.com
gbjobb.com
greecejobb.com

The spam emails adveritising these may appear to come from your own email account (here's why). The "jobs" on offer are actually illegal activities such as money laundering.

For the record, the registrant details for those domains (which are almost definitely fake) are:

    Lorian Kern
    Email: loorjaan@yahoo.dk
    Organization: Lorian Kern
    Address: Sonderskovvej 22
    City: Lystrup

Some malware sites to block

These sites and IPs seem to be distributing some sort of Zeus variant. In this case users are being enticed to download a file called Fattura.zip (Italian for "invoice") which then contains an executable with the name Fattura.Doc_________________________________________________________________.exe (there are 65 underscores in the filename). That seems daft until you realise that all those underscores are designed to hide the .exe extension by making the filename so big that it is truncated.

At the moment, the malware (MD5 09886612d542e1b354aeda6a16f9ccf5)  is poorly detected (4/43 at VirusTotal). ThreatExpert's prognosis is here.

The back end is a big more interesting and gives a large number of IPs and domains to block if you want to be proactive about stopping this sort of thing.

The back end servers are primarly:
41.189.229.65 (Djibouti Telecom)
60.19.30.131 (China Unicom)
60.19.30.135 (China Unicom)
67.40.211.116 (Qwest Communications, Seattle)
71.217.16.11 (Qwest Communications, Seattle)
82.210.157.9 (Aster, Poland)
113.161.87.176 (VietNam Post and Telecom Corporation)
195.214.238.241 (Interphone, Ukraine)
202.199.160.107 (Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, China)
218.24.113.3 (China Unicom)

Scam sites on 84.22.161.169

84.22.161.169 (IOMART Ltd, UK) seems to have some problems with scam sites, such as the one mentioned in this post. I haven't had time to check the whole range, but most of the sites they host are legitimate, these however appear to be bogus.

The Register blunders, hands itself into the ICO

Oops.

From: The Register marketing@theregister.co.uk
Date: 24 October 2011 18:28
Subject: Apologies from The Register
       
Hello,

This morning the name and email address you used to register for The
Register was mistakenly sent to 3,521 individuals, also readers of
The Register.

We've contacted them asking them to delete the email and respect your
privacy.

We are of course terribly sorry for this error and have reported
ourselves to the ICO. Our initial statement is here:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/24/email_blunder/

You are free to edit or delete your account details here:

http://account.theregister.co.uk/register/

If you have any questions or would just like to rant at us please
send emails to mailto:data@theregister.co.uk


Best Regards
The Register

There's a couple of interesting things here - one is that The Register did the decent thing and reported the breach, it will be interesting to see the ICO's reaction when they ignore more serious breaches all the time. The second one is that the email address I used to err register is unique to The Register. Will I start getting spam as a result of it being sent out to 3521 people, or would it require more.

Anyway, Kudos to The Register for coming clean. You can read more about it here.

mailukrsoft.com: job scammers in action

A post over at woozoo.nl caught my eye (in Nederlands, Google Translated to English) about the netherlandjobb.com scam. Robert Krom goes several steps further than I usually do with a good investigation into how the scammers try to rope people in.

Robert identifies mailukrsoft.com  as the next stage in the scam. To me, it looks like it is run by a different crew, but scammers tend to oursource activities to others these days. It appears that one group of scammers may be looking for money mules and then selling them on to others.

Fake jobs: jobbworld.com and yourjobb.com

Two new domains being used to recruit for fake jobs, which actually turn out to be illegal activities such as money laundering.

jobbworld.com
yourjobb.com

This is part of a long-running scam that has been going on for ages. One characteristic of the spam received is that it appears to come from your own email address (here's why).

If you have any examples of spam using these domains for reply addresses, please consider sharing them in the Comments.

Fake jobs: canada-newjob.com, netherlandjobb.com and newjobrecruit.com

These domains form part of this long running scam. You may find that the emails appear to come from your own email address (here's why).

The domain registrant details are no doubt fake:

"Scan from a Hewlett-Packard Officejet 745065" and 94.23.116.30

These fake "Scan from a Hewlett-Packard Officejet" emails have been around for a little while now. Here's a slightly new verson:

From: hp@victimdomain.com
Date: 11 October 2011 23:41
Subject: Scan from a Hewlett-Packard Officejet 745065

Fake jobs: it-jobsearch.com

Another fake job domain, it-jobsearch.com follows on directly from these two reported yesterday. The domain is registered to the same fake address in France as yesterday.

As usual, the email soliciting replies to this domain is trying to recruit people for money laundering. The email may appear to come from your own email address (here's why).

If you have example emails soliciting replies to this domain, please consider sharing them in the Comments. Thanks!

Something evil on 66.197.235.245 (Exp/20100840-B)

There is currently a poorly detected (VirusTotal reports 1/43) Java exploit being distributed by 66.197.235.245 via injection attacks. One example is injected obfuscated code pointing to tualette.ce.ms/content/field.jar but there are probably lots of these. Currently only Sophos detects this as Exp/20100840-B.

Blocking all traffic to 66.197.235.245 is the quickest way to protect against this particular attack, it might be worth blocking 66.197.235.240/28 as in case this is a bad block.

The domains on 66.197.235.245 are a mix of crappy free domains, hijacked GoDaddy domains and a few others. I have identified the following sites, although I suspect there are many more:
