NACHA Spam / badthen.com

More NACHA spam, this time leading to a malicious payload on badthen.com. Stupidly (again) the NACHA email appears to come from linkedin.com.

The "pictures" link loads the malicious script, hosted at black hat hosts Digital Network JSC aka DINETHOSTING in Russia. Avoid.

Good morning,

The malicious payload is on csredret.ru/main.php hosted on 79.137.237.67 (Digital Network JSC, Russia aka DINETHOSTING). For about the billionth time in the past few days.. block access to 79.137.224.0/20 on your network if you possibly can.

NACHA Spam / sadjumped.com / downloaddatafast.serveftp.com

serveftp.com is related to no-ip.com, if you block that domain then you should probably block serveftp.com as well. Blocking 173.230.137.34 would protect against any other malicious sites on the same server.

Update: another spam run is in progress using a domain sadjumped.com on the same server.

BBB Spam / wonderfulyard.com

The BBB spam is doing the rounds yet again, this time leading to a malicious payload at wonderfulyard.com/main.php?page=111d937ec38dd17e hosted on 81.17.140.161 (Velton.telecom, Ukraine).

Blocking access to that IP address is probably a good idea, I can't vouch for the /24 that it is in though, but you may want to block that too to be on the safe side.

Malware spam: "Have you seen how much money has Cameron spent on his new movie?"

Here's a terse spam, leading to a malicious payload on cpredret.ru/main.php

From: AlfredoMejiaGXInOZ@aol.com
Date: 13 December 2011 04:20
Subject: I’m shocked!
   
Have you seen how much money has Cameron spent on his new movie?
What a graphics, check out the trailer!

Apparently, it refers to James Cameron and not David Cameron. Payload site is hosted on 79.137.237.67 which is the now infamous Digital Network JSC in Russia (aka DINETHOSTING). Blocking 79.137.224.0/20 would be good for your health.

Evil network: UkrStar ISP / UKRSTAR-NET AS43473 (91.195.10.0/23)

I've seen a lot of 91.195.10.0/23 in recent days, a range of addresses belonging to UkrStar ISP in the Ukraine. It's a sparsely occupied block, but there appear to be no legitimate sites here and blocking the whole lot could save you some grief.

Evil network revisited: Specialist Ltd / Specialist-ISP-PI2 AS48691(194.28.112.0/22)

Specialist Ltd is a small Black Hat hosting company in Transnistria, a breakaway part of the former Soviet Republic of Moldavia. No UN members recognise Transnistria, and effectively it sits beyond the reach of international law enforcement. Quite a handy place for criminals to do business then.

I first wrote about this block last year, but it recently came into my sights again as the host for a very widespread injection attack using the lilupophilupop.com domain.

Since last year the number of malicious sites has dropped, but there is still not a legitimate site in sight. Most of the bad sites are currently on 194.28.114.102 but you should block access to 194.28.112.0/22 (194.28.112.0 - 194.28.115.255) if you can, because this range of IP addresses is nothing but trouble.

A list of sites hosted in this range is at the end of this post, or you can download a CSV with the MyWOT ratings and IP addresses from here.

Google's prognosis of this block is pretty horrible:

Safe Browsing
Diagnostic page for AS48691 (SPECIALIST)

What happened when Google visited sites hosted on this network?

    Of the 44 site(s) we tested on this network over the past 90 days, 1 site(s), including, for example, rthur87seeks.rr.nu/, served content that resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent.

    The last time Google tested a site on this network was on 2011-12-12, and the last time suspicious content was found was on 2011-12-12.

Has this network hosted sites acting as intermediaries for further malware distribution?

    Over the past 90 days, we found 15 site(s) on this network, including, for example, lilupophilupop.com/, sweepstakesandcontestsinfo.com/, sweepstakesandcontestsnow.com/, that appeared to function as intermediaries for the infection of 190 other site(s) including, for example, teas.com.au/, rogersplus.ca/, cicomra.org.ar/.

Has this network hosted sites that have distributed malware?

    Yes, this network has hosted sites that have distributed malicious software in the past 90 days. We found 30 site(s), including, for example, lilupophilupop.com/, sweepstakesandcontestsinfo.com/, sweepstakesandcontestsnow.com/, that infected 2524 other site(s), including, for example, jri.ir/, psu.ac.th/, longoservice.it/.

This link goes via a couple of legitimate hacked sites to a payload site at lazysit.net/main.php?page=abfd0d069b45c17e on 174.140.163.118. The IP address looks like it might be a legitimate but hacked server, blocking the IP address rather than the domain should block any other malicious sites on the same server.

coredret.ru is hosted on 91.195.11.41 (UkrStar ISP, Ukraine). 91.195.10.0/23 is very sparsely populated, so blocking access to it should cause no problems.

BBB Spam / combijump.com / combimyself.com / combigave.com

A new version of yesterday's spam, this current crop of "BBB Complaint" emails lead to a malicious payload on combijump.com on 46.45.137.206. combimyself.com and combigave.com is on the same server and can also be assumed to be malicious.

VirusTotal detection on the target page is poor. 46.45.137.206 is on a Turkish network called Safya Net, I cannot vouch for its reputation however and it might be worth blocking the /24.

The link goes through a legitimate hacked site to a malicious payload on ciredret.ru/main.php, hosted on 79.137.237.63. Unsuprisingly this is Digital Network JSC in Moscow (aka DINETHOSTING) who are involved in much of the recent malware spam runs. Blocking 79.137.224.0/20 is highly recommended.

Update 23/12/11: Another pizza malware run, this time leading to cgredret.ru hosted on 79.137.237.68 , no surprise to find that it is Digital Network JSC again..

Malware: BBB "Complaint from your customers" and billycharge.com

Another day, another spam campaign leading to the Blackhole Exploit Kit.

A link in the email goes to a legitimate but hacked site, users are forwarded to billycharge.com on 79.137.237.63. This IP is on Digital Networks CJSC in Russia (aka DINETHOSTING), a wholly black hat operation - you should block access to 79.137.224.0/20 if you haven't already done so. The Wepawet report is here , VT shows 0/43 detections for the exploit page although the download malware should tickle at least some scanners.

"Epidemic in Guinea" spam / curedret.ru

An interesting twist on malware spam:

Date:      Tue, 6 Dec 2011 10:19:25 +0530
From:      "MARIE Grover" [victimname@hotmail.com]
Subject:      Re: Epidemic in Guinea

The government is hiding this fact, but there is a new epidemic in Guinea

I got to know it from friends of mine, they are there right now. Here you can find the instruction what to do not get infected

Read it! 

Perhaps the spammers have a sense of irony, because if you click the link you get directed to a legitimate but hacked site and then bounced to curedret.ru on 79.137.237.63 which attempts to load the Blackhole Exploit kit. This belongs to Digital Networks CJSC (aka DINETHOSTING) in Russia.. blocking the entire 79.137.224.0/20 range is probably a very good idea as this block is full of malicious sites. The Wepawet report for this page is here.

There are a whole bunch of these c*redret.ru sites, at the moment the following are active on this IP address:

crredret.ru
ctredret.ru
