NACHA Spam / cgredret.ru

More NACHA spam, this time pointing to cgredret.ru (which we've seen before) which delivers a malicious payload.

cgredret.ru has moved since yesterday and is now on 79.137.237.68. Unsurprisingly, it is now on Digital Network JSC in Russia (aka DINETHOSTING). Block access to 79.137.224.0/20 if you can.

"Hello! Look, I've received an unfamiliar bill.." / cgredret.ru

The spam tsunami continues, this one is a reworking of one seen last month, but with a new payload site.

Hello! Look, I've received an unfamiliar bill, have you ordered anything?
Here is the bill

Please reply as soon as possible, because the amount is large and they demand the payment urgently.

Looking forward to your answer

The malicious payload is on cgredret.ru which I catalogued yesterday (although it didn't have an IP address then). The IP is now 206.72.207.156 (Interserver Inc, USA) along with some other malicious sites. Block the IP rather than the domain if you can.

*redirect.ru sites to block

These are another part of the "redret" series of malware sites being promoted by spam, and are worth blocking proactively.

BBB Spam / curvechirp.com

Yet more BBB spam, this time with a different malicious domain - curvechirp.com, hosted on 184.171.248.47 at TMZHosting LLC, Florida. This range is suballocated from Hostdime and has been seen a few days ago with another attack, so blocking all access to 184.171.248.32/27 is probably prudent.

Payload page is at curvechirp.com/main.php?page=111d937ec38dd17e, at the moment the page is not responding (possibly due to being overloaded as it looks like a cheap VPS).

Here are some samples:

BBB Spam / curcandle.net

Yet more BBB themed malware spam this morning, bouncing through a couple of hacked servers to a malicious payload on curcandle.net (174.136.1.223, Colo4Dallas). Blocking access to the IP will also block any other evil domains on the same server.

The payload is on curcandle.net/main.php?page=111d937ec38dd17e although right at the moment it is 404ing. However, the spam run is just 30 minutes old so perhaps it is still under construction.

By this message we would like to inform you about the latest amendments in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage rules. During the period from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012 all funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are provided with a full insurance coverage by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Please note, that this arrangement is temporary and separate from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's basic insurance rules.

The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" implies a usual checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. For more information about this temporary FDIC unlimited coverage, please refer to: http://iimtstudies.com/e3f4e0/index.html

careermanagement.com.ua is a Ukrainian domain, it is hosted on 85.121.39.3, which is a known black-hat host in Romania (Monyson Grup S.A), although as we said before this appears to be an Australian crew running the scam. The layout of the site echoes careerquickstaffing.com, a site that has already been suspended for spamming.

NACHA Spam/ ragsnip.com

Yet another round of fake NACHA spam leading to malware is doing the rounds, this time the payload is on ragsnip.com/main.php?page=111d937ec38dd17e hosted on 207.210.96.226 (Global Net Access LLC, Atlanta). Blocking access to the IP is preferable to the domain as there may be other malicious domains on the same server.

There may be other bad domains on that server, so blocking access to the IP is the safest approach.

NACHA Spam / evrymonthnighttry.com and glasseseverydaynow.com

More NACHA themed spam this morning that redirects victims through a hacked legitimate site to a malware laden page, this time hosted on evrymonthnighttry.com or glasseseverydaynow.com.

These sites are hosted on 46.183.217.119 (Dataclub, Latvia). I can't see anything at all of value in 46.183.216.0/21 so blocking access to all of that range might be prudent.

It also attempts to load an exploit from a site called bbb-complains.org which is not resolving at present.
