NACHA Spam / 85.25.189.174

Another NACHA spam, leading to malware on 85.25.189.174:

From:     CarleySpan@hotmail.com
Date:     19 April 2012 21:25
Subject:     Your ACH transaction N73848938

The ACH credit transfer, initiated from your checking acc., was canceled by the other financial institution.

Canceled transaction:

Transaction ID: A7635857812UA
ACH Report: View

LINDSEY Zimmerman
NACHA - The Electronic Payment Association 


The malicious payload is on 85.25.189.174/showthread.php?t=34c79594e8b8ac0f hosted by Intergenia / PlusServer in Germany. Avoid.

New Blogger interface: It's all too horrible to contemplate.

If you use Blogger, you'll know that it has a new interface. It's horrible. OK, the old interface was horrible but usable at the same time. This is just horrible, with the familiar looking elements seeming sprinkled at random over the new interface.

There are a lot of companies at the moment doing a similar thing.. making over their tried and tested (but tired) old software interfaces and coming up with something pastel-ly and awful. Or perhaps I'm just a Luddite?


Update: you can share your feedback on the Blogger forum which is full of similar complaints.

LinkedIn spam / mysalepharmacy.com

Here's a very convincing looking LinkedIn spam:

There are three hyperlinks in the message, two of them are to LinkedIn and one of them is to a fake pharma site on mysalepharmacy.com on 178.19.108.195 in Poland.

Personally, I hate LinkedIn emails. Blocking everything that appears to be from linkedin.com will not have any adverse impact on your life.

These IPs seem pretty consistent at the moment, blocking them should offer some degree of protection.

"Scan from a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet" spam 6/4/12

Another fake HP scan spam email leading to malware. This one follows the new technique of putting a malicious HTML (HP_Scan.htm) file inside a ZIP file to reduce the risk of it being blocked, and then it has multiple payload sites to try to get a higher infection rate. Nasty.

..the IP address can also be found in this attack.

A Wepawet report can be found here.  Anti-virus detection is pretty poor at the moment.

The bad guys certainly seem to have found a way to bring more machines into contact with this malware. Take care!
