Something evil on 194.28.115.150 and lasimp04risoned.rr.nu

The following domains appear to be part of an ongoing injection attack (using lasimp04risoned.rr.nu at present). They are hosted by black-hat web host Specialist ISP in Transnistria. Block the IP range of 194.28.112.0 - 194.28.115.255 (194.28.112.0/22) is a very good idea as this is one of the worst netblocks I know of.

"Hi, we think you may be entitled to compensation.." SMS spam

The PPI claim spammers are back again, this time using the throwaway number of +447969662555

Hi, we think you may be entitled to compensation of up to £3500 from missold PPI on a credit card or loan.
Reply PPI for more info
Reply STOP to opt out

Obviously they think nothing of the sort and are just randomly spamming, even to mobile phone numbers registered with TPS. Given that their pitch is based on a lie, it's likely that the whole outfit it some sort of scam in any case.

If you get one of these, you should forward the spam and the sender's number to your carrier. In the came of T-Mobile, O2 and Orange the number to report to is 7726 ("SPAM"). Vodafone customers should use 87726 ("VSPAM") and Three customers should use 37726 ("3SPAM"). Hopefully the carriers will act if there are enough complaints.

Facebook "Error message [404] 404 Not Found" email messages

This one has me scratching my head.. a series of emails this morning with subjects similar to the following:

Error message [404] 404 Not Found for m.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.[redacted].8100.100000762125833
Error message [404] 404 Not Found for m.facebook.com/pokes/?refid=7
Error message [404] 404 Not Found for m.facebook.com/home.php?sk=photodash

The emails appear to originate from a Yahoo! IP address, the sender's email address matches a registered Facebook account and in one case the URL in the subject links to a gallery from the same user. But I don't know who these people are, and the email address sent to is a rarely used one that has NEVER been used for Facebook.

In most cases the email is blank, in one case there is a photograph of a BlackBerry, apparently taken yesterday from a Samsung GT-C6625 (an oldish Windows Mobile device). The IP headers indicate that this is maybe coming through a mobile version of Yahoo! mail. An infected mobile phone perhaps?

It's all kind of odd, perhaps it is the precursor to something else?
