eFax spam / 173.255.223.77 and chase.swf

Two different eFax spam runs seem to be going on at the same time:

One leads to a malicious landing page at [donotclick]173.255.223.77/links/assure_numb_engineers.php hosted by Linode in the US.

The other one is a bit odder, referring to a file called chase.swf on a hacked site. VT analysis shows just 1/44 which is not good. That looks a bit like this:

{html}
{body}
{object width='255' height='57'}
 {param name='movie' value='infected.swf'} {/param}
 {param name='allowScriptAccess' value='sameDomain'} {/param}
 {embed width='255' height='57'
  src='hxxp:||[redacted].com/chase.swf' name='BridgeMovie'
  allowScriptAccess='sameDomain' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' }
 {/embed}
{/object}
{/body}
{/html}

Beats me what it is. Probably nothing good though...

ppinomore.com PPI SMS spam

These PPI spammers are at it again, this time promoting a website ppinomore.com.

URGENT you are owed £3350 for the PPI you took out, time is running out to claim, please visit www.ppinomore.com to claim, thank you. To opt out reply STOP.

The sending number is +447787446160 although this will change at they get blocked for spamming. If you have any more numbers, then please considered adding them in the Comments section.

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.

The thing with these spam PPI messages is that they are also a scam. I don't have any mis-sold PPI, so I'm not eligible for anything, but it seems that the spammers are encouraging you to make a fraudulent claim, which is a criminal offence.

So who is behind ppinomore.com? It has anonymous WHOIS details so no clue there. They claim their address is in Pakistan:
PPI-Today
586, Park Towers,
Block 26, P.E.C.H.S.,
Shahrah-e-Faisal,
Karachi

And they're not regulated by anyone..
ppinomore is a marketing agent. Our partners are regulated by the Ministry of Justice in respect of regulated claims management activities - their authorisation number is available on request and their registration is recorded on the Ministry of Justice website 

So who are their partners. Of note, the ppinomore.com site is hosted on 217.23.12.215 which is hosted by Worldstream in the Netherlands, but actually allocated to a scam/spam friendly outfit called YoHost . The following sites are on the same server:

antismsspam.com

Some of these look quite interesting.. they're also using SMS and PPI themed sites. Almost all the sites have anonymous WHOIS details.. apart from myppi.org that is..

John McNeish? So why is his email address gary@tetr.us then? Probably because this is really Gary McNeish who has been involved in offshore SMS spamming before.

So, is Gary McNeish responsible for the ppinomore.com SMS spam? It could just be a coincidence that a server stuffed with dodgy finance and marketing sites contains both a site belonging to Gary McNeish and these ppinomore.com scammers, after all there's no indication that this is actually Gary McNeish's server, just that he has a site on it.

Still, hopefully the recently announced ICO crackdown on SMS spammers might have a positive effect.

Update:
Here is another link between ppinomore.com and Gary McNeish's myppi.org - if you search for the text "ppinomore is a marketing agent. Our partners are regulated by the Ministry of Justice" on Google, it also appears on myppi.org:

Funnily enough, the content for myppi.org has changed to some search engine called "Yadoo" since it was indexed by Google. It must just be a coincidence that the ppinomore text appeared on Mr McNeish's site, yes?

The following numbers also seem to be in use for this spam:
+447867368703
+447780458447 

Please add any more in the comments, thanks!

Sophos: "Your phone number may not be as private on Facebook as you think - and how to fix it"

From Sophos.. another good reason not to use Facebook.

So, as well as leaking email addresses through a reverse lookup, Facebook also does a reverse lookup for telephone numbers. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, until somebody figures out how to write a script to harvest the phone numbers automatically, that is..

Added: oh look, somebody did it already.

Chase credit card spam / 2.cmisd.org

Another fake Chase credit card spam (like this one), this time leading to malware on 2.cmisd.org:

Date:      Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:21:48 -0500
From:      "Chase.Alert" [CB22FC0@abbottfire.com]
Subject:      Credit card report

This is an Alert to help you manage your credit card account.

As you requested, we are notifying you of any charges over the amount of ($USD) 200.00, as specified in your Alert settings. A charge of ($USD) 236.77 at Amazon Store has been authorized on Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:21:48 -0500.

Do not reply to this Alert.

To see all of the Alerts available to you, or to manage your Alert settings, please log on to www.Chase.com.

There are lots of variants, e.g.:

As you requested, we are notifying you of any charges over the amount of ($USD) 200.00, as specified in your Alert settings. A charge of ($USD) 989.65 at Google Store has been authorized on Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:18:13 -0500.

In this case the malicious payload is at [donotclick]2.cmisd.org/links/assure_numb_engineers.php hosted on 75.98.171.60 (A2 Hosting, US). Blocking access to that IP would probably be wise.

union-trans.com employment scam

This fake job offer is for a "forwarding agent". What is a forwarding agent? Well, basically it's a parcel reshipping scam where goods bought with stolen credit cards are sent to the "agent's" home address, and then the "agent" forwards to stolen goods on to Eastern Europe or China or whatever. Of course, when the police catch on it's the "agent" who is in deep, deep trouble.

The malicious payload is at [donotclick]minus.preciseenginewarehouse.com/links/assure_numb_engineers.php hosted on 174.140.165.112 (DirectSpace Networks, US) which also houses the following suspect domains:


minus.preciseenginewarehouse.com
minus.dirttrackwarehouse.com
minus.sprintwarehouse.com
two.scott-j.com
one.touveron.com
two.accent-bldrs.com

To be precise, the subdomains seem malicious, the domains themselves appear to be legitimate ones where the domain account has been hacked. Blocking 174.140.165.112 would be prudent.

Something evil on 66.45.251.224/29 and 199.71.233.226

The IP address 199.71.233.226 (Netrouting, US)  and the range 66.45.251.224/29 (Interserver, US) are currently being used to distribute malware through advertising. Of these the 66.45.251.224/29 has been suballocated to an anonymous person, which I didn't even know was permitted:

network:Class-Name:network
network:ID:NETBLK-INTSRV.66.45.224.0/19
network:Auth-Area:66.45.224.0/19
network:Network-Name:INTSRV-66.45.251.224
network:IP-Network:66.45.251.224/29
network:Org-Name:Private Customer
network:Street-Address:Private Residence
network:City:Moscow
network:State:77
network:Postal-Code:119192
network:Country-Code:US
network:Created:20120701
network:Updated:20120816
network:Updated-By:abuse@interserver.net

The domains listed below are on those IP addresses, all appear to be disributing malware (see example) and they seem to have fake or anonymous WHOIS details. Blocking traffic to 66.45.251.224/29 (66.45.251.224 - 66.45.251.231) and 199.71.233.226 should be effective in countering this threat.

Update:  95.211.193.36 (Leaseweb, Netherlands) and 77.95.230.77 (Snel Internet Services, Netherlands) may also be distributing malware in connection with this (report here).

Update 2:  Another IP in this cluster is 96.44.139.218 (OC3 networks, US), running malicious ads using the domain perclickbank.org (scroll down for more information)
