Oddly, 84.22.127.43 doesn't seem to be registered at RIPE. No matter, we know who the owner of 84.22.127.0 is:

It's our old friends Cyberbunker again, who have registered the block with fake details. How RIPE lets them get away with this I don't know. If you can, I recommend blocking the entire 84.22.96.0/19 range as almost everything here is pretty seedy. You can read more about Cyberbunker's very dark grey hat activities over at Wikipedia if you want more information.

SMS Spam: "Records passed to us show you're entitled to a refund approximately £2130"

More SMS spam from.. well, I think the ICO will shortly reveal who. It's not just a spam, but it's also a scam because the spammers are attempting to persuade you to make fraudulent claims. Not everyone is eligible for a PPI refund, and I'm certainly not.. no "records" exist, it's just a scammy sales pitch. Avoid.

Records passed to us show you're entitled to a refund approximately £2130 in compensation from mis-selling of PPI on your credit card or loan.Reply INFO or stop

In this case, the sender's number is +447585858897, although it will change as it gets blocked by the networks.

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.

Fake statistics domains lead to malware

The following fake "statistics" domains lead to malware. All have been registered very recently in the past few days and are used as a redirector to other exploit kits. Perhaps they are actually performing black hat statistical tracking. Blocking them (or the associated IPs) would be wise.

Finally, this long list (too long to post here) contains other detected domains on the same IP. Frankly, blocking the IP address is the most easy option.. there are actually more domains than listed here and some are duplicated, but it's the best I could do at the moment.

Many of these domains show as evil in Google's Safe Browsing Diagnostics (example) and I can file zero legitimate domains on this IP.

This fake job offer from "reedcouk.com" is trying to recruit people for money laundering or other criminal activities, it is not from the real reed.co.uk. However, part of the infrastructure supporting this scam appears to belong the the US military.

The spam appears to come "from" the recipients own email address (here's why). The bogus domain reedcouk.com is registered as follows:

   Lavern E. Davis
   Lavern Davis info@reedcouk.com
   816-680-7849 fax: 816-680-7331
   4218 White Oak Drive
   Strasburg MO 64090
   us

The domain was registered on 30th October 2012 (today!) via BIZCN.COM, a crime-friendly domain registrar in China. Mail for this domain is handled by a server at 46.249.46.161 (Serverius, Netherlands) which is also ns1.zupyx.net, one of the nameservers for the fake reedcouk.com domain. Who owns zupyx.net? That looks like another fake registration:

      Vivian L Resnick
      221 Shaker Road
      Northfield, NH 03276-4444
      US
      Phone: +1.6032868211
      Email: clinicadelta@aol.com

zupyx.net was only registered on 19th September 2012. But the plot thickens if we look at ns2.zupyx.net (the other namesever being used by reedcouk.com) we can see that it is hosted on 132.79.132.67 which appears to be a hacked US military server at Fort Huachuca:

NetRange:       132.79.0.0 - 132.79.255.255

You have to bear in mind that this military installation deals with military intelligence.. although you can be pretty certain that whatever server is running this bogus nameserver is public facing only. Hopefully.

This IP address also hosts a suspicious domain called trabalharpt.com:

   Samantha K. Haley
   Samantha Haley info@trabalharpt.com
   +1.8127473193 fax: +1.8127473193
   778 Heliport Loop
   Blue Ash IN 45242
   us

Again, this is registered through BIZCN.COM in China, and was only registered one week ago on 24th October 2012. There's no reason for a domain like this to be hosted on what appears to be a US military server.

There are probably some other bad domains being supported by these nameservers, but I haven't been able to identify them yet.

Hi,
I have attached your photos to the mail (Open with Internet Explorer).

In this case there is an attachment called Image_DIG691233.htm that leads to a malware laden page at [donotclick]manekenppa.ru:8080/forum/links/column.php hosted on some familiar looking IPs:

203.80.16.81 (MYREN, Malaysia)
209.51.221.247 (eNet, US)

We've seen these IPs before and they are well worth blocking.

apl.de.ap spam

I'm not really a fan of the Black Eyed Peas, so I'd never heard of apl.de.ap until I received this spam. I'm pretty sure that Mr ap isn't sending these out himself, but they're coming from a spammer in the UAE, a place which seems to be the spam capital of the middle east.

Although those look like tinyurl links, they're not.. they go through a redirector at ykadl.net on 109.236.88.71, the same IP used to send the spam.

The WHOIS details for the spammer domain are:

Technical Name:                Domain Admin
Technical Company:        Create-Send.net
Technical Address:        57 Kingsway Avenue
Technical Address:        Auckland
Technical Address:       
Technical Address:        Auckland

Technical Address:        1010
Technical Address:        New Zealand
Technical Email:        info@create-send.net

Anyway, here's the spam in case you really want to buy tickets from a shady bunch of spammers..
