Unless you chose a next day or other premium delivery service option, then in most cases your order will arrive within 1-3 days. If we despatched your order via Letterpost, it may take a little longer.

***Please note that your order may have shipped in separate boxes and this means that separate consignment numbers may be applicable***

We've despatched...

..using the attached shipment details...

Something evil on 74.91.117.50

OK, I can see just two malicious domains on 74.91.117.50 but they are currently spreading an exploit kit through this spam run.

The domain is allocated to Nuclear Fallout Enterprises who often seem to host malware sites like this, so there's a good chance that more evil will turn up on this IP.

These are the domains that I can see right now:
13.blumotorada.net
13.carnovirious.net

The domains are registered wit these apparently fake details:
Glen Drobney office@glenarrinera.com
1118 hagler dr
neptune bch
FL
32266
US
Phone: +1.9044019773

Since there will almost definitely be more malicious domains coming up on this IP, it is well worth blocking.

Something evil on 109.123.66.30

109.123.66.30 (UK2.NET, UK) hosts several domains containing the Blackhole Exploit Kit (example here). The domains in user are (mostly) legitimate hacked domains, but there are a couple of odd things here.

Most of the malicious domains have a format like this: 700ff4ad03c655cb11919113011611137102708d4fb6daf0e74bea4aa5e8f9f.darkhands.com - in this case darkhands.com is a legitimate domain registered to an individual in Australia, but it has been hacked to create a who load of malicious subdomains, hosted on another server from www.darkhands.com.

In fact, almost all the domains are registered to Australians, but the key thing is in that all of those cases the main domains are hosted by OrionVM in Australia, with the main domains hosted in the 49.156.18.0/24 block. Update: it seems that a single customer was compromised and the OrionVM issue has been resolved.

So how can the main (legitimate) sites be hosted in 49.156.18.0/24, but the malicious subdomains are hosted on a completely different network in the UK. I suspect that there is a compromise of some sort at OrionVM which has allowed the DNS records to be change (it should be noted that these domains used several different registrars).

Another oddity is that these hijacked domains only go from A to I alphabetically, which indicates that there might be some other malicious servers in this same group. The domains are:

00.co.kr
07drama.com
1001mg.com
1sim.net
20cargo.com
2ndi.com
2seul.net
3gendata.co.kr
atomthecreators.com
bodaguatemala.com
ciudaddelangel.com
colmodasa.com
ctsau.com
cyberdyne.net.au
dafconstructions.com
darkhands.com
deanmathers.com

giftsbiweb.com.au
goddessmassage.com.au
goldcoastnorth.org.au
goldcoastpacifictours.com.au
greyfoxjumps.com
grubisaguitars.com
img.or.kr

Also hosted on 109.123.66.30 are some malicious .in domains that were previously on 87.229.26.138 (see here):
gguwvn.in
gmvgyx.in
humswz.in
jlqrnp.in
krvrkh.in
lupszm.in
nwujgl.in
onylkp.in
pmkvyh.in
sirrpk.in
tmthzz.in
ukokqz.in
ymjjjm.in
yxrkyu.in
zjmnwv.in
znztip.in
zpjhjv.in

It looks like there are some legitimate sites on the same server, but blocking 109.123.66.30 is probably a good idea.

As for those subdomains I wrote about, well here are some examples (there are probably many more!)

Cheeky exploit kit on avirasecureserver.com

What is avirasecureserver.com? Well, it's not Avira that's for sure.. it is in fact a server for the Blackhole Exploit Kit.

This site is hosted on 82.145.57.3, an Iomart / Rapidswitch IP that appears to have been reallocated to:
person:         Dimitar Kolev
address:        QHoster Ltd
address:        Apt 1859
address:        Chynoweth House
address:        Trevissome Park
address:        Truro
address:        TR4 8UN
address:        GB
phone:          +13232180069
abuse-mailbox:  abuse@qhoster.com
nic-hdl:        DK5560-RIPE
mnt-by:         RAPIDSWITCH-MNT
source:         RIPE # Filtered

Trevissome Park is a small business park in Cornwall, there certainly isn't a building with over 1000 apartments there, so we can assume that "Apt" is a euphemism for a post box. There's also no company in the UK called QHoster Ltd. In fact, if we check the QHoster.com domain we can see that it is a Bulgarian firm:

    QHoster Ltd.
    Dimitar Kolev        (domains@qhoster.net)
    27 Nikola D. Petkov Str.
    Sevlievo
    Gabrovo,5400
    BG
    Tel. +359.898547122
    Fax. +359.67535954

QHoster has an IP block of 82.145.57.0/25 suballocated to it. A quick poke around indicates not much of value in this range, you may want to consider blocking the /25 as a precaution.

Kenyan Judiciary (judiciary.go.ke) hacked to serve malware

The Judiciary of the Republic of Kenya has a mission to deliver justice fairly, impartially and expeditiously, promote equal access to justice, and advance local jurispudence by upholding the rule of law. Unfortunately, it has also been hacked to serve up malware.

The site has been compromised to serve up an exploit kit being promoted by spam email. There's a redirector at [donotclick]www.judiciary.go.ke/wlc.htm attempting to redirect visitors to [donotclick]dfudont.ru:8080/forum/links/column.php where there's a nasty exploit kit.

Of course, most visitors to the judiciary.go.ke site won't see that particular exploit. But if someone can create an arbitrary HTML page on that server, then they pretty much have the run of the whole thing and they can do what they like. So the question might be.. what else has been compromised? Hmm.

"A.R.T. Logistics" fake job offer

There may be various genuine companies in the world with a name similar to "A.R.T. Logistics Industrial & Trading Ltd", but this job offer does not come from a genuine company. Instead it is trying to recruit people for money laundering ("money mule") jobs and parcel reshipping scams (a way of laundering stolen goods). Note that the scammers aren't even consistent in the way they name the company.
