ADP spam / 048575623_02082013.zip

This fake ADP spam comes with a malicious attachment:

From:      "ops_invoice@adp.com" [ops_invoice@adp.com]

Thank you for choosing ADP Payroll.

Important: Please do not respond to this message. It comes from an unattended mailbox.

In this case there was a ZIP file called 048575623_02082013.zip (this may vary) with an attachment 048575623_02082013.exe designed to look like a PDF file.

VirusTotal identifies it as a Zbot variant. According to ThreatExpert, the malware attempts to connect to the following hosts:

eyon-neos.eu
quest.social-neos.eu
social-neos.eu

These may be legitimate hacked domains, but if you are seeing unexpected traffic going to them then it could be a Zbot indicator.

MMuskatov / OVH malware sites to block

I've mentioned an OVH range of IPs allocated to a mystery  "MMuskatov" a couple of times before (here and here). It seemed like they needed a closer look.

The IP ranges are in the 5.135.67.x block, mostly in small /28 allocations hosted in different OVH datacentres in Europe. They are:
5.135.67.128 - 5.135.67.135
5.135.67.136 - 5.135.67.143
5.135.67.144 - 5.135.67.159
5.135.67.160 - 5.135.67.175
5.135.67.176 - 5.135.67.191
5.135.67.192 - 5.135.67.207
5.135.67.208 - 5.135.67.223
5.135.67.224 - 5.135.67.239
5.135.67.240 - 5.135.67.247

Obviously, that gives an contiguous block of 5.135.67.128 to 5.135.67.247 which is annoying difficult to express in CIDR notation. This is the best I can do:
5.135.67.128/26
5.135.67.192/27
5.135.67.224/28
5.135.67.240/29

If you don't mind a bit of collateral damage then you could simply block 5.135.67.128/25.I

Anyway.. what's so bad about this range? Well, as far as I can see, there are no legitimate sites here at all. But there do appear to be malware sites, suspicious subdomains of hijacked legitimate sites and other nasties. Quite a few have been registered very recently indeed, and to be honest I'm probably missing a lot of sites hosted in this range.

The sites are listed below. Sites listed as malware by Google are listed in  red , sites with a bad WOT rating are listed in  blue (there are no sites listed at both, so I can spare you from purple). You can safely assume that anything not blacklisted has just not been noticed yet. You can download a full list of the sites, IP addresses, WOT rating and the Google prognosis from here.

radarsky.biz and something evil on 5.135.67.160/28

There is currently an injection attack redirecting visitors to a domains radarsky.biz (for example) hosted on 5.135.67.173 (OVH) and suballocated to:

inetnum:        5.135.67.160 - 5.135.67.175
netname:        MMuskatov-FI
descr:          MMuskatov
country:        FI
org:            ORG-OH6-RIPE
admin-c:        OTC15-RIPE
tech-c:         OTC15-RIPE
status:         ASSIGNED PA
mnt-by:         OVH-MNT
source:         RIPE # Filtered

 "MMuskatov" was involved in this attack too, and a quick inspection of 5.135.67.160/28 doesn't look promising, you might want to block it and 5.135.67.144/28 and 5.135.67.192/28 as well. A deeper analysis is in progress.

+20 3 2983245 telepest

For some reason I've been plagued with cold calling telepests recently. This particular one (+20 3 2983245) offered the usual "press 5 to be ripped off" and "press 9 to try to unsubscribe which we will ignore" recorded message about claiming for an accident.

There was a very politely spoken and nice young man on the end of the phone. He seemed a bit perplexed and upset when I told him to f--k off and leave me alone. Good.

I don't know exactly who is behind this nuisance activity, but they were calling a TPS-registered phone from a number in Alexandria, Egypt. Offshoring fraudulent activity like this is quite common, but this is the first time that I've had to swear at an Egyptian. Perhaps the poor guy will consider doing something less scummy instead.

Update: unbelievably, they rang back again. This time I had a chat with another guy, and we had a discussion about my horrible industrial accident when my penis got caught in the shredder at work . There was blood everywhere, it was a real shocker for the other people in the office too. I asked where he was calling from, and he said Cambridge.. so I replied that it was odd that it appeared to be a number from Alexandria, and that he was a lying scumbag and please could he f--k off and never call me again. Oddly enough, he hung up.

I've seen another variant with a reply address of Delores@inukjob.com. In all these cases, the email appears to come from the victim (here's why). Let's dig a little deeper into the domain. It turns out that it is registered by scam-friendly Chinese registrar BIZCN.COM.

The WHOIS details are fake:

   Tara Zwilling info@inukjob.com
   315-362-4562 fax: 315-362-4511
   3201 Oak Street
   Syracuse NY 13221
   us

There is no number 3201 Oak Street in Syracuse, New York (see for yourself) and the Zip code is incorrect, it should be 13203 and not 13221.

There's no web site, mail is handled by a server at 31.214.169.94 (Exetel, Germany).  The following mailservers can be found at that IP:

mx.ineurojob.com
mx.hollandsjob.com
mx.inukjob.com

You can assume that all these domains are fraudulent. If we dig a little deeper at the namesevers ns1.ariparts.net (also on 31.214.169.94) and ns2.ariparts.net (8.163.20.161, Level 3, US), then we can also find the following very dodgy domains:

hollandsjob.com
pracapolsk.com
ariparts.net
ineurojob.com

All these domains have fake or hidden registration details and can assume to be part of a scam. Avoid.

01530 561700: PPI refund cold callers are also PPI mis-sellers

Quick version:  01530 561700 is a PPI claims company trading as ABC Claims Management, but the people involved have been directors of a firm fined for PPI mis-selling. If you really want to wind them up, say you were mis-sold PPI by a firm called Hadenglen.

Long version:
PPI refund cold callers are annoying, and are almost always dishonest scumbags who claim that you are eligible for a PPI refund, but in fact they have no idea about who you are and nor do they have access to your financial records.

But there's more to the folks calling from 01530 561700 than meets the eye. The claims management company calling from this number is called ABC Claims Management (abc-inc.co.uk) who quote an address of:

York House
Smisby Road
Ashby de la Zouch
Leicestershire
LE65 2UG

A look at the WHOIS details give a nearby address:
Domain name:
        abc-inc.co.uk

    Registrant:
        HADENGLEN PLC

    Registrant type:
        Unknown

    Registrant's address:
        Hadenglen House Marlborough Square
        Leicestershire
        COALVILLE
        LE67 3WD
        United Kingdom

They list the owner as Hadenglen plc. Unlike many PPI claims firms, Hadenglen knows all about PPI.. because it and its boss were fined £182,000 in 2007  for PPI mis-selling. Hadenglen is no longer authorised to sell mortgages and there is a proposal to strike it off the register at Companies House.

The telephone number is closely associated with Hadenglen, both ABC and Hadenglen share the same address of:
SMISBY ROAD
ASHBY DE LA ZOUCH
LEICS
LE65 2UG
..and of course, Hadenglen registered the domain name.

Of course, the real gotcha is that two of the directors of ABC Incorporation Ltd are Paul Butler and Richard Hayes who were both directors of.. you guessed it.. Hadenglen. Indeed, Mr Hayes was fined £49,000 for his part in the Hadenglen PPI mis-selling.

You could argue that poachers make the best gamekeepers, and the directors of a firm that was involved in PPI mis-selling might be the best people to make a claim. Or you might think otherwise. But why pay someone to do it (which could be thousands of pounds) when you can do it for free?

Update:  the scammers from ABC rang me again, and the woman calling identified the company but said she had never heard of her directors of Hadenglen.. which I very much doubt. I advised her to fuck off and leave me alone.
