The attachment is in the format Loan.recipient-name.zip and contains the executable Loan_08082013.exe (note the date is encoded into the filename).

The initial file is just a trojan downloader. VirusTotal results are 10/45. The Malwr analysis gives some excellent details of what is going in, included attempted downloads from the following locations:
[donotclick]www.arki.com/ponyb/gate.php

[donotclick]www.gfchargers.org/iwa4s1.exe
[donotclick]ftp.jason-tooling.com/nhdx.exe
[donotclick]www.rachelcondry.com/nLiZVHtr.exe

This downloads a Zeus variant with a very low detection rate of 4/45. The Malwr analysis for this part shows some apparent peer-to-peer traffic (note some of these IPs are legitimate and belong to Google):

The email looks pretty convincing:

Clicking on the links in the email takes you to a legitimate hacked site and then on to a malware landing page at [donotclick]www.tigerdirect.com.secure.orderlogin.asp.palmer-ford.net/news/tiger-direct.php (report here) which contains an exploit kit.

Although it looks a bit like the link is actually on the tigerdirect.com site, it is actually hosted on the recently registered domain palmer-ford.net which has characteristically fake WHOIS details that mark it out as belonging to the Amerika gang.

Torsploit: is 65.222.202.53 the NSA?

There has been a lot of chatter in the past day or so about the takedown of an Irish outfit called Freedom Hosting which hosted a number of "hidden services" on Tor, ranging from Tormail (which allows anonymous email communication) to.. well, Really Bad Stuff that you don't want to know about. Basically.. Law Enforcement (LE) appear to have discovered the real-world location of these servers on the other side of Tor and have busted the alleged operator.

What gets interesting is that some of these Tor services were infected with an injection script that attempted to reveal the real IP address of the the visitor through a security flaw in the version of Firefox in the Tor Bundle. There's an interesting analysis of the script here and the long and the short of it is that the injected code attempt to call back to 65.222.202.53, in order to track the Tor users involved.

So.. who is 65.222.202.53? Well, it seems to be a Verizon Business IP (part of a "ghost block" of 65.222.202.48/29) in the Washington DC area. You know.. the home of several government agencies or branches thereof. But now the Internet is awash with rumours that this IP address belongs to the NSA. But what evidence is there?

A lot of the fuss seems to have happened because of this tweet from Baneki Privacy Labs.

What Baneki are saying is that the whole 65.222.202.0/24 block (the "C block" in classful parlance) is owned by a government contractor called SAIC (apparently not the SAIC who own MG Motors!) and that SAIC are connected to the DoD. Although SAIC are certainly a military contractor, the error that they are making is to believe the report from DomainTools which appears to be misinterpreting the allocations in that particular block.

So, does SAIC (listed here as SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INT) own the whole /24? No. Verizon has simply allocated the first /28 in that block to SAIC, and it appears the DomainTools is misinterpreting that data.

Other suballocations is that block do include government agencies, but just a couple of IPs away from the mystery IP is 65.222.202.56/29 which belongs to an industrial supply company called Universal Machines. Whoever uses 65.222.202.53 is very likely to be a corporate or government entity, but really that's pretty much all you can tell from the Verizon Business IP. DomainTools is great but as with any automated tool.. sometimes you need to double-check what it reports back.

But then Baneki make another claim.. that obviously 65.222.202.53 belongs to the NSA, because the NSA controls the entire 65.192.0.0/11 range (65.192.0.1 to 65.223.255.254) which is about 2 million IPs.

 This is what they were referring to:

Umm, well.. no. That's just another block allocated to Verizon Business. You may as well argue that everything in 0.0.0.0/0 belongs to the NSA on the same principle. Actually.. maybe it does, but that's another matter entirely. Again.. Robtex is a great tool but you sometimes need to sanity-check the output.

It may surprise you to learn that law enforcement officers and intelligence agencies are not normally complete fucking idiots when it comes to guarding their IP addresses. They do not (for example) sign up to Silk Road with their @fbi.gov email addresses or poke around the underweb from an NSA IP address range. Well, not normally..

I am not saying that the injection wasn't the work of the NSA. Or the CIA, FBI, DOD, IRS or another other Alphabet Soup Agency. But let's see some real evidence first, eh?

UPDATE: I had a closer look at the users of the /24 here. It's a mix of businesses and government organisations and contractors, not surprising given the physical location of the /24.

The link to alliexfinancial.com/?ref=flamwood looks very much like an affiliate link, given the close match to the spammer's email address. The target site does not appear to be malicious according to URLquery.

So, what is alliexfinancial.com? It appears to be some sort of HYIP (High-Yield Investment Program) that offers up to 3.0% return on a investement.. per day.

Are these return rates sustainable? My personal opinion is that I can't see how it would be possible.

So who is this company. The website states "Alliexfinancial Ltd is the UK registered legal international investment company" which is a bit ungrammatical. It also quotes the apparently valid phone number of +44 161 7110107 which is a Manchester number.

I was interested to find that Alliexfinancial Ltd is a registered company at Companies House in the UK:

ALLIEXFINANCIAL LTD
ADVANTAGE BUSINESS CENTRE
132-134 GREAT ANCOATS STREET
MANCHESTER
ENGLAND
M4 6DE
Company No. 07892518

This details match the WHOIS details of the domain precisely:

ALLIEXFINANCIAL LTD
Paul Aleckson
Email:admin@alliexfinancial.com
132-134 GREAT ANCOATS STREET
ADVANTAGE BUSINESS CENTRE
M4 6DE MANCHESTER
United Kingdom
Tel: +44.1617110107

 The domain was registered in December 2009, so it has been around for a little while. The website is proxied by Cloudflare, but I think that the underlying IP address is probably 31.204.130.25 (i3d, Netherlands).

One problem - there's no such company listed on the Financial Services Register, although they do claim to be regulated in the UK:

Alliexfinancial Ltd activities are regulated by the United Kingdom international business authorities and complies with the United Kingdom legislation.

So, if they're not on the Register I am frankly a bit puzzled as to who their regulator is. They do not quote any reference number. However, they are not listed as being an unauthorised firm either.

One other problem - Companies House says that the company was incorporated in 2011, but the site claims they have been active for at least three years (i.e. since 2010):

For the last three years, the amount of funds managed by us has reached an enormous rate that is important to the company's growth and its stability. We are doing our best to make successful forecasts, and our traders work nearly 24 hours a day to make a more stable profit both for us and our investors. 

Perhaps this is an unregulated scheme? I'm not that much of a legal expert in these things, but I do note that the FCA has cautionary guidance on unregulated collective investment schemes (UCIS). In partciular you cannot recommend a UCIS to the general public, and a spam email sent to a scraped address certainly seems to be an attempt to enrol the public into such a scheme.

So, who runs Alliexfinancial Ltd? The Companies House Director's Report [rtf] mentions a sole director, 28 year old Ukranian national Mr Vladimer Ganaga (it's an odd transliteration, I'd expected Vladimir Ganaga to be a more literal way of writing Владимир Ганага). Apart from an NSFW Vkontakte page there's not much verifiable information.

I'm not a financial adviser, but I certainly wouldn't invest any money in this scheme. Do you have any experiences with it? If you do, perhaps you would consider leaving a comment below (all comments are the responsibility of their owners).

Update 12/9/13: in the past couple of days the Alliexfinancial site went offline and payments to investors stopped. No surprises there!

BLDW "Building Turbines Corp" pump-and-dump spam

This illegal spam run almost definitely does not come from Building Turbines Corp (BLDW) but instead someone trying to game the system through a pump-and-dump scam.

There are lots of variations on the spam, but here are three examples:

Green Energy Business Equipped To Rise Monday!!!

BLDW stock isn't really valuable, losing 88.6% of its value since the company was floated in April 2011, and it has been bouncing around the two to four cent level since the beginning of 2013. But this isn't really about the real prospects of the company, this is a straightforward attempt to manipulate the system for profit.

In the past few days, someone has bought about 2.5 million shares in the company at about 4 cents, our past analysis would indicate that this is likely to be the spammer taking up positions.

The spammers may have targeted BLDW stock on their own initiative, but the recent HAIR spam run seems to be for another party. No matter, if you take the example of HAIR then any investors who had followed the spam's fake tips would have ended up losing about 90% of their investment. I'm not saying the BLDW is going to collapse, stay afloat or whatever.. but what I am saying is that you should simply ignore BLDW stock completely because this spam run is simply an attempt at market manipulation.
