In this case the link in the email goes to http://illen-beauty.ru/wp-admin/3PAbHfSM5FEma from where it downloads a file 2014_11_rechnung_1_1_000309399002.zip containing a malicious executable 2014_11_rechnung_1_1_000309399002_4884_9849_00483_00222_0039459856_29392_000000002008.exe  which at the moment is quite widely detected at VirusTotal with 22/56 engines coming up positive.

The Malwr report shows that the payload is hardened against analysis, but it does show an attempted connection to 109.123.78.10 (UK2.net, UK) which might be worth looking for.

The link in the email goes to http://taxi-haarlem.com/wp-content/ajisev8X7AOkLY from where it downloads rechnung_november_2014_0003900028.zip containing a malicious executable rechnung_november_2014_0003900028_2014_11_0029302375471_03_444_0039938289.exe which has an icon that looks like a PDF file.

This malware has a VirusTotal detection rate of 6/55. The Malwr report shows that it is hardeded against analysis, but it does connect to the following URL:

http://162.144.106.152:8080/974aade0/d0392bb4/

162.144.106.152 has been used several times recently in this type of attack, it is a compromised server belonging to Unified Layer in the US. I strongly suggest that you block traffic to this IP.

What the heck is with 104.152.215.0/25?

A contact gave me the heads up to an exploit kit running on 104.152.215.90 [virustotal] which appears to be using MS16-064 among other things [urlquery].

104.152.215.90 belongs to Query Foundry LLC in Wyoming, however they suballocated it to a customer:

707 Wilshire Boulevard is a massive office block  but I suspect that this is just an accommodation address, so there's no real lead on who this customer is.

A look at the contents of the /25 is puzzling, because I can see almost 1500 sites [csv] on a number of active IPs [txt], almost none of which have any kind of discernible web presence or reputation. 

Drilling down into the domains and registrants [csv] shows a list of either Chinese or US registrants, but in the vast majority of cases they look to be fake. The key indicator is that the email addresses listed are all of a similar format and bear no relationship whatsoever to the name of the registrant.

The random structure of most of the domains is an indicator of possible maliciousness. The few domains that don't meet these pattern seem to be .fr domains which look like they have been hijacked or re-registered.. and oddly they are all registered to different (often obviously fake) people at the same address in France:


address:     13, rue de rohrwiller bischwiller,67240 Bas-Rhin, France 139 a
address:     67240 Bischwiller
address:     Bas-Rhin
country:     FR

It isn't a big place according to Google.  I doubt if there is a Assad Sfdsadsfw, Yfdsjshfk Ynagkjhk, Qewqewq Sfwad or Poiug Pppobflgk living in that location.

Although there is not much data about the range, there are a couple of domains that are also flagged a malicious:

sxzav.xyz [Google diagnostics]
klioz.xyz [Google diagnostics]

Quite why they are flagged as malicious is a puzzle.

My personal opinion is that there is enough evidence to treat 104.152.215.0/25 as a suspect network. It does not appear to have any legitimate sites, the sites that do exist are of an unknown purpose and often have apparently fake WHOIS details for the domains.

Blocking or monitoring for traffic to and from that /25 is the easiest way of doing it, alternatively these are the domains being used in this network block:

MyFax message from "unknown" spam leads to poorly-detected malware

Fax spam again. How quaint. This spam appears to come from the person receiving it (which is an old trick).

From: victim@victimdomain.com
Sent: 24 November 2014 15:31
To: norep.c@mefax.com
Subject: MyFax message from "unknown" - 3 page(s)


Fax Message [Caller-ID: 1-407-067-7356]

The link in the message downloads a file faxmessage_7241_pdf61.zip which in turn contains a malicious executable faxmessage_7241_pdf.exe which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 4/53. The Malwr report shows that it connects to the following URLs:

A file EXE1.EXE is also dropped, with a VirusTotal detection rate of just 1/54. The Malwr report is here.

Oplamo Herbal Root scam

As far as I can tell, there is no such thing as "Oplamo Herbal Root". So, this spam is almost definitely a scam.

Reply-To:     mrtomgoodhope@gmail.com
Date:     22 November 2014 02:24
Subject:     SUPPLY BUSINESS OF OPLAMO

My name is Tom Goodhope i based in Liverpool,UK working with a pharmaceutical company.
I have decided to contact you directly to discuss briefly via email about the ongoing supply that came up in our company.

I think if you can understand English and India Language (Hindi,Tamil etc) you can take up this business proposal to buy out OPLAMO HERBAL ROOT from the local producer in India and make supply to our company as the direct producer to enable our company be buying direct from you on every subsequent order after this first purchase.


OPLAMO ROOT its used for production of Anti-viral drugs & Animal Vaccines.Our company have been purchasing the materials from Pakistan but it is very scarce and expensive now in Pakistan. I've found out the truth that this Pakistan people purchases this product in India at the rate of $210 USD,while they supply to our company at the rate of $430 USD.

Recently i got the contact information of a local producer in India that preserve {OPLAMO} herbal root to the quality our company needs for production and i came to know that this product can be purchase at rate of $280 US dollar per sachet in India.

Note that i can not release the contact information of the local producer easily to anybody that can not follow up with guidelines on how to make this supply on this first supply,because if any mistake occurs and my company finds out that i'm involve in given information to someone to supply this product to them they will consult a legal petition against me and i can not go to India to buy and supply this product to our company because i do not have money to handle this business and i don't want to release this information to our company management.

Our company buys 3000 sachets (each sachet contains 5 grams),but on the first order with any producer they want to give a trial order of 300 or 500 sachets and payment method for this first order is COD- cash on delivery, upon their satisfaction on this first order they would be making payment on T/T in advance.

Please read this business proposal very well before you reply me,if you can not handle this business according to my guideline its better you don't reply me,because i want you and i to be on safer side in this transaction.

Upon your reply i will clarify you more on how to start this business immediately,please drop your contact phone number for me to be able to contact you ASAP.

Thanks,

Mr Tom Goodhope

Company Secretary

"Tom Goodhope" sounds more Nigerian than British, but the originating IP address is actually 123.239.58.103 in Delhi, sent via 198.20.245.154 [eas.easylhost.com] in the US.

Given that all the search results I can find for "Oplamo Herbal Root" or "Oplamo Root" seem to be similar scams, I would suggest that this doesn't even qualify as snake oil and I would give it a very wide berth.

"Ihr Zahlungsauftrag - 41401236123" spam

StockTips.com spam.. or Joe Job?

When I saw this StockTips.com spam, I assumed that it was a pump-and-dump scam.

Subject:     Sign up now

The spam was sent to an account that often receives pump-and-dump spam, and it has never signed up for anything like this. The most likely source for the email address in question is from the virus-infected computer of a contact.

So what is this? A virus? There's nothing malicious about this email. A Joe Job? Well, I've had a LOT of these, and even the most stupid email marketer tend not spam the same recipients over and over again. So perhaps it is a Joe Job.

IP address analysis

The IP addresses used to send the spam seem to be a mix of compromised PCs and servers, possibly forming part of a botnet. Legitimate companies don't use this kind of technique (obviously), but even real companies that do send spam tend to find a proper web host somewhere. This is another indicate that it might be a Joe Job.

62.143.125.49	Unitymedia, Germany	Project Honeypot shows that it has only been used for spam quite recently.  It looks to be a server rented from a legitimate company, although obviously for illegitimate purposes. Possibly the server has been compromised.
188.66.76.4	Gamma Telecom, UK	Project Honeypot shows just how spammy this IP is. And it has been used for stock spam in the past as well, which indicates this is not a one-off. It looks like this may be a compromised server.
80.38.8.21	Telefonica de Espana SAU, Spain	Resolves as 21.Red-80-38-8.staticIP.rima-tde.net, so a static IP rather than a DSL connection. Project Honeypot says that it used to be used for spam some time ago but has been clean for a long time.
88.156.185.92	Vectra S.A., Poland	Description is "Vectra Broadband Users" which indicates a DSL or cable connection. Project Honeypot has no data.
187.94.214.35	Feliz Acesse Comunicacao Ltda, Brazil	No data on this, could be a domestic IP address.
79.180.189.55	Bezeq International Ltd, Israel	Appears to be a domestic broadband user.
78.187.242.217	TurkTelekom, Turkey	ADSL subscriber
176.94.67.198	Arcor AG, Germany	Arcor / Vodafone DE business customer.

What about StockTips.com itself?

StockTips.com is a snazzy looking site..

But there is not one single piece of information that identifies who runs it, except for a reference to Amerada Corp which is also mentioned in the spam email. The WHOIS details for the domain are also hidden, so it is impossible to determine who actually owns the site.

A search for "Amerada Corp" comes up with nothing except that it is a former name of Hess Corporation who are clearly nothing to do with this.

Scrolling down the page gives a clue as to what this might be about..

A $37 signup fee? No thanks.. but it says it is a one time fee but the spam says a monthly fee. That's inconsistent. Another indicator of a Joe Job? Perhaps.

Something else caught me eye.

HAIR was the subject of a massive pump-and-dump spam run last year. After StockTips.com recommended HAIR in May of 2012, the share price basically fell off a cliff.

Hmmm.

A bit of Googling around shows a lot of negative comment about StockTips.com. There are some accusations that I have not been able to verify that they are involved in paid stock promotions for the penny stocks that they list.

The Penny Stock market has a lot of legitimate players, but there are also a lot of people who try to manipulate the market for their own gains. It is possible that StockTips.com has clashed in some way with the sort of people who run pump-and-dump scams, and they have decided to take their revenge by creating this fake spam run.

Perhaps if you have some experience with this outfit, you would like to share it in the comments? Note that all comments are owned by the people posting them.

In this case the attachment is De_209473A.doc but it will probably vary with the subject name, the document itself has zero detections at VirusTotal (the Malwr report is inconclusive). This contains a malicious macro [pastebin] which connects to the following URL:

http://79.137.227.123:8080/get1/get1.php

I only have one sample at the moment, there are probably other download locations, the This then downloads a file test.exe which is saved to %TEMP%\VYEJIUNSXLI.exe.

This has a VirusTotal detection rate of just 1/55. The malware is hardened against analysis in a Sandbox so automated results are inconclusive [1] [2] [3] [4].

UPDATE:
A second version is going the rounds, with zero detections  and a download location of

"Test message" spam plague continues..

This plague of spam "test messages" have been going on for two days now, probably sourced from "Botnet 125" which sends most of the spam I get. These messages are annoying but no harmful in themselves, I suspect they are probing mail servers for responses.

If you have a catch-all email address then you will probably see a lot of these. The targets are either completely random or have been harvested from one data breach or another as far as I can see.

Thank you for using Interfax

Attached is a malicious Word macro file called 00000293.docm which is currently undetected at VirusTotal. The Malwr report doesn't say much (Malwr isn't great at analysis this type of threat). Inside this .DOCM file is a malicious macro [pastebin] which attempts to download a malicious binary from http://agro2000.cba.pl/js/bin.exe

This file is downloaded to %TEMP%\MRSWZZFEYPX.exe and the binary also has zero detections at VirusTotal, and the Malwr report shows that it tries to connect to the following URL:

http://84.40.9.34/lneinn/mo%26af.lipgs%2Bfn%7El%3Fboel%3D%3F+%3Fa%20%3F~pigc_k/ci$slf%2B%20l%3D%7E

It then drops a malicious DLL onto the target system which has a rather better detection rate of 12/53. 

If you are a corporate email admistrator they you might consider blocking .DOCM files at the perimeter as I can see no valid reason these to be sent by email. You should definitely block 84.40.9.34 (Hostway, Belgium) as this is a known bad server that has been used in several recent attacks.

"Test mesage" / "hi there" spam

Here's an unusual spam run coming through right now.. it doesn't seem to have a payload at all..

In all cases "Test mesage" is spelled incorrectly and the body is just "hi there". Because there is no malicious payload (such as an attachment or link) and the message lacks the sort of trigger words that might get it blocked then there is a high probability that at least some of these will get through your spam filter/

Vodafone D2 "Ihre Festnetz-Rechnung für November 2014" spam

In this case, the link in the email goes to studiarte.com/gFlEyLcSo where it downloads a file 2014_11vodafone_onlinerechnung.zip which contains a malicious binary 2014_11vodafone_onlinerechnung_0020003909_november_3903980009_11_00000000445.exe

This file has a very low detection rate at VirusTotal of 1/53. Most automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3]  don't say much, however the ThreatTrack report [pdf] is more details and apparently shows the malware phoning home to:

46.183.219.78 (DataClub, Latvia)
178.210.167.213 (Markum Bilisim Teknolojileri, Turkey)

Additionally, the following IPs and active domains are queried:

64.27.101.155 (Ken Thomas, US)
109.74.3.6 (GleSYS Internet Services, Sweden)
144.76.59.84 (Hetzner, Germany)

eaelgqsjqukhenaq.eu
tejohjlxraqmamnx.eu

Some of these DGA domains have been sinkholed, I have removed obvious ones but not that some of these IP addresses may not actually be malicious. However, if you are a network administrator there is no harm in blocking or monitoring sinkholes from your network, so I would recommend the following blocklist:

46.183.219.78
178.210.167.213

109.74.3.6

177.73.233.170

5.199.167.197
86.124.164.25
66.172.27.44
141.255.165.152
141.255.165.155
173.193.106.11

UPDATE 2014-11-20: 
I previously recommended blocking the following IPs which it turns out are legitimate, possible added by the malware authors to create false positives. If you have blocked them then I recommend unblocking them.

64.27.101.155
144.76.59.84
212.19.62.76
