Malware spam: "New Doc 115" / "Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android"

This rather terse spam has a malicious attachment:

From:    admin [ali73_2008949@yahoo.co.uk]
Date:    10 February 2016 at 10:16
Subject:    New Doc 115

Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

The sender's email address varies from message to message. Attached is a file New Doc 115.doc which is reportedly identical to the one found in this spam campaign.

Malware spam: Emailing: MX62EDO 10.02.2016 / documents@dmb-ltd.co.uk

This spam has a malicious attachment:

From     documents@dmb-ltd.co.uk
Date     Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:12:41 +0200
Subject     Emailing: MX62EDO 10.02.2016

Your message is ready to be sent with the following file or link
attachments:

MX62EDO  10.02.2016 SERVICE SHEET


Note: To protect against computer viruses, e-mail programs may prevent
sending or receiving certain types of file attachments.  Check your e-mail
security settings to determine how attachments are handled.

Attached is a malicious document named MX62EDO 10.02.2016.doc. I haven't had time to analyse these myself, but a trusted source (thank you) says that there are three different variants of documents, downloading a malicious executable from the following locations:

calflytech.com/09u8h76f/65fg67n
g-t-c.co.uk/09u8h76f/65fg67n
opoai.com/09u8h76f/65fg67n

This drops an executable with a VirusTotal detection rate of 6/55.  This malware calls back to the following IPs:

87.229.86.20 (ZNET Telekom Zrt, Hungary)
50.56.184.194 (Rackspace, US)
144.76.73.3 (Hetzner, Germany)

The payload is the Dridex banking trojan. Some chatter I have seen indicates that this has been hardened against analysis.

Recommended blocklist:
87.229.86.20
50.56.184.194
144.76.73.3
 

Malware spam: "Accounts" / [accounts_do_not_reply@aldridgesecurity.co.uk]

This rather terse spam does not come from Aldridge Security but it is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment. There is no subject.

From     [accounts_do_not_reply@aldridgesecurity.co.uk]
Date     Tue, 09 Feb 2016 10:31:14 +0200
Subject    

Accounts

I have only seen a single sample with an attachment document2016-02-09-103153.doc which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 5/54. Automated analysis [1] [2] shows that it downloads a malicious executable from:

promo.clickencer.com/4wde34f/4gevfdg

This has a detection rate of 5/54. Those analyses indicates that the malware phones home to:

50.56.184.194 (Rackspace, US)

I strongly recommend that you block traffic to that IP. The payload is the Dridex banking trojan.

Malware spam: "Accounts Documentation - Invoices" / CreditControl@crosswater.co.uk

This fake financial spam does not come from Crosswater Holdings, but it is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment:

From:    CreditControl@crosswater.co.uk
Date:    8 February 2016 at 10:34
Subject:    Accounts Documentation - Invoices

Please find attached the invoice(s) raised on your account today. If you have more than one invoice they will all be in the single attachment above.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the Credit Controller who deals with your account.
Alternatively if you do not know the name of the Credit Controller you can contact us at:

Accounts@crosswater-holdings.co.uk

or call us on 0845 873 8840

Please do not reply to this E-mail as this is a forwarding address only.

Attached is a malicious script ~13190.js which comes in at least two different variants (VirusTotal [1] [2]). According to automated analysis [3] [4] [5] [6] these scripts download from:

hydroxylapatites7.meximas.com/98876hg5/45gt454h
80.109.240.71/~l.pennings/98876hg5/45gt454h

This drops an executable with a detection rate of 3/53 which appears to phone home to:

188.40.224.73 (NoTag, Germany)

I strongly recommend that you block traffic to that IP address. The payload is likely to be the Dridex banking trojan.

I have only seen one sample with an attachment named ebill0200442.xls which contains this malicious macro [pastebin] which is different to recent Dridex macros, and is similar to one first seen yesterday. According to this Malwr report it downloads an executable from:

www.trulygreen.net/43543r34r/843tf.exe

also reported is as a download location is:

www.mraguas.com/43543r34r/843tf.exe

If you look at the details of the Malwr report, it seems that the the script does creates a LOT of files all over the place. The dropped executable has a detection rate of 4/52 and according to this Hybrid Analysis shows that it phones home to:

62.76.191.108 (Clodo-Cloud / IT-House, Russia)

This is the same IP address as seen earlier, put the payload has now changed. Blocking that IP would be wise, and I would suggest that blocking 62.76.184.0/21 is probably worth considering too.

Malware spam: "More scans" / admin@victimdomain.tld / DOC201114-201114-001.js

This terse spam appears to originate from within the victim's own organisation, but it does not. Instead it is a simple forgery with a malicious attachment:

From:    admin [admin@victimdomain.tld]
Date:    4 February 2016 at 08:17
Subject:    More scans

Attached is a file DOC201114-201114-001.js which comes in a variety of different variants. The payload appears to be the Dridex banking trojan, as seen in this earlier spam run.

Malware spam: "January balance £785" / Alison Smith [ASmith056@jtcp.co.uk]

This fake financial spam does not come from J. Thomson Colour Printers, but is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment:

From     Alison Smith [ASmith056@jtcp.co.uk]
Date     Thu, 04 Feb 2016 10:52:21 +0300
Subject "January balance £785"

Hi,

Thank you for your recent payment of £672.

It appears the attached January invoice has been missed off of your payment. Could
you please advise when this will be paid or if there is a query with the invoice?

 P Save Paper - Do you really need to print this e-mail?

The poor company being spoofed has already been hit by this attack recently [1] [2]. The email address of the sender varies from message to message.

Attached is a file IN161561-201601.js which comes in at least five different versions (VirusTotal [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]). This is a highly obfuscated script that looks like this [pastebin] and automated analysis of the various scripts [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] shows that the macro downloads from the following locations (there may be more):

ejanla.co/43543r34r/843tf.exe
cafecl.1pworks.com/43543r34r/843tf.exe

This binary has a detection rate of 2/52 and phones home to:

62.76.191.108 (Clodo-Cloud / IT-House, Russia)

Note that the whole 62.76.184.0/21 block is a haven for malware, but it does also have some legitimate Russian customers. You might want to consider blocking the entire range if your users don't need to visit Russian websites. The payload is the Dridex banking trojan, and although it is unusual to see a plain .js file spammed out like this, it is consistent with botnet 220.

Malware spam: "Attached Image" from canon@ the recipient's own domain

This spam pretends to come from the victim's own domain, but it doesn't. Instead it is a simple forgery with a malicious attachment.

From:    canon@victimdomain.tld
Date:    3 February 2016 at 12:09
Subject:    Attached Image

There is no body text. Attached is a file 1690_001.xls of which I have seen a single variant with a detection rate of 9/54. The Hybrid Analysis shows it downloading an executable from:


best-drum-set.com/43rf3dw/34frgegrg.exe

This has a detection rate of 6/51 and is the same binary as used in this other spam attack today.

Malware spam: "Invoice MOJU-0939" / Accounts [message-service@post.xero.com]

This fake financial spam comes with a malicious attachment. It does not come from Moju Ltd but is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment:

From:    Accounts [message-service@post.xero.com]
Date:    3 February 2016 at 09:04
Subject:    Invoice MOJU-0939

Hi,

Here's invoice MOJU-0939 for 47.52 GBP. For last weeks delivery.

The amount outstanding of 47.52 GBP is due on 25 Feb 2016.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thanks,
Moju Ltd

I have only seen one sample of this, with an attachment named Invoice MOJU-0939.zip containing a malicious script invoice_id4050638124.js that has detection rate of 2/53 and which according to this Malwr report downloads a binary from:

www.ni-na27.wc.shopserve.jp/43rf3dw/34frgegrg.exe

This payload is the same as seen in this concurrent spam run.

Malware spam: "GS Toilet Hire - Invoice (SI-523) for £60.00, due on 28/02/2016"

This fake financial spam does not come from GS Toilet Hire but is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment. In other words, if you open it.. you will be in the sh*t.

From:    GS Toilet Hire [donotreply@sageone.com]
Date:    3 February 2016 at 09:12
Subject:    GS Toilet Hire - Invoice (SI-523) for £60.00, due on 28/02/2016

Good morning

Thank you for your business - we're pleased to attach your invoice in PDF. Please bear in mind that if we are in the area the price is reduced to £15+vat per visit.

I have seen two samples of this, both with an attachment named Sales_Invoice_SI-523_GS Toilet Hire.pdf.zip which contains a malicious Javascript file with a name like invoice_id6395788111.js. The two samples that I have seen have low detection rates [1] [2] containing some highly obfuscated scripts [3] [4] which according to these analyses [5] [6] [7] downloads a binary from one of the following locations:

obstipatie.nu/43rf3dw/34frgegrg.exe
bjhaggerty.com/43rf3dw/34frgegrg.exe
(also www.ni-na27.wc.shopserve.jp/43rf3dw/34frgegrg.exe from this related spam run)

This type of download indicates that this is Dridex 220, it is unusual for it to be spammed out with a Javascript-in-ZIP format rather than a malicious Office macro. The binary has a detection rate of 5/49 and this Hybrid Analysis shows the malware phoning home to:

91.239.232.145 (Hostpro Ltd, Ukraine)

I strongly recommend that you block all traffic to that IP, and possibly the 91.239.232.0/22 block in which it resides.

UPDATE

The same spam is being sent out with a more traditional DOC attachment, Sales_Invoice_SI-523_GS Toilet Hire.doc which comes in at least two different variants (VirusTotal [1] [2]) which according to these Malwr reports [3] [4] downloads a binary from the following locations:

xinchunge.com/xinchunge.com/43rf3dw/34frgegrg.exe
taukband.com/43rf3dw/34frgegrg.exe
(also best-drum-set.com/43rf3dw/34frgegrg.exe from this later spam run)

This is a different binary from before, with a detection rate of 4/53. It still phones home to the same location.

Attached is a malicious document Leathams Ltd_INV2372039.doc which comes in at least two different versions (VirusTotal [1] [2]). The Malwr analysis for one of those samples shows a download from:

fillingsystem.com/5h4g/0oi545gfgf.exe

This is similar to a spam run earlier, but now the payload has changed to one with a detection rate of precisely zero (MD5 0d37099eaff9c507c782fd81c715255b). Analysis of this is pending. The payload is the Dridex banking trojan.

UPDATE 

Automated analysis [1] [2] shows the executable phoning home to:

91.239.232.145 (Hostpro Ltd, Ukraine)

I strongly recommend blocking traffic to that IP, or the whole /22 in which it resides.

The sender's email address and detail will vary from email to email, however they all follow the same format. Attached is a file with a name along the lines of invoice_AA123456.doc which comes in at least three different versions (VirusTotal results [1] [2] [3]). These Malwr reports [4] [5] [6] show the macro in the documents downloading from one of the folllowing locations:

hebenstreit.us.com/5h4g/0oi545gfgf.exe

This binary has a detection rate of 5/52. That VirusTotal result and those Malwr reports show it phoning home to:

I would strongly recommend blocking traffic to that IP, or indeed you can probably block the entire 91.239.232.0/22 range will no ill effects.

Thank you for your business - we appreciate it very much.

Sincerely,

ESSENDEN PLC

The attachment is in the format INV19 - 865272.doc (it always starts with "INV19" and then has the fake reference number). There are at least three different versions (VirusTotal [1] [2] [3]).

Analysis is pending, however this is likely to be the Dridex banking trojan.

UPDATE 1

A different variant of the spam email is going on, which appears to have roughly the same payload:

From:    Heather Mcfadden [McfaddenHeather71@victimdomain.tld]
Date:    1 February 2016 at 10:09
Subject:    Transaction and Payment Confirmation from HAYWARD TYLER GROUP PLC

Hello,

The attached document is a transaction payment confirmation from HAYWARD TYLER GROUP PLC in the amount of GBP 1,879.86.

Your transaction reference number is A3546F.

Kind Regards,

Heather Mcfadden

HAYWARD TYLER GROUP PLC

UPDATE 2

The Malwr analysis of three of the attachments [1] [2] [3] shows download locations of:

31.131.24.203/indiana/jones.php
31.41.45.23/indiana/jones.php

These IPs can be considered as malicious, and belong to:

31.131.24.203 (PE Skurykhin Mukola Volodumurovuch, Ukraine)
31.41.45.23 (Relink LTD, Russia)

This drops a malicious binary with a detection rate of 2/53. This phones home to:

185.24.92.229 (System Projects, LLC, Russia)

 This spam appears to be the Dridex banking trojan (botnet 120 perhaps).

Recommended blocklist:
185.24.92.229
31.131.24.203
31.41.45.23

Malware spam: "Despatch Note FFGDES34309" / Foyle Food Group Limited [accounts@foylefoodgroup.com]

This fake financial spam is not from Foyle Food Group Limited but is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment:

From     Foyle Food Group Limited [accounts@foylefoodgroup.com]
Date     Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:58:37 +0700
Subject     Despatch Note FFGDES34309

Please find attached Despatch Note FFGDES34309

I haven't had the chance to do the analysis myself, so I am relying on the analysis of a contact (thank you). The attachment is FFGDES34309.doc which comes in three different variants, downloading from:

jjcoll.in/56gf/g545.exe
romana.fi/56gf/g545.exe
clickchiropractic.com/56gf/g545.exe

This has an MD5 of d88c2bed761c7384d0e8657477af9da7 and a detection rate of 6/49. According to my contact, this phones home to:

85.143.166.200 (Pirix, Russia)
103.245.153.70 (OrionVM, Australia)
144.76.73.3 (Hetzner, Germany)

This drops the Dridex banking trojan. The behaviour is consistent with botnet 220.

Recommended blocklist:
85.143.166.200
103.245.153.70
144.76.73.3

The attachment is named Resume.rtf, but is it actually a DOCX file with a malicious macro [pastebin], the document has a VirusTotal detection rate of 9/54. I haven't had time to do a detailed analysis, but these automated analyses [1] [2] [3] show it phoning home to:

89.248.166.131 (Quasi Networks, Seychelles)

I recommend that you block traffic to that IP. I'm not sure about what this drops, possibly ransomware. No doubt someone reading this will :)

The name of the sender and references will vary. There seem to be several different versions of the attachment named in a format Canon-mf30102A13A@altel.kz_2615524.xls, some example results at VirusTotal are here [1] [2] [3] [4].

The attachments are malformed. You may not be able to download them, or it may appear there are no attachments. It will vary from email client to email client.

Analysis of the attachments is pending, although these Malwr analyses [1] [2] [3] attempted downloads from:

109.234.35.37/californication/ninite.php
5.189.216.105/californication/ninite.php

This binary has a zero detection rate at VirusTotal.  That VirusTotal report and this Malwr report indicate network traffic to:

8.254.218.46 (Level 3, US)

I strongly recommend that you block traffic to that IP. This will be some variant of the Dridex banking trojan.

[UPDATE]

This additional Malwr report shows another IP worth blocking:

103.224.83.130 (#2 of Group 1, Lingshan, China)
