Inspiral Carpets hacked, leads to The Quantum Code binary options spam

This type of binary options scam spam comes in waves every so often:

Good day!

We are looking for employees working remotely.

My name is Glen, I am the personnel manager of a large International company.
Most of the work you can do from home, that is, at a distance.
Salary is $2600-$5500.

If you are interested in this offer, please visit Our Site

Good day!

It's not very interesting to tell the truth, but it relies on hacked WordPress sites in order to provide landing pages. Of course, hacking someone's site to do this is illegal and no legitimate business would promote itself like this.

What I noticed was the URL in the email..

inspiralcarpets.com/super/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/genericons/

Inspiral Carpets? Yup, that's the website of the Manchester rock band of the same name. Rather than a carpet shop. As this URLquery report shows, it lands on..

cash-onlines.com [172.246.233.55] (Enzu, US)

There's a familiar landing page..

Clicking the link goes to www.the-quantumcode.com hosted on 31.220.0.35 (Terratransit, Netherlands). This is some bollocks about a binary options trading robot which will apparently make you millions. Obviously this is a scam, because if it was really that easy we'll all be doing it.

One little scammy trick is a counter to tell you that loads of people are looking at the site but there are only a small number of slots available.

The numbers are completely made up. If you look exactly the same page in another browser window, they are different.

It's hard to say if the spam was sent out by whoever runs the binary options site or an affiliate. But it's still crap either way.

Hosted on the same server are the following domains which are probably more of the same plus a load of other bollocks:

The EK domains are running on a botnet (those are listed in italics). The other domains seem to serve some other sort of nastiness. Those IPs form part of a range rented from Host Europe Group consisting of the following IPs:

62.75.167.186
62.75.167.187
62.75.167.188
62.75.167.189
62.75.167.190

This is roughly analogous to 62.75.167.184/29 which might be worth blocking, but note that won't stop IP traffic to the EK domains which are on different IPs. These IPs are allocated to:

Malware spam: "Attached is the tax invoice of your company. Please do the payment in an urgent manner." leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Tax invoice
From:     Kris Allison (Allison.5326@resorts.com.mx)
Date:     Tuesday, 13 September 2016, 11:22

Dear Client,

Attached is the tax invoice of your company. Please do the payment in an urgent manner.


Best regards,
Kris Allison

The name of the sender will vary. Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file containing a malicious .wsf with a name beginning with "tax_invoice_scan PDF". According to my trusted source (thank you!) the various scripts download a component from one of the following locations:

Malware spam: "Budget report" leads to Locky (and also evil network on 23.95.106.128/25)

This fake financial spam leads to Locky ransomware:

From:    Lauri Gibbs
Date:    12 September 2016 at 15:11
Subject:    Budget report

Hi [redacted],

I have partially finished the last month's budget report you asked me to do. Please add miscellaneous expenses in the budget.


With many thanks,
Lauri Gibbs

Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file which in sample I saw contained two identical malicious scripts:

921FA0B8 Budget_report_xls - 1.js
921FA0B8 Budget_report_xls.js

The scripts are highly obfuscated however the Hybrid Analysis and Malwr report show that it downloads a component from:

lookbookinghotels.ws/a9sgrrak
trybttr.ws/h71qizc

These are hosted on a New Wave Netconnect IP at 23.95.106.223. This forms part of a block 23.95.106.128/25 which also contained Locky download locations at two other locations [1] [2] which rather makes me think that the whole range should be blocked.

A DLL is dropped with a detection rate of about 8/57 [3] [4] which appears to phone home to:

51.255.105.2/data/info.php (New wind Stanislav, Montenegro / OVH / France)
185.154.15.150/data/info.php [hostname: tyte.ru] (Dunaevskiy Denis Leonidovich, Russia / Zomro, Netherlands)

Malware spam: "Order Confirmation xxxxx" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to malware:

From:    Ignacio le neve
Date:    9 September 2016 at 10:31
Subject:    Order Confirmation 355050211

This message is intended only for the individual or entity to which it is
addressed and may contain information that is private and confidential. If
you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any
dissemination, distribution or copying of this communication and its

The name of the sender and the reference number will vary. Attached is a file named consistently with the reference (e.g. Ord355050211.zip) but an error in the MIME formatting means that this may save with a .dzip ending instead of .zip.

Contained within the ZIP file is a malicious .HTA script with a random name (example). This simply appears to be an encapsulated Javascript.

Analysis is pending, my trusted source (thank you) says that the various scripts download from one of the following locations:

The URL is appended with a randomised query string (e.g. ?abcdEfgh=ZYXwvu). The payload is Locky ransomware has an MD5 of 5db5fc57ee4ad0e603f96cd9b7ef048a but I do not have a sample yet.

This version of Locky does not use C2s, so if you want to block traffic then I recommend using the list above or monitoring/blocking access attempts with 7832ghd in the string.

UPDATE: The Hybrid Analysis of one of the scripts does not add much except to confirm that this is ransomware.

Malware spam: "[Vigor2820 Series] New voice mail message from xxxxx"

Malware spam: "Agreement form" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to malware:

Subject:     Agreement form
From:     Marlin Gibson
Date:     Wednesday, 7 September 2016, 9:35

Hi there,

Roberta assigned you to make the payment agreement for the new coming employees.

Here is the agreement form. Please finish it urgently.

Best Regards,
Marlin Gibson
Support Manager

The name of the sender will vary. Attached is a ZIP file named with a random hexadecimal sequence, containing a malicious .JS script ending with agreement_form_doc.js and in the sample I saw there was also a duplicate..

308F92BC agreement_form_doc - 1.js
308F92BC agreement_form_doc.js

Automated analysis [1] [2] shows that the scripts [partly deobfuscated example] attempt to download a binary from one of the following locations:

donttouchmybaseline.ws/ecf2k1o
canonsupervideo4k.ws/afeb6
malwinstall.wang/fsdglygf
listofbuyersus.co.in/epzugs

Of those locations, only the first three resolve, as follows:

donttouchmybaseline.ws 216.244.68.195 (Wowrack, US)
canonsupervideo4k.ws   51.255.227.230 (OVH, France / Kitdos)
malwinstall.wang       51.255.227.230 (OVH, France / Kitdos)

The registration details for all those domains are the same:

  Registry Registrant ID:
  Registrant Name: Dudenkov Denis
  Registrant Organization: Eranet International Limited
  Registrant Street: Lenina 18 Lenina 18
  Registrant City: Vladivostok
  Registrant State/Province: RU
  Registrant Postal Code: 690109
  Registrant Country: RU
  Registrant Phone: 85222190860
  Registrant Phone Ext:
  Registrant Fax:
  Registrant Fax Ext:
  Registrant Email: volosovik@inbox.ru
  Registry Admin ID:

These are the same details as found here. We know from that incident that the download locations are actually spread around a bit:

23.95.106.206 (New Wave NetConnect, US)
51.255.227.230 (OVH, France / Kitdos)
107.173.176.4 (Virtual Machine Solutions LLC, US)
192.3.7.198 [hostname: ns2.3arab.net] (Hudson Valley Host, US)
216.244.68.195 (Wowrack, US)
217.13.103.48 (1B Holding ZRT, Hungary)

The following also presumably evil sites are also hosted on those IPs:

bookinghotworld.ws
clubofmalw.ws
darkestzone2.wang
donttouchmybaseline.ws
canonsupervideo4k.ws
malwinstall.wang
wangmewang.name
tradesmartcoin.xyz
virmalw.name

Currently I am unable to work out the C2 locations for the malware, which is probably Locky ransomware. In the meantime, I recommend you block:

51.255.227.228/30
23.95.106.206
107.173.176.4
192.3.7.198

Account manager

The spam will appear to come from different senders. Attached is a ZIP file with a random hexadecimal name, in turn containing a malicious .js script starting with the string credit_card_receipt_

A Malwr analysis of three samples [1] [2] [3] shows each one downloading a component from:

canonsupervideo4k.ws/1bcpr7xx

This appears to be multihomed on the following IP addresses:

23.95.106.206 (New Wave NetConnect, US)
107.173.176.4 (Virtual Machine Solutions LLC, US)
192.3.7.198 [hostname: ns2.3arab.net] (Hudson Valley Host, US)
217.13.103.48 (1B Holding ZRT, Hungary)

Of interest, the WHOIS details have been seen before in relation to Locky. They are probably fake:

  Registrant Name: Dudenkov Denis
  Registrant Organization: Eranet International Limited
  Registrant Street: Lenina 18 Lenina 18
  Registrant City: Vladivostok
  Registrant State/Province: RU

  Registrant Phone: 85222190860
  Registrant Phone Ext:
  Registrant Fax:

  Registrant Email: volosovik@inbox.ru

Those reports indicate that a malicious DLL is dropped with a detection rate of 9/57.  These Hybrid Analysis reports [4] [5] [6] show the malware phoning home to:

91.211.119.71/data/info.php [hostname: data.ru.com] (Zharkov Mukola Mukolayovuch aka 0x2a, Ukraine)

Malware spam: "old office facilities" leads to Locky

This spam has a malicious attachment:

Subject:     old office facilities
From:     Kimberly Snow (Snow.741@niqueladosbestreu.com)
Date:     Friday, 2 September 2016, 8:55

Hi Corina,

Attached is the list of old office facilities that need to be replaced. Please copy the list into the purchase order form.


Best wishes,
Kimberly Snow

The name of the sender will vary. Attached is a ZIP file with a random hexadecimal number, containing a malicious .js script beginning with office_facilities_ plus another random hexadecimal number.

Analysis is pending, but this Malwr report indicates attempted communications to:

malwinstall.wang
sopranolady7.wang

..both apparently hosted on 66.85.27.250 (Crowncloud, US). Those domain names are consistent with this being Locky ransomware.

UPDATE 1

According to this Malwr report it drops a DLL with a detection rate of 10/58. Also those mysterious .wang domains appear to be multihomed on the following IPs:

Dear customer,

Our shipping service is sending the order form due to the request from your company.

Please fill the attached form with precise information.

Very truly yours,
Charles Burgess

The sender's name will vary. Attached is a ZIP file with a random hexadecimal name, containing a malicious .js file beginning with a random sequence and endng with _shipping_service.js.

Automated analysis [1] [2] [3] [4] of two samples sees the script downloading from the following locations (there are probably more than this):

Between those four reports, there are three different DLLs dropped (VirusTotal [5] [6] [7]). This Hybrid Analysis shows the malware phoning home to:

5.34.183.211/data/info.php [hostname: take.cli] (ITL, Ukraine)

The name of the sender will vary. Attached is a randomly-named ZIP file containing a malicious .js script with a name consisting of a random hexadecimal number plus _bank_transactions.js.

According to the Malwr report of these three samples [1] [2] [3] the (very sweary) scripts download from these following locations (there are probably more):

The malware phones home to:

185.129.148.19/php/upload.php (MWTV, Latvia)
138.201.56.190/php/upload.php (Hetzner, Germany)

That Latvian network range is all bad, I recommend that you block the lot. The payload is Locky ransomware.

Recommended blocklist:
185.129.148.0/24
