Malware spam: "complaint letter" leads to Locky

This spam email message has a malicious attachment that leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     complaint letter
From:     Jae Mason
Date:     Wednesday, 5 October 2016, 10:48

Dear [redacted], client sent a complaint letter regarding the data file you provided.

The letter is attached. Please review his concerns carefully and reply him as soon as possible.

The sender name will vary. Attached is a ZIP file with a name in the format complaint_letter_955ce806.zip which contains a malicious .WSF script.

My source tells me that the scripts download from one of the following locations:

Malware spam: "Document from.." leads to Locky

I have only received a single sample of this spam, presumably it comes from random senders. There is no body text in my sample.

Subject:     Document from Paige
From:     Paige cuddie (Paige592035@gmail.com)
Date:     Wednesday, 5 October 2016, 9:37 

In this case there was an attached file DOC-20161005-WA0002793.zip containing a malicious script [pastebin] DOC-20161005-WA0002715.wsf.

Automated analysis [1] [2] shows this sample downloads from:

euple.com/65rfgb?EfTazSrkG=eLKWKtL

There will be many other locations besides this.

Those same reports show the malware (in this case Locky ransomware) phoning home to:

88.214.236.36/apache_handler.php (Overoptic Systems, UK / Russia)
109.248.59.100/apache_handler.php (Ildar Gilmutdinov aka argotel.ru, Russia)

The sample I found downloaded a legitimate binary from ciscobinary.openh264.org/openh264-win32-v1.3.zip presumably as an anti-analysis technique.

Recommended blocklist:
88.214.236.0/23
109.248.59.0/24

Malware spam: "I have shipped your packet. Please check the report enclosed here to view more info."

This spam email leads to Cerber ransomware:

From:    Trevor David
Date:    3 October 2016 at 13:46
Subject:    Pede Industries

Hello
I have shipped your packet. Please check the report enclosed here to view more info.

Word doc password: JqpcGrKK9


Pede Industries

Company names and senders are randomly generated. Attached is a randomly-named .DOT file with password protection. The password protection makes it hard to analyse, but my source tell me that these documents download from:

www.ldlogistic.it/kls.doc
csir.bdx6.siteinternet.com/kls.doc

The dropped malware apparently has an MD5 of 0e7913875724151d8e822add07ec75b2.

Once downloaded, the malware attempts to make a C2 connection to an IP in the range
31.184.234.0/23:6892 (GTO, Montenegro and Virty.io, Russia). I don't know which is the active IP, but blocking the entire /23 might be a good precaution.

Malware spam: "[Scan] 2016-1003 15:26:26" / "Sent with Genius Scan for iOS." leads to Locky

This fake document scan leads to Locky ransomware:

From:    DAMON ASHBROOK
Date:    3 October 2016 at 10:56
Subject:    [Scan] 2016-1003 15:26:26

--
Sent with Genius Scan for iOS.

The name of the sender, the subject and the attachment name (in this case 2016-1003 15-26-26.xls) will vary somewhat.

This Malwr analysis shows some of the infection in action. Overall my sources tell me that the various malicious macros download from:

Malware spam: "please sign" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     please sign
From:     Ricardo Buchanan
Date:     Monday, 3 October 2016, 10:27

Hi [redacted],

I have made the paperwork you asked me to prepare two days ago.
Please check the attachment. It just needs your signature.



Best Wishes,
Ricardo Buchanan
CEO

In the only sample I have seen so far, the attachment name is paperwork_scan_7069f18e6.zip containing a malicious script paperwork scan ~1EB91.wsf plus a junk file with a single letter name. This obfuscated script [pastebin] appears to download Locky ransomware. Analysis is pending.

UPDATE

This Hybrid Analysis clearly shows Locky in action. According to my sources there are no C2s, and the download locations are:

Malware spam: "Receipt 103-526" / Receipt.xls

This spam leads to Locky ransomware:

From     rosalyn.gregory@gmail.com
Date     Thu, 29 Sep 2016 21:07:46 +0800
Subject     Receipt 103-526

I cannot tell if there is any body text, however there is an attachment Receipt.xls which contains malicious code [pastebin] that in the case of the sample I analysed downloads a binary from:

opmsk.ru/g76ub76

There will be many other download locations too. Automated analysis [1] [2] shows that this is Locky ransomware phoning home to:

89.108.83.45/apache_handler.php (Agava, Russia)
91.200.14.93/apache_handler.php [hostname: ef4bykov.example.com] (SKS-LUGAN, Ukraine)
xpcwwlauo.pw/apache_handler.php [hostname: vjc.kz] [91.234.33.132] (FOP Sedinkin Olexandr Valeriyovuch aka thehost.ua, Ukraine)

A malicious DLL is dropped with a detection rate of 6/57. Malicious IPs and domains overlap quite a bit with this earlier attack. This version of Locky encrypts files with a .odin extension.

UPDATE - a source indicates these are all the download locations in this attack:

Subject: Temporarily blocked
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 13:37:53 +0400

Dear [redacted]

this is to inform you that your Debit Card is temporarily blocked as there were unknown transactions made today.

We attached the scan of transactions. Please confirm whether you made these transactions.

Malware spam: "Bill for documents" / "Bill for papers" / "Bill for parcel" leads to Locky

This spam leads to Locky ransomware. The sample I have seen have no body text, but have subjects in the format:

 Bill for documents 31564-29-09-2016
 Bill for parcel 08388-28-09-2016
 Bill for papers 657-29-09-2016

Each subject has a random number appended by the date. Attached is a RAR archive file with a name similar to Bill 657-29-09-2016.rar containing a malicious .js script which downloads a binary from one of the following locations (according to a trusted source):

Something evil on 69.64.63.77

This appears to be some sort of exploit kit leveraging hacked sites, for example:

[donotclick]franchidiscarpa[.]com/index.php
--> [donotclick]j8le7s5q745e[.]org/files/vip.php?id=4

You can see this EK infecting a legitimate site in this URLquery report. The IP address appears to be a customer of ServerYou:

OrgName:        MegaHosterNetwork
OrgId:          MEGAH
Address:        Zaporozhskogo kazachestva 15

RegDate:        2012-09-02

Ref:            https://whois.arin.net/rest/org/MEGAH

These other domains are hosted on the same IP:

[donotclick]j8le7s5q745e.org
[donotclick]3wdev4pqfw1u.org

All of those domains are registered to:

Registrant Phone: +7.66473838987
Registrant Phone Ext:

Registrant Email: muromov96@bk.ru

It looks like there might be a fair amount of activity to the IP at the moment, judging by the number of URLquery reports, so it might well be worth blocking.

Malware spam: "Attached:Scan(70)" and others leads to Locky

This fake scanned document leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Attached:Scan(70)
From:     Zelma (Zelma937@victimdomain.tld)
To:     victim@victimdomain.tld;
Date:     Tuesday, 27 September 2016, 14:15 

There does not appear to be any body text. My trusted source tells me that the subject is a combination of the words Attached / Copy / File / Emailing and Document / Receipt / Scan plus a random two-digit number. Attached is a ZIP file with a name similar to the subject, containing a malicious .wsf scriot.

This script then downloads components from one of the following locations:

Evil network: 178.33.217.64/28 et al (evolution-host.com, customer of OVH)

This customer of OVH appears to be registered with fake details, and are distributing malware via a block at 178.33.217.64/28. Currently, the following IPs are distributing some sort of unidentified exploit kit:

178.33.217.64
178.33.217.70
178.33.217.71
178.33.217.78
178.33.217.79

A list of the domains associated with those IPs can be found here [pastebin].

OVH have allocated the IP range to this customer:

organisation:   ORG-JR46-RIPE
org-name:       Jason Reily
org-type:       OTHER
address:        32 Oldfarm Road
address:        GB21DB London
address:        GB
e-mail:         ourbills@evolution-host.com

last-modified:  2016-05-24T18:16:03Z
source:         RIPE

There is no such address in London, the postcode is obviously invalid and the telephone number appears to be an Irish mobile phone. Checking the evolution-host.com domain reveals something similar:

Registrant Name: OWEN PHILLIPSON
Registrant Organization: EVOLUTION HOST
Registrant Street: 24 OLDFARM ROAD
Registrant City: LONDON
Registrant State/Province: LONDON
Registrant Postal Code: SW19 3RQ
Registrant Country: GB
Registrant Phone: +353.851833708
Registrant Phone Ext:
Registrant Fax: +44.7479012225
Registrant Fax Ext:
Registrant Email: info@evolutionhost.co.uk
Registry Admin ID: 

Again, an invalid address with a different street number from before and an Irish telephone number. We can look at evolutionhost.co.uk too..

    Registrant:
        Owen Phillipson

    Registrant type:
        UK Sole Trader

    Registrant's address:
        24 Oldfarm Road
        London
        London
        SW19 3RQ
        United Kingdom

    Data validation:
        Nominet was able to match the registrant's name and address against a 3rd party data
source on 09-Feb-2014

Obviously Nominet's validation process isn't worth rat shit. The Evolution Host website appears to have no contact details at all.

RIPE associates the tag ORG-JR46-RIPE with the following IP ranges, all rented from OVH. I suggest you block all of them:

91.134.220.108/30
92.222.208.240/28
149.202.98.244/30
176.31.223.164/30
178.33.217.64/28

UPDATE

A contact says that IP listed at the beginning of the post are the Neutrino Exploit Kit.

Malware spam: "Tracking data" leads to Locky

This spam has a malicious attachment leading to Locky ransomware:

From:    Loretta Gilmore
Date:    20 September 2016 at 08:31
Subject:    Tracking data


Good afternoon [redacted],

Your item #9122164-201609 has been sent to you by carrier.
He will arrive to you on 23th of September, 2016 at noon.



The tracking data (4fec25a8429fd7485c56c9211151eb42d59b57abf402cc363bc635) is attached.

The sender's name and reference numbers vary. Attached is a randomly named .ZIP file containing a malicious .js script named in the format tracking data ~C503090F~.js (the hexadecimal number is random) plus a junk file with a single-letter name.

Analysis of the attachments is pending.

UPDATE

Hybrid Analysis of various samples [1] [2] [3] [4] shows the script downloading from various locations:

akinave.ru/ckk7y
solenapeak.com/ha4n2
vetchsoda.org/uemmdt
akinave.ru/1e11lhrk

All of these are hosted on:

178.212.131.10 (21 Century Telecom Ltd, Russia)
95.173.164.205 (Netinternet Bilisim Teknolojileri AS, Turkey)

The malware then phones home to the following locations:

91.223.88.205/data/info.php (Anton Malyi aka conturov.net, Ukraine)
176.103.56.105/data/info.php (Ivanov Vitaliy Sergeevich aka xserver.ua, Ukraine)

I have only seen a single sample so far, but I understand that reference numbers and names vary. Attached is a malicious .DOCM file with a name in the format OffOrd_87654321-00-1234567-654321.docm , my trusted source says that the various versions download a component from:

It drops a DLL which had a moderate detection rate earlier. This version of Locky does not communicate with C2 servers, so if you want to block or monitor traffic perhaps you should use the string 67SELbosjc358.

Malware spam: "Express Parcel service" leads to Locky

This spam has a malicious attachment:

From:    Marla Campbell
Date:    19 September 2016 at 09:09
Subject:    Express Parcel service

Dear [redacted], we have sent your parcel by Express Parcel service.

The attachment includes the date and time of the arrival and the lists of the items you ordered. Please check them.


Thank you.

Attached is a randomly named ZIP file containing a malicious .js script in the format Express Parcel service ~0A1B2C~.js with a junk w file that seems to contain nothing.

The Hybrid Analysis for one sample shows a download location of:

178.212.131.10/z3zeg (21 Century Telecom Ltd, Russia)

There are probably others (I'll post them if I get them). The payload appears to be Locky ransomware, phoning home to:

195.64.154.202/data/info.php (Ukrainian Internet Names Center LTD, Ukraine)
46.38.52.225/data/info.php (TCTEL, Russia)
ajsrbomqrrlra.pw/info.php [91.223.88.209] (Private Person Anton Malyi aka conturov.net, Ukraine)

It drops a DLL with a detection rate of 8/54.

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

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

Subject:     Welcoming speech
From:     jeffriesvx@mail2nancy.com
Date:     Friday, 16 September 2016, 3:31

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:

adzebur.com/dsd7gk  [37.200.70.6] (Selectel Ltd, Russia)

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)
95.85.29.208/data/info.php [hostname: ilia909.myeasy.ru] (Digital Ocean, Netherlands)
46.173.214.95/data/info.php (Garant-Park-Internet Ltd, Russia)
91.214.71.101/data/info.php (ArtPlanet LLC, Russia)

Incidentally, the registrant information on the bad domains is also very familiar:

  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
