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):

The malware then phones home to the following servers:

194.67.208.69/apache_handler.php (Marosnet, Russia)
89.108.83.45/apache_handler.php (Agava, Russia)

Payload detection for the version analysed was 16/56 but there could be an updated payload by now.

Recommended blocklist:

89.108.83.45

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
City:           Zaporozhzhe
StateProv:     
PostalCode:     69097
Country:        UA
RegDate:        2012-09-02
Updated:        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
[donotclick]fg1238tq38le.net

All of those domains are registered to:

Registrant Name: sergey muromov
Registrant Organization: sergey muromov
Registrant Street: veteranov 45-87
Registrant City: sank-tpeterburg
Registrant State/Province: leningradckaya
Registrant Postal Code: 458223
Registrant Country: RU
Registrant Phone: +7.66473838987
Registrant Phone Ext:
Registrant Fax:
Registrant Fax 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
abuse-mailbox:  ourbills@evolution-host.com
phone:          +353.8429143
mnt-ref:        OVH-MNT

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.
