Malware spam: "Important Information" leads to Locky

This spam leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Important Information
From:     Etta Figueroa
Date:     Friday, 25 November 2016, 10:28

Dear [redacted], your payment was not processed due to the problem with credentials.
Payment details are in the attached document.

Please check it out as soon as possible.

The name of the sender varies. Attached is a ZIP file beginning with payment_ and then the first part of the victim's email address.

This analysis comes from my trusted usual source (thank you!). It contains a randomly-named malicious javascript that downloads a component from one of the following locations:

This morning's spam run has a subject with one of the following words:

..plus a four digit random number. Attached is a ZIP file with a name mating the subject, containing a randomly-named malicious javascript that attempts to download a component from one of the following locations:

Malware spam: "financial records subpoena" / lawfirmofoklahoma.com

This spam purports to come from Michael T Diver who is a real Oklahoma attorney, but it doesn't really and is jut a simple forgery:

From:    MICHAEL T. DIVER [michael -at- lawfirmofoklahoma.com]
Date:    23 November 2016 at 15:24
Subject:    RE:RE: financial records subpoena

See you in court !!!

Subpoena for server

Thank you,

MICHAEL T. DIVER

T (405) 608-4990

F (405) 608-4991

The telephone number and also potentially the email address are genuine, but they are certainly not being sent from this law firm.

The link in the email goes to a legitimate but hacked Vietnamese site at techsmart.vn/backup2/get.php?id=[base64-encoded-part] (the last bit is a Base 64 representation of the victim's email address).

In testing the payload site was down, but previous emails of this type have lead to the Vawtrak banking trojan.

Moar Locky: "Bill-12345" from victim's own domain

This spam has no body text and appears to come from within the sender's own domain. It leads to Locky ransomware. For example:

From:    julia newenham [julia.newenham@victimdomain.tld]
Date:    23 November 2016 at 10:44
Subject:    Bill-76137

Malware spam "Please Pay Attention" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Please Pay Attention
From:     Bill Rivera
Date:     Wednesday, 23 November 2016, 9:45

Dear [redacted], we have received your payment but the amount was not full.
Probably, this occurred due to taxes we take from the amount.
All the details are in the attachment - please check it out.

The name of the sender will vary. In the sample I analysed, a ZIP file was attached with a filename beginning
lastpayment_ followed by the first part of the recipients email address. This archive contains a randomly-named malicious .JS script that looks like this.

This particular script (and there will be others) downloads a malicious component from one of the following locations:

nielsredeker.nl/gmcoirnrm
gurlfanam.net/krwjx
vedicmotet.com/61y7mljr4
praam.cz/iessl
nightpeople.co.il/xklqq33nr

According to this Malwr report a malicious DLL is dropped with an MD5 of def0d0070d4aed411b84ebd713fd8b92 and a detection rate of 6/56.

The Hybrid Analysis clearly shows the ransomware in action and shows it communicating with the following URLs:

95.213.186.93/information.cgi [hostname: djaksa.airplexalator.com] (Selectel, Russia)
195.123.209.8/information.cgi [hostname: kostya234.itldc-customer.net] (Layer6, Latvia)
213.32.66.16/information.cgi (OVH, France)
