AICPA Spam / favoriteburger.net

Following on from yesterday's AICPA spam run, a new domain is in use for the malicious payload, favoriteburger.net/search.php?page=73a07bcb51f4be71 on 209.59.212.14 (Endurance International Group again). The IP is worth blocking, and you may want to consider blocking larger ranges of this ISP who seem to have a problem with this type of malicious site.

This is on 209.59.221.65 which is the Endurance International Group.. again. There are several malicious IPs in the 209.59.192.0/19 range now, perhaps indicating a deeper problem with this host.

Lazy BBB / "ACH transfer pending" spam, chillestruct.com and closteation.com

Here's a lazy spam about an "ACH transfer" that appears to come from the BBB, because the spammers have mixed up the campaigns.

Date:      Wed, 24 Jan 2012 13:31:58 +0100
From:      "manager@bbb.org" [manager@bbb.org]
Subject:      ACH transfer pending

Dear Sir or Madam,

This message includes a notification about the ACH debit transfer sent on your behalf, that was held by our bank:

Transaction ID: 471209863177939
Transaction status: pending

In order to resolve this matter, please review the transaction details using the link below as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,
Kathy Quirk
Accounting Department

The link in the spam routes through a couple of hacked sites to a malicious payload at chillestruct.com on 173.248.190.37 (Zerigo Inc, California) and closteation.com on 209.59.221.158 (Endurance International, Massachusetts). Wepawet reports are here and here.

Blocking the IPs will prevent any other malicious sites on those servers from causing problems.

BBB Spam / chillebucks.com, sulusize.com and sulusity.com

More fake BBB spam leading to a malicious payload, this time hosted on the domain sulusize.com on 174.136.4.211 (Colo4, US). The server appears to be a legitimate hacked server, but blocking traffic to that IP is probably a wise idea if you can do it.

Some sample emails (the usual fake BBB approach):

The malware tries to download further code from sulusity.com on 209.59.220.65 (Endurance International Group, US).. another one to block. A Wepawet analysis is here.

Update #1:  another version is doing the rounds with the initial malware hosted on chillebucks.com (69.163.37.22, Bula Networks California).

Update #2: The Wepawet analysis indicates that this might do something with the user's Facebook account as well as the usual malware payload.

Wire transfer malicious spam / monikabestolucci.ru:8801 and 78.159.118.226

More malicious spam doing the rounds, but this time it's more complicated than before.

From: accounting@victimdomain.com [mailto:accounting@victimdomain.com]
Sent: 18 January 2012 02:14
Subject: Re: Wire Transfer Confirmation (FED_93711S15719)

Dear Bank Account Operator,
WIRE TRANSACTION: FWD-7563133392175652
CURRENT STATUS: PENDING

Please Review your transaction as soon as possible.

The link goes to a legitimate hacked site containing some heavily obfuscated javascript, in turn this points to monikabestolucci.ru:8801 and then downloads further code from 78.159.118.226/forum/hp.php?i=8 (Netdirect, Germany) - the Wepawet report is here, there also an Anubis report on the binary here.

monikabestolucci.ru is massively multihomed (a raw list is at the end of the post) presumably on legitimate hacked servers.
