Fake jobs: all-cajobs.com, all-ukjobs.com and alleur-positions.com

Here we go again.. three new domains that form part of this long-running scam.

all-cajobs.coma
all-ukjobs.com
alleur-positions.com

The "jobs" offered are actually illegal activities such as money laundering. You may note that the email appears to come from yourself (here's why).

The domains are registered to a no-doubt fake registrant:

    Hose Sanches
    Email: hosesancges@yahoo.com
    Organization: Hose Sanches
    Address: Campo Grande, 83 1749-812
    City: Lisboa
    State: Lisboa
    ZIP: 1749-812
    Country: PT
    Phone: +35.1217982140

If you have any examples of emails soliciting replies to these domains, please consider sharing them in the Comments. Thanks!

SMS Spam: loanslineuk.co.uk / Gary McNeish

Here's an annoying SMS spam sent from +447979520064:
Short on Cash? Need a payday loan? 100% Apps Processed. Up to £750 today. Apply now at www.loanslineuk.co.uk to Opt Out Rply stop
We can easily identify the owner of loanslineuk.co.uk from their WHOIS records:


Domain name:
        loanslineuk.co.uk

    Registrant:
        gary mcneish

    Registrant type:
        Unknown

    Registrant's address:
        flat 3 11a whitworth street
        opal house
        manchester
        M1 3GW
        United Kingdom

loanslineuk.co.uk simply forwards to moneyfix.co.uk via an affiliate link: www.moneyfix.co.uk/Default.aspx?AID=TETRUS&SAID=MONEYFIX_JPD_PARTNER1

The word "TETRUS" in the link is a clue. We can also see Gary McNeish's address on the domain for tetr.us.. well, we could before it was re-registered to an address in the Seychelles:

Registrant ID:                               CR17598876
Registrant Name:                             gary mcneish
Registrant Address1:                         flat 3 11a whitworth street
Registrant Address2:                         opal house
Registrant City:                             manchester
Registrant State/Province:                   lancashire
Registrant Postal Code:                      m1 3gw
Registrant Country:                          United Kingdom
Registrant Country Code:                     UK
Registrant Phone Number:                     +7.799764944
Registrant Email:                            gary@tetrustelecoms.com
Registrant Application Purpose:              P1

If we look at the domain registration for tetrustelecoms.com we see the bogus address:

    tetrus, tetrus  serialsniper@gmail.com
    tetrus
    capital city, lancashire M35 0AE
    SC
    +66.838273350

There can't be many people called Gary McNeish in Manchester, but oddly enough it isn't the same Gary McNeish who was fingered for a fake Data Protection scam in 2002, but this Gary McNeish (Gary John Peter McNeish) was mentioned by the Daily Telegraph recently in an article called "For sale: your mobile phone number" which questioned the way that Mr McNeish obtained telephone numbers for leads.

According to Companies House, Tetrus Ltd was dissolved on 22/3/11, so it should no longer be trading.

If you get one of these, you should forward the spam to your carrier. In the came of T-Mobile, O2 and Orange the number to report to is 7726 ("SPAM"). Vodafone customers should use 87726 ("VSPAM") and Three customers should use 37726 ("3SPAM"). Hopefully the carriers will act if there are enough complaints.

Added: The Slough Times has some more background information here.

Several AdWords phishing sites at Prolexic

Prolexic is an anti-DDOS specialist hosting firm with a reputation for being one of the good guys. It's a bit of a surprise to see Google AdWords phishing sites on a Prolexic server, hopefully they won't be there for long.

The phishing messages look something like this:

From: Google AdWords
Subject: Google AdWords: You have a new alert.

It's difficult to know just how many phishing sites are on this server, however the following can be identified:

Sites appear to be hosted on 72.52.4.95 along with thousands of legitimate sites. All the domains have been registered in the past few days with hidden domain registrations.

Something evil on 46.16.240.13

There's something evil on 46.16.240.13 that forms part of a banking trojan. Whatever the trojan is, it sends traffic to a set of randomly generated domains with a url ending in pontis.com/index.php.

Most of these domains aren't registered at present, but a few are and they live on 46.16.240.13 with nameservers at 46.16.240.14 and 46.16.240.15. This IP belongs to iNet in the Ukraine.. I suggest blocking 46.16.240.0/24 completely as every site I have ever seen there has been malicious.

These domains seem to be active (a full list is at the end of the post including some inactive ones):

Fake jobs: firstjob-market.com, tech-newposition.com and ukjob-market.com

Three new fake job domains today, apparently forming part of this long running scam.

firstjob-market.com
tech-newposition.com
ukjob-market.com

Emails send soliciting replies to these domains may appear to come from your own email address (here's why). The so-called jobs being offered are actually criminal activities such as money laundering.

The no-doubt-fake registrant details are:

    Lucia Geleca
    Email: lucpolema@yahoo.fr
    Organization: Lucia Geleca
    Address: 12 rue des Camelias
    City: Alfortville
    State: Alfortville
    ZIP: 94141
    Country: FR
    Phone: +33.0148934367

Although the address is genuine, it almost definitely bogus.

If you have any examples of spam emails "from" these domains, please consider sharing them in the Comments. Thanks!

The email has been sent to an address harvested from the Epsilon data breach. That's not surprising.. what is surprising is that it has been sent through a UK company that specialises in selling mailing lists and sending bulk commercial email. Perhaps dealing in stolen data is an honest mistake, but perhaps the ICO would like to make that determination.

DNS resolution for this site seems to flip between 87.106.104.178 [1&1, UK] and 122.224.4.108 [Ninbo Lanzhong Network Ltd, China]. Of these, the Chinese address is the most interesting with the follow slimeware domains hosted:

SMS Spam: "Due to a new legislation, those struggling with debt .."

Some sort of debt management spam this time. You can bet that these people will probably charge a lot for their services, and dealing with spammers is usually a bad idea in any case.
Due to a new legislation, those struggling with debt can now apply to have it written off. For Free information reply INFO or to opt-out text stop. Free Text!
In this case, the spam originated from +447977237820 although these numbers change regularly.

If you get one of these, you should forward the spam to your carrier. In the came of T-Mobile, O2 and Orange the number to report to is 7726 ("SPAM"). Vodafone customers should use 87726 ("VSPAM") and Three customers should use 37726 ("3SPAM"). Hopefully the carriers will act if there are enough complaints.

There's a good article about protecting yourself from unscrupulous debt management companies here.

Fake jobs: hire-position.com and work-position.net

Two new fake job domains with a twist, possibly the same scammers who are behind this long-running spam/scam campaign.

hire-position.com
work-position.net

Domains were registered just yesterday via a Russian registrar to an address in Spain which is most likely fake:

    Ivan Gonsalez
    Email: ivan4gonzalez@yahoo.es
    Organization: Ivan Gonsalez
    Address: P. de Extremadura 151
    City: Madrid
    State: Madrid
    ZIP: 28011
    Country: ES
    Phone: +34.914641145 

This rabbit hole goes a bit deeper than usual, because the ivan4gonzalez@yahoo.es email address has been used before, for the domain girsland.ru

domain: GIRSLAND.RU
nserver: ns1.strategy-recruiting.org.
nserver: ns2.strategy-recruiting.org.
state: REGISTERED, DELEGATED, UNVERIFIED
person: Private Person
e-mail: ivan4gonzalez@yahoo.es
registrar: REGTIME-REG-RIPN
created: 2011.07.26
paid-till: 2012.07.26
source: TCI

Girsland.ru has a reputation for being spammy and it looks like a typical romance scam site. As with hire-position.com and work-position.net, it's odd that a Spanish address is being used for domains that are either Russian TLD or are being registered through a Russian registrar.

Girsland.ru is hosted on 173.234.8.215 at Ubiquity Server Solutions Atlanta, although it looks like the IP block might be rented out to a company called Nobis Technology Group LLC in Arizona.There are some nasty things going on in that IP neighbourhood according to SiteVet.

What else can we find on 173.234.8.215? It turns out that there's a rich vein of nastiness here.

dfrgcc.com injection attack in progress

Thousands of sites are currently being hit by an injection attack pointing to dfrgcc.com/ur.php a domain registered to someone using the infamous hotmailbox.com domain for email.

   JamesNorthone
   James Northone jamesnorthone@hotmailbox.com
   +1.5168222749 fax: +1.5168222749
   128 Lynn Court
   Plainview NY 11803
   us

The site is hosted on 188.229.88.103 which is the equally infamous Netserv Consult SRL in Romania. 188.229.88.103 hosts the following sites:

bookfula.com
bookgusa.com
bookmonn.com
bookmono.com
booknunu.com
bookvila.com
bookzula.com
dfrgcc.com
file-dl.com
xxxtubes8.com


These domains are pretty familiar, having previously been hosted in Lithuania. This marks them out as the same people behind the infamous LizaMoon attack.

Netserv Consult SRL host a wide variety of bad sites. Blocking 188.229.0.0/17 (188.229.0.0 - 188.229.127.255) will probably do you no harm.

Thursday 22 September 2011

Evil network: Relikts BVK / Sagade Ltd (46.252.130.0/23)

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Fake jobs: totaljob-us.com

Another fake job offer, part of this long-running series of spam/scam emails.

From: Spam Victim
Sent: 21 September 2011 20:18
To: Spam Victim
Subject: Current Vacancy

Urgente!

Sus datos personales favor enviar al correo electronico: Ana@totaljob-us.com

En espera de sus curriculums,  Ana Sykes

The email appears to come "from" the spam victim (here's why). The domain was registered just yesterday to an "Alexey Kernel" at a fake address in the Ukraine.

Some other "reply to" addresses are:
Casandro@totaljob-us.com
Gad@totaljob-us.com
Prospero@totaljob-us.com
Martirio@totaljob-us.com
Guy@totaljob-us.com
Melvis@totaljob-us.com
Muneca@totaljob-us.com

Subjects include "Current Vacancy", "Job Offer - Flexible Hours", "Get a New Job Today", "Current Open Position", "Administrative Assistant Vacancy" and "Employment Opportunity". Oddly, the subject is in English even though the body of the message is in Spanish.

The jobs offered will be money laundering and other illegal activities. If you have any samples that are different, please consider sharing them in the Comments. Thanks!

dossier-ua.com Joe Job

dossier-ua.com is a site that is critical about politics in the Ukraine, and names several individuals and governmental bodies in connection with alleged wrongdoing.

Obviously, they have upset somebody because there is currently a Joe Job campaign against the site, presumably in an attempt to have the site shut down:

Subject: {Snuff filmes|Snuff films}
From: david -at- davidbreach.co.uk
Reply-To: dossieruacom -at- gmail.com

{Hi!|Hello!|Good day!}
You can {see|watch|download} child {pron|porn} and snuff {filmes|films} now for free and without registration.
Just email us what do you want to see (child {pron|porn} or some snuff {filmes|films}) and we will
send you back what did you ordered. Only hardcore cam murders, children fukcing,
awesome bloody maniacs and vrigins may brind you a lot of brillian hours! This is
happened in reality and no any montage so be the one who seen this!

http://dossier-ua.com/?p=852

Contact us to pay for pron:
politblok -at- gmail.com

In this case, the email came from a server called davidbreach.co.uk, a wholly legitimate domain that appears to have been hacked, hosted at Node 4 in the UK. The mail originates from 93.174.141.52 (also Node 4). An examination of the mail headers indicates that it may originally have come from 151.16.60.68, an IP address in Milan, probably a compromised PC.

Dossier-ua.com is a political blog. There is no evidence at all that it is involved in distributing pornography or illegal material. If you receive an email of this nature, you should report it to the abuse address of the sender's IP, it is probably not worth bothering dossier-ua.com's web host.

Evil network: RONET / ro-net.eu (91.229.90.0/23)

RONET (aka. ro-net.eu) seems to be a new netblock occupying the 91.229.90.0/23 (91.229.90.0 - 91.229.91.255) range. This block has several sites recently moved from Netserv Consult SRL (who have a very bad reputation), all of which appear to be involved in criminal activity.

Although the number of sites is very low at present (just 30), the use of a /23 block indicates the perhaps this will be used for more sites very soon. Blocking 91.229.90.0/23 preemptively would probably be an excellent idea.

Here are some examples of evilness:

bywordelectronics.com [91.229.90.11]
Money mule scam / fake jobs [1] [2] [3] [4]

admagnet1.com [91.229.90.35]
Malware distribution [5] [6] [7]

eyebluster-sv1.com [91.229.90.37]
Malware distribution [8]  [9]

Other domains are registered with fake WHOIS details which is never a good sign.

The 91.229.90.0/23 range is registered to:

Of note is the fact that ro-net.eu was only registered two weeks ago with anonymous registration details. Also, note that although the address is in Hungary, the RONET name would indicate that it still has a ROmanian connection.

Another oddity is that the network announces itself as part of AS17088 which is allocated to Currenex, Inc. There seems to be no connection at all between Currenex, Inc and RONET, so perhaps this is an error or some kind of forgery.

Fake jobs: careers-consult.com, europe-career.com and usa-newcareer.com

Three new domains used to adveritise bogus jobs (which will actually be money laundering or other criminal activities)

careers-consult.com
europe-career.com
usa-newcareer.com


The approach is the same as the domains registered two days ago, and indeed this has been going on for several years. The spam may appear to come from your own email address (here's why).

If you have any sample emails using this domain to solicit replies, please consider sharing them in the Comments. Thanks!

Thursday 15 September 2011

Fake jobs: ca-jobcareer.com, uk-jobcareer.com and usa-jobcareer.com

Three new domains offering fake jobs, targeting US, UK and Canadian victims:

ca-jobcareer.com
uk-jobcareer.com
usa-jobcareer.com

The "jobs" on offer are typically money laundering and other illegal activities, and form part of this long running scam. The emails may appear to have been sent from your own account (here's why).

The domains were registered two days ago to "Alexey Kernel" in Kiev, although this is probably a fake name and address.

If you have samples of spam emails using these domains, please consider sharing them in the comments. Thanks!

Some fake Bundeskriminalamt and Bundespolizei sites

Here are some more fake sites pretending to be the Bundeskriminalamt and Bundespolizei (agencies of the German Federal Police) which are probably worth blocking, following on from these.

193.105.240.204 [Sia Vps Hosting, Latvia]
bundespolizei-de.net
bundespolizei-de.org
bundespolizei-online.com
dpolg-bundespolizei.org
inter-bundeskriminalamt.org

77.87.229.14 [Invalid pointer to bundespolizei.de]
inter-bundeskriminalamt.eu
dpolg-bundespolizei.org [also on 193.105.240.204]
inter-bundeskriminalamt.org [also on 193.105.240.204]

211.154.153.49 [China Motion Network Communication]
agentbundeskriminalamt.net
bundeskriminalamtde.net
onlinebundeskriminalamt.net
torrentbundeskriminalamt.net

Note that 77.87.229.14 is actually the real IP for bundespolizei.de, but the scammers are pointing their DNS records to it, presumably to cause confusion.

You can safely block access to 193.105.240.0/24 (Sia VPS) without much fear of losing anything important. The Chinese netblock is more mixed, but blocking at least 211.154.153.49 might be a good idea if you are in Germany.

Injection attack: malavasso.com, migraviro.com and montenegrorio.com

Three more domains being used in injection attacks today:

malavasso.com
migraviro.com
montenegrorio.com

The payload is the Sinowal trojan. Malicious software is hosted on 95.64.45.43 which is well-known very dark grey hat host Netserv Consult SRL of Romania. Blocking 95.64.0.0/17 (95.64.0.0 - 95.64.127.255) will probably do no harm.

The (possibly fake) registrant for these domains is:
Registrant Contact:

bundespol.com is not the Bundespolizei

Another fake Bundespolizei today, bundespol.com is registered through  a Chinese registrar and then is anonymised through a Chinese WHOIS privacy service

The site doesn't resolve yet, but it is almost identical to bundespol.net which is fingered in this attack. In that case, the fake Bundespolizei site was hosted on 188.229.97.2 which is Netserv Consult SRL in Romania (incidentally, blocking 188.229.0.0/17 will probably do you no harm).

There's a whole bunch of fake Bundespolizei at the moment, but I'm guessing that this particular bunch of scammers may well try the same thing in other countries very soon.

Tuesday 13 September 2011

Injection attack: cbchhuacyus.com, ibccmsuiyus.com and wbccmquwyus.com

There is currently a Sinowal injection attack doing the rounds, redirecting traffic to the following domains on 46.165.192.97:

cbchhuacyus.com
ibccmsuiyus.com
wbccmquwyus.com

There may well be other domains on the same server, blocking traffic to 46.165.192.97 would probably be prudent. The payload is being analysed (I will post an update later), but detection rates are not good.

Fake "internationalservicecheck.com" email

International Service Check (internationalservicecheck.com) is a legitimate mystery shopping company based in Germany. This email claims to come from International Service Check, but does not and it will be some sort of mystery shopping scam instead.

We hold a strong belief in the fact that nothing is more important than the customers perceptions and this can
only be realized using "real consumers" (YOU) to perform evaluations. The same cannot be said for using
industry insiders or people from within the company, as their opinions are naturally subjective and biased. The
only opinions that count are ones of real consumers since they are the ones making purchases.

You will be required to interact with the shop clerk.

The email originates from a server at 70.32.113.152 which belongs to Fivecube Pte in Singapore (the server is physically in California), although most likely this is either a compromised server or a customer. An examination of the mail headers indicate that it may originate from 69.92.92.47, a Cable One subscriber in Seminole, Oklahoma. The Reply-To address is adele.green@aol.com althought this is probably fake, so do not assume that it really is someone of that name behind it.

bundespolizei-online.com is not the Bundespolizei

bundespolizei-online.com is a fake domain pretending to be the Bundespolizei (German Federal Police). It appears to be part of a malware scam that has been around for a while, where the victim is told that they have done something illegal and need to pay a fine to the police.

The text of the message might vary, but the last scam domain  was used in conjunction with a message that read:

Es ist ungesetzliche Tätigkeit enthüllt
Achtung!!!

A €100 fine for terrorist likes and download child pornography? Obviously this is nonsense, but the victim might well try to pay to get rid of the trojan.

The bundespolizei-online.com is quite interesting to look at. First, there is the WHOIS record:

    Steffen Schüssler
    Email: t-mart-admin@teiekom.de
    Organization: Hostmaster T-Systems
    Address: Vahrenwalder Strasse 240-247
    City: Hannover
    State: Hannover
    ZIP: 30159
    Country: DE
    Phone: +49.43171633486
    Fax: +49.43171633486

It looks legitimate enough. T-Systems is the hosting division of Deutsche Telekom, and the email address looks legitimate at first glance.. but wait, it says teiekom.de and not telekom.de which can't be right.

The domain is registered through the Russian registrar Regtime Ltd. The site bundespolizei-online.com is hosted on 193.105.240.204 in Latvia. Latvia is pretty much a hotbed of crime, and the AS12578 block has a pretty bad reputation, and the whole 193.105.240.0/24 range looks quite toxic. As is common with malicious sites such as this, all the mail is handled by Google.

So.. if you see a message soliciting an email reply to bundespolizei-online.com or running on the same website then it is malware, and you should try to disinfect your machine using up-to-date antivirus software, or you could try following the instructions here.
