Citibank spam / Statement 57-27-05-2013.zip

This fake Citibank email has a malicious attachment:

Date:      Mon, 27 May 2013 23:25:06 +0530 [13:55:06 EDT]
From:      Millard Hinton [leftoverss75@gmail.com]

The attachment Statement 57-27-05-2013.zip contains a malicious executable Statement 57-27-05-2013.exe with a VirusTotal result of 12/46. The Comodo CAMAS report and Anubis report are pretty inconclusive. The ThreatTrack report [pdf] is more comprehensive some peer-to-peer traffic and accessing of the WAB. Simseer's prognosis is that this is a Zbot variant.

For the record, these are the checksums involved:

MD5	0bbf809dc46ed5d6c9f1774b13521e72

The attachment incoming_wire_05242013.zip contains an executable incoming_wire_05242013.exe with a detection rate of 9/47 at VirusTotal. The ThreatTrack report [pdf] and ThreatExpert report show various characteristics of this malware, in particular a callback to the following IPs and domains:

prospectdirect.org (Emailmovers Ltd) spam

Everything that this spammer says is a lie:

From:     Emily Norton [emily.norton@prospectdirect.org]
To:     [redacted]
Date:     21 May 2013 16:33
Subject:     Cater to your email marketing needs
Signed by:     prospectdirect.org

Hello,

I hope you don’t mind but I just wanted to contact you to discuss your email marketing strategy. If you don’t currently have one that is working for you then our client can help.

The company I am contacting you on behalf of have the dedicated knowledge and services to cater to your email marketing needs.

If you would like a quote please complete this form: http://prospectdirect.org/email-marketing-strategy

Leave your details at the link above or reply with any requirements.

Kind Regards,

Emily Norton

75 Glandovey Terrace, Newquay, Cornwall TR8 4QD

Tel: 0843 289 4698

This email (including any attachments) is intended only for the recipient(s) named above. It may contain confidential or privileged information and should not be read, copied or otherwise used by any other person. If you are not the named recipient please contact the sender and delete the email from your system. If you would no longer like to receive emails from us please unsubscribe here http://www.prospectdirect.org/landing/page.php?jq=[snip]

Firstly, the email was send to a scraped address from the website of the Slimeware Corporation and isn't any sort of opted-in address at all. The address of "75 Glandovey Terrace, Newquay, Cornwall TR8 4QD" simply does not exist, and the telephone number of 0843 289 4698 appears to belong to a completely unrelated company. I very much doubt there is anybody called "Emily Norton" involved, and there is no company in the UK with the name "Prospect Direct".

The website prospectdirect.org itself carefully hides any contact details, the WHOIS details are anonymous, the domain was created on 2012-07-19 and is hosted on 109.235.51.98 (Netrouting / Xeneurope , Netherlands). There are no contact details on the website and there is no identifying information at all.. it hasn't just been omitted by accident, the whole thing has been left meticulously clean by a professional spamming outfit.

I would recommend giving these spammers a wide berth given their catalogue of lies.

Update: filling in the request form gets a response from Emailmovers Ltd (emailmovers.com / emvrs.co). More on them soon...

Delivery_Information_ID-000512430489234.zip

The file Delivery_Information_ID-000512430489234.zip is being promoted by a spam run (perhaps aimed at Italian users, although all the hosts are German). I don't have a copy of the email itself, but my best guess is that it is a fake package delivery report.

So far I have identified three download locations for the malicious ZIP file:
[donotclick]www.interapptive.de/get/Delivery_Information_ID-000512453420234.zip
[donotclick]www.vankallen.de/get/Delivery_Information_ID-000512453420234.zip
[donotclick]www.haarfashion.de/get/Delivery_Information_ID-000512430489234.zip

The ZIP file decompresses to Delivery_Information_ID-000512453420234.Pdf_______________________________________________________________.exe (note all those underscores!) which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 23/47 and has the following checksums:

MD5: 791a8d50acfea465868dfe89cdadc1fc
SHA1: be67a7598c32caf3ccea0d6598ce54c361f86b0a
SHA256: 9ae8fe5ea3b46fe9467812cbb2612c995c21a351b44b08f155252a51b81095d7

The Anubis report is pretty inconclusive but ThreatTrack reports [pdf] some peer-to-peer traffic and also some rummaging around the Window Address Book (WAB).

Update:  sandrochka.de appears to be hosting the malicious ZIP as well.

Something evil on 50.116.28.24

50.116.28.24 (Linode, US) is hosting the callback servers for some Mac malware as mentioned here and here plus some other suspect sites. I would advise that you assume that all domains hosted on this IP are malicious, ones that are already marked as malware by Google are highlighted in  red .

"Referral link" spam / rockingworldds.net and parishiltonnaked2013.net

This spam comes from a hacked AOL email account and leads to malware on 62.76.190.11:

From: [AOL sender]
Sent: 17 May 2013 14:12
To: [redacted]
Subject: [AOL screen name]

Subject :RE(8)
Sent: 5/17/2013 2:11:53 PM
referral link
http://printcopy.co.za/elemqi.php?whvbcfm

The link goes through a legitimate hacked site and in this case ends up at [donotclick]rockingworldds.net/sword/in.cgi?6 (report here) which either redirects to a weight loss spam site or alternatively a malware landing page at [donotclick]parishiltonnaked2013.net/ngen/controlling/coupon_voucher.php (report here) which appears to load the BlackHole Exploit Kit. Both these sites are hosted on 62.76.190.11  (Clodo-Cloud / IT House, Russia).

That server contains a number of other suspect domains that I would suggest that you add to your blocklist:
62.76.190.11
bestukdeals2013.net

I have several IPs blocked in the 62.76.184.0/21 range, you may want to consider blocking the entire lot if you don't have any reason to send web traffic to Russia.

HMRC spam / VAT Returns Repot 517794350.doc

This fake HMRC (UK tax authority) spam contains a malicious attachment:

From: noreply@hmrc.gov.uk [mailto:noreply@hmrc.gov.uk]
Sent: 16 May 2013 10:48
Subject: Successful Receipt of Online Submission for Reference 517794350


Thank you for sending your VAT Return online. The submission for reference 517794350 was successfully received on 2013-05-16 T10:45:27 and is being processed. Make VAT Returns is just one of the many online services we offer that can save you time and paperwork.

For the latest information on your VAT Return please open attached report.

The original of this email was scanned for viruses by the Government Secure Intranet virus scanning service supplied by Cable&Wireless Worldwide in partnership with MessageLabs. (CCTM Certificate Number 2009/09/0052.) On leaving the GSi this email was certified virus free.

Communications via the GSi may be automatically logged, monitored and/or recorded for legal purposes.

The attachment is VAT Returns Repot 517794350.doc which contains an exploit which is currently being analysed. It is likely to use the same vulnerability as this attack. VirusTotal results are just 1/46, so either this is something completely new or it is a corrupt sample.

UPDATE: ThreatTrack reports that the malware sample appears to make contact with the following IPs which are all dynamic IP addresses, indicating perhaps a P2P version of Zeus:
62.103.27.242
76.245.44.216
86.124.111.218
92.241.139.165

"Invoice Copy" spam / invoice copy.zip

This fake invoice email contains a malicious attachment:

Date:      Thu, 16 May 2013 00:27:41 -0500 [01:27:41 EDT]
From:      Karen Parker [Kk.parker@tiffany.com]
Subject:      invoice copy

Kindly open to see export License and payment invoice attached,meanwhile we sent the balance payment yesterday.Please confirm if it has settled in your account or you can call ifthere is any problem.ThanksKaren parker

The attachment is invoice copy.zip which in turn contains an executable invoice copy.exe which has an icon to make it look like a spreadsheet. VirusTotal results are a pretty poor 7/45 and indicate that this is a Zbot variant.

The Comodo CAMAS report indicates that the malware seems to be rummaging though address books and gives the following characteristics:

Size	331776
MD5	ebdcd7b8468f28932f235dc7e0cd8bcd
SHA1	a3d251b8f488ef1602e7016cb1f51ffe116d7917
SHA256	4b15971cf928a42d44afdf87a517d229e4aabbb5967cb9230a19592d2b939fe6

The ThreatExpert report and Anubis report are pretty inconclusive. The ThreatTrack report is nicely detailed and gives some details about network connections which I haven't had a chance to analyse yet.

As ever, blocking EXE-in-ZIP files at the perimeter is the best way to guard against this type of threat.

Something evil on 184.95.51.123

184.95.51.123 (Secured Servers LLC, US / Jolly Works Hosting, Philippines) appears to be trying to serve the Blackhole Exploit kit through an injection attack (for example). The payload appears to be 404ing when viewed in the automated tools I am using, but indications are that the malware on this site is still very much live.

The domains on this server belong to a legitimate company, Lifestyle exterior Products, Inc. of Florida who are probably completely unaware of the issue.

These following domains are all flagged by Google as being malicious, and are all based on  184.95.51.123. I would recommend blocking the IP if you can, else the domains I can find are listed below:

exteriorbylifestyle.com

Something evil on 94.242.198.16

I'm not entirely sure what this is, I think it's an injection attack leading to a malware server on 94.242.198.16 (Root SA, Luxemburg) which is using various stealth techniques to avoid detection.

This is what I'm seeing.. code is getting injected into sites referring to [donotclick]fryzjer.me/hpoxqnj.php (report) or [donotclick]stempelxpress.nl/vechoix.php (report) which (if called in the correct way) tries to forward the victim to
[donotclick]ice.zoloni-kemis.info/lyxtp?ftqvixid=94764 or [donotclick]ice.zoloni-kemis.info/lifym?ftypyok=947645 hosted on 94.242.198.16.

VirusTotal reports this as a bad IP, and out of several domains associated with this IP, almost all are red-flagged by Google for malware. The site contains several subdomains of the following domains.. I would recommend the following blocklist:
94.242.198.16
integrate-koleiko.com
integrate-koleiko.org
integrate-koleiko.net
muroi-uroi-loi.info
muroi-uroi-loi.org
muroi-uroi-loi.net

Subdomains spotted include:

ice.zoloni-kemis.info
lopre.integrate-koleiko.org

Bank of America spam / RECEIPT428-586.doc

This fake Bank of America message has a malicious Word document attached:

Date:      Tue, 14 May 2013 10:16:05 +0500 [01:16:05 EDT]
Subject:      Your transaction is completed

Transaction is completed. $51317477 has been successfully transferred.

The attached document is RECEIPT428-586.doc which contains a CVE-2012-0158 / MS12-027 exploit, so a fully patched Windows system should be immune. Further analysis is pending, but the payload is likely to be P2P / Gameover Zeus as found in this attack. VirusTotal detections stand at just 11/46. Further analysis is pending.

"Confidential - Secure Message from AMEX" spam / SecureMail.zip

This fake Amex email has a malicious attachment:

Date:      Tue, 14 May 2013 01:34:36 +0600 [15:34:36 EDT]

There is an attachment SecureMail.zip which in turn contains an executable file SecureMail.exe which has an icon designed to look like a PDF file. VirusTotal results for the malware are just 15/46.

Comodo CAMAS reports the following characteristics and also a connection to a known malware C&C server mail.yaklasim.com on 212.58.4.13 (DorukNet, Turkey).

Size	137216
MD5	20de8bad8bf8279e4084e9db461bd140
SHA1	caacc00d68f41dad9b1abb02f9e243911f897852
SHA256	18e2fc0b9386cadc31fb15cb38d9fa5d274f42b8127b349a14c962329b691ee7

The ThreatTrack report also shows a connection to 212.58.4.13 as well as 62.233.104.156 (IOMART, UK) and several other IPs that may form part of a botnet. Blocking EXE-in-ZIP files at the perimeter is a good move if you can do it. Update: the ThreatExpert report also shows a connection to 116.122.158.195 (Hanaro Telecom, Korea) which is probably also worth blocking.

Something evil on 188.241.86.33

188.241.86.33 (Megahost, Romania) is a malware server currently involved in injection attacks, serving up the Blackhole exploit kit, Zbot and a side order of Cdorked [1] [2].

This IP hosts a variety of domains, some of which are purely malicious, some of which are hijacked subdomains of legitimate ones. Blocking the IP address is the easiest approach, else I would recommend blocking all the domains that are being abused:
