Moniker "Security Notice: Service-wide Password Reset" mail and t.lt02.net

This email from Moniker shows an impressive combination of WIN and FAIL at the same time.

www.moniker.com    

Moniker

Moniker’s Operations & Security team has discovered and blocked suspicious activity on the Moniker network that appears to have been a coordinated attempt to access a number of Moniker user accounts.

As a precaution to protect your domains, we have decided to implement a system-wide password reset. Please read the below instructions to create a new password. You will not be able to access your Moniker account until these steps are taken.

In our security investigation, we have found no evidence that domains have been lost or transferred out. We also have no evidence that any confidential or credit card information has been compromised.

While our password encryption measures are robust, we are taking additional steps to ensure that your personal data and domains remain secure. This means that, to be absolutely sure of the security of your account, we are requiring all users to reset their Moniker account passwords.
Please reset your password by following the directions below.

1) Go to Moniker.com and click the “Sign In” button in the upper right hand corner of the home page. Select the “Forgot Your Password” link.


2) You will be directed to a page to “Retrieve” your Moniker Account Password. When prompted, enter your account number and click “Submit”.


3) You will be directed to a page that displays the message below. You will receive an email from Moniker. Please follow the instructions in this email to complete the password reset.

As recent events with other large services have demonstrated, this type of activity is becoming more common. We take our responsibility to keep your domains and personal data safe very seriously, and we're constantly enhancing the security of our service infrastructure to protect our customers. We feel it is also important to be clear that we view this as attempted illegal activity and have taken steps to report this to the appropriate authorities.

There are also several important steps that you can take to ensure that your data on any website, including Moniker, is secure:
•    Avoid using simple passwords based on dictionary words
•    Never use the same password on multiple sites or services
•    Never click on 'reset password' requests in emails that you did not request

Thank you for taking the time to read this email. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of having to change your password, but, ultimately, we believe this simple step will result in a more secure experience. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Moniker Support. Our support team is standing by to assist at 800-688-6311 or outside the U.S. and Canada: 954-607-1294.

Full disclosure and prompt action is a WIN. Shit happens, it's often how you deal with it that makes the difference. But wait.. where does the link in the email go to? t.lt02.net? Who the heck are they? And this is where a big dose of FAIL happens.

lt02.net belongs to a company called VertexInternet (vertex.net). This company is not related to Moniker, and bearing in mind that this email is about a potential security breach you might expect people to be a little bit cautious about clicking through those links.

To be fair, the body of the email does suggest going to "moniker.com" (i.e. typing it in the address bar). The mystery of lt02.net is easily explainable too.. VertexInternet run an email marketing system called Listrak which is what is being used to send out the email. The email is legitimate, and presumably it has been done this way for reasons of speed.. the problem is that many people will probably be highly suspicious of this email given the context and that this approach is often used by the Bad Guys.

If you are going to send out a message like this, make sure that all the links go to a site that the recipient would recognise. In this case the sensible option would be to link directly to moniker.com. I'm betting that quite a few people will ignore this message and then wonder why they cannot log into their accounts at a later date.

HP Spam / HP_Scan_06292013_398.zip FAIL

I've been seeing these spams for a couple of days now..

Date:      Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:39:27 -0500 [10:39:27 EDT]
From:      HP Digital Device [HP.Digital0@victimdomain]
Subject:      Scanned Copy

Please open the attached document. This document was digitally sent to you using an HP Digital Sending device.

To view this document you need to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This email has been scanned for viruses and spam.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The is an attachment called HP_Scan_06292013_398.zip. Obviously this is an attempt to deliver malware.. but the attachment is too small to have a payload. Initially I thought that it was some random part of somebody's security infrastructure stripping it off until I got a really clean copy.. and the ZIP file was just 8 bytes:
12 BA E8 AC 16 AC 7B AE
 Another sample version looks like this, with just 6 bytes:
12 BA E8 AC 16 AC
Googling for 12BAE8AC16AC or 12BAE8AC16AC7BAE gets nothing at all (well, except it will now I've blogged about it). Weird, huh?

Something evil on 205.234.139.169

205.234.139.169 (Hostforweb, US) appears to be hosting a bunch of Java exploits being served up on subdomains of hacked GoDaddy domains. The malware looks like it is being served up in some sort of injection attack. Here are some example URLs of badness:

[donotclick]blog2.stefuraassociatesinc.com:6842/ServerAdministrator/keys/pairs/applet.jnlp
[donotclick]blog2.stefuraassociatesinc.com:6842/ServerAdministrator/keys/pairs/contact.php

[donotclick]blog2.stefuraassociatesinc.com:6842/ServerAdministrator/keys/pairs/jfygZbFu

URLquery and VirusTotal are not very conclusive, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.. well, you know the rest.

The following domains appear to be hosted on the server. You should assume that they are all malicious, ones already flagged by Google are marked in  red .

The link in the email goes through a legitimate hacked site but then ends up on a malicious payload at [donotclick]rmacstolp.net/news/fishs_grands.php (report here and here). The payload appears to be the Blackhole Exploit kit, but the site seems to be either not working or (more likely) is being resistant to analysis.

If not called properly, the malware appears to serve up random payload pages.. I think they may be fake ones to evade detection. Here are some of them:

Something phishy on 92.48.75.214

A couple of phishing sites 92.48.75.214 (Simply Transit, UK):

linkedlne.com - LinkedIn / Webmail Phish

This laughable fake LinkedIn login page is trying to harvest webmail addresses, being sent out via a spam message and leading to a link at [donotclick]www.linkedlne.com/login/user/:

From:     Linkedln Support [Support@supportlinkedln.com]
Date:     18 June 2013 06:53
Subject:     You need to confirm your email address.

LinkedIn

We write to inform you that your LinkedIn account has been blocked due to inactivity.

To ensure that your online services with LinkedIn will no longer be interrupted

Click here to unblock your account.

You will be asked to log into your account to confirm this email address. Be sure to log in with your current primary email address.

We ask you to confirm your email address before sending invitations or requesting contacts at LinkedIn. You can have several email addresses, but one will need to be confirmed at all times to use the system.

If you have more than one email address, you can choose one to be your primary email address. This is the address you will log in with, and the address to which we will deliver all email messages regarding invitations and requests, and other system mail.

Thank you for using LinkedIn!

Really this is just phishing for webmail addresses and passwords rather than LinkedIn credentials:



suncoaslfcn.org - Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union phish

Hosted on the same server is an attempted phish for something called the "Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union" which has an actual website at suncoastfcu.org rather than suncoaslfcn.org. The phish page is at [donotclick]sunnet.suncoaslfcn.org/SignIn/ but the phishers have left a full copy of the phishing kit which is available at [donotclick]sunnet.suncoaslfcn.org (more of which in a moment)

There's also an attempted Co-op bank phish which has been reported at [donotclick]co-operativebank.co.uk.suncoaslfcn.org/login/online-access/login.php.

There are two email addresses than can be phone in the phishing site themselves (for research purposes you can download a copy here, password is "phish"). The file verification_data.php reveals two email addresses, jsrh444@188.com and davenport1001@hotmail.com.

A quick bit of Googling around links jsrh444@188.com to the following phishing domains:
cheapflightsreserv.com
mypennystocksprofile.net
pennystocksprofile.net
sunloancom.net

A similar bit of Googling around links the other email address to the following domains:
aicuaee.com
sutherlandhostings.com
rredbulls.info
theclearfund.net

Are OVH finally taking action against spammers?

An interesting announcement from OVH might finally get the spammers on their network under control, especially the ones from India who tend to spam with impunity.

We are carrying out setup tests on the duplication of outgoing email flow.The idea is to duplicate all the traffic created by customers, going out through port 25 (smtp) on an anti-spam network, and then to analyse the sample of emails leaving our network in real time by IP, in order to control
whether the IP sends spam or not. If we detect an IP that does send spam, the aim is to be able to block the flow of (only) port 25, in less than 5 seconds after spam is first detected. All this without affecting the service performance for the customers that do not spam.

In actual fact, we have far too many spam issues and it isn't enough to shutdown the servers a few hours after having detected the spam. It's too late. It must be done in real time and must be able to block the flow in a matter of seconds. So we are thinking of how to successfully cleanse our network of spammers (who can order servers like everyone else, in just a few minutes)
The announcement has an additional note to say that it is in place already:

Comment by OVH - Monday, 17 June 2013, 16:26PM

The duplication of outgoing smtp flow has been set up.

We have 2.5Gbps to analyse in real time.
Spam isn't the only problem that OVH have as they have a significant malware problem too. But perhaps if they can drive the spammers off the network, then some of the black hat resellers that have might move elsewhere too..

Something evil on 85.214.64.153

85.214.64.153 is an IP belonging to Strato AG in Germany, it appears to host some legitimate sites but the server seems to be serving up the Neutrino exploit kit (example) which is being injected into hacked websites (specifically, malicious code is being appended to legitimate .js files on those site).

The follow Dynamic DNS domains are being abused in this attack, while they are not malicious in themselves they are abused so often that I would recommend blocking them anway:
dontexist.com
dvrdns.org
dynalias.org
gotdns.com
gotdns.org
gotdns.com
homeftp.net
mine.nu
podzone.net
selfip.biz
webhop.org

These sites appear to be legitimate, I cannot vouch for them being clean or not:
drachenschutzverein.de
rollenbeck.de
rollenbeck.eu
thefinalcut.eu
thefirstcut.de
triton-world.de

These sites are mostly flagged as malicious by Google, you can see some indicators of badness here and here:

HAIR / Biostem Pump and Dump rakes in the dollars

If like me you've been plagued with pump and dump spam messages for Biostem US Corp (stock ticker HAIR) for the past several days, you might be curious to know if this massive spam run is actually having any impact on the company's share price.


The stock spam started after the close of trading on Friday 7th June 2013 and has continued aggressively ever since. In parallel, the message boards for HAIR were spammed with some fairly obvious attempts to pump up the price, the following screenshot is from the Yahoo! message board.



If we look at a stock chart for Biostem, we can see that something raised the stock price from the $0.21 it had been stuck on for a while (after collapsing from about $1 a share in February) up to $0.36 on the close of business on 10th June, an increase of 71%, before settling at around $0.29 (a 38% increase).

As pointed out here, Biostem is a pretty awful looking stock where the CEO was recently arrested, accounts are overdue and the last reported financial position of the company was dire, so it looks like it is on its last legs. But crucially there seems to be no news of substance about the company, so we can assume that all the stock price movement is purely down to the pump and dump spam.

The usual volume of trade for Biotech (HAIR) stocks is pretty close to zero. From when the markets opened on Monday 10th June to the close of the market on Friday 14th June, over 2.2 million shares were traded when normally we would expect to see a few thousand if that.

There had been bursts of trading activity recently, but the most interesting was a period from 9th May for about 6 trading days when over 1.3 million shares were bought for no particular reason. After that was a period from 20th May when a further 270k shares were purchased, perhaps as speculators sniffed around the company.

We don't know who is behind the pump and dump spam run, but we assume that the spammers are the ones who bought the 1.3 million shares or so after the 9th May. If they manage to dump those shares at the peak they could have made over $200,000. But the spam run didn't stop there, and as of 15th June it is still going on. Why? Presumably because somebody still has shares in the company that they are still trying to offload. In total there are 114.2 million shares, and only 2.2 million (1.9%) of them were traded during that week.

The sad fact of the matter seems to be that pump and dump does seem to have a positive effect on this sort of thinly-traded low-value share price. But the thing is that the spammers have already taken out their positions in the target company, it is almost impossible for a normal investor to make any money out of this because as soon as the spamming starts, then the stock dumping starts as well.

On 195.110.124.133

A couple of days ago I recommended blocking 195.110.124.133 (Register.it, Italy) as a malware C&C server. It turns out that I didn't do enough checking, and this is a parking server with nearly 200k sites on it, mostly for Italian customers.

You might want to unblock the IP and block the domain ftp.videotre.tv.it instead. On the other hand, there is still some actual evil-ness on this server so you may want to keep it blocked, especially if you don't send much traffic in Italy's way.

Yahoo! "We want you back" email mystery

Here's a minor mystery with something that looks very much like a phishing email..

From:     Yahoo! [noreply@email.yahoo-inc.com]

It just looks so much like a phishing email that a sensible person probably wouldn't click on it.. except, the links in the email actually go to Yahoo! and the email has been signed, so this really does appear to be a genuine email.

Except for one thing.. the email address that it was sent to has never been used to register a Yahoo! account. Yup.. something somewhere is not right with this email..

"Scan from a Xerox WorkCentre" spam / Scan_06122013_29911.zip

This fake Xerox WorkCentre spam comes with a malicious attachment and appears to come from the victim's own domain:

Date:      Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:36:16 -0500 [11:36:16 EDT]
From:      Xerox WorkCentre [Xerox.Device9@victimdomain.com]
Subject:      Scan from a Xerox WorkCentre

Please download the document.  It was scanned and sent to you using a Xerox multifunction device.

File Type: pdf
Download: Scanned from a Xerox multi~3.pdf

multifunction device Location: machine location not set
Device Name: Xerox2023


For more information on Xerox products and solutions, please visit http://www.xerox.com
Attached is a ZIP file, in this case called Scan_06122013_29911.zip which in turn contains an executable Scan_06122013_29911.exe. Note that the date is encoded into the filename so future versions will be different.

VirusTotal results are 23/47 which is typically patchy. Comodo CAMAS reports that the malware attempts to phone home to forum.xcpus.com on 71.19.227.135 and has the following checksums:
MD58fcba93b00dba3d182b1228b529d3c9e
SHA154f02f3f1d6954f98e14a9cee62787387e5b072c
SHA256544c08f288b1102d6304e9bf3fb352a8fdfb59df93dc4ecc0f753dd30e39da0c

ThreatExpert has some more information, but the ThreatTrack report [pdf] is more detailed and also identifies the following domains and IPs which are probably worth blocking or looking out for:
71.19.227.135
205.178.152.164
198.173.244.62
204.8.121.24

173.246.106.150
forum.xcpus.com
apparellogisticsgroup.net
ftp.celebritynetworks.com
portal.wroctv.com
ftp.videotre.tv.it
buildmybarwebsite.com

Update: I'd previously listed 195.110.124.133 on the blocklist which is a register.it parking server in Italy. That was probably overkill, you might want to unblock it and block ftp.videotre.tv.it instead.

Is this Guy a moron spammer?

Here's a spam email from somebody I'll call Guy Van Dumbass (not quite his real name, but close enough). Is this Guy a moron spammer? Or does he just hire morons to push his CV through spam?

Directiemedewerker - verantwoordelijke 14 jaar ervaring

Mevrouw, Mijnheer,

Een ervaring van 14 jaar in het beheer van een sociaal juridische en financiële functie heeft mij geleerd in volledige autonomie te werken. Ik heb goede ervaringen verworven welke me vandaag toelaten het volledige beheer van één of meerdere bedrijven tot aan de balans en fiscale aangifte op me te nemen.

Daarenboven, aangezien ik voor een aantal bedrijven met een verschillend juridische statuut en in verschillende sectoren heb gewerkt, heb ik mijn aanpassingsvermogen kunnen ontwikkelen.

Ik beheers meerdere software programma's met betrekking tot het beheer en de boekhouding van bedrijven (VISION, CUBIC, GEBAT pro,…) en ik kan snel operationeel zijn in elk nieuw systeem, uiteraard met opleiding.

Ik ben stipt, georganiseerd en zou mijn competenties ten dienste willen stellen van uw bedrijf, in een functie met verantwoordelijkheid. Ik heb eveneens de smaak van analyse te pakken en ik ben geïnteresseerd in de nodige werkzaamheden nodig in de opvolging van de resultaten van een bedrijf.

Ik nodig U uit om mijn parcours bij het lezen van mijn CV, in bijlage, te ontdekken. Ik kijk ernaar uit om deze te verduidelijken tijdens een onderhoud welke U kunt inplannen volgens de beschikbaarheden in uw agenda. Ik ben immers onmiddellijk beschikbaar wegens stopzetting van mijn huidige werkgever.

In afwachting van een positief antwoord, verblijf ik met vriendelijke groeten,

I won't bother to translate it for you, but Mr Van Dumbass is some sort of accountant. Now, actually I could probably use an accountant to save me the bother of filing my tax return myself but I somehow think that employing him full-time would be rather excessive.

Now, I'm going to be charitable to Mr Van Dumbass and assume that he didn't intend to spam these out to random unsolicited recipients such as myself but has in fact hired a bunch of moron spammers to do the work for him. So who is actually sending out this crap?

The link in the email goes to a page at stats.wew167.com and then bounces to wew-storage.com, specifically a file in wew-storage.com/com_clients/emailbrokers/20130611/GuyCVNL07.06.2013.pdf that I'm not going to link to.These two domains are registered to:

The originating IP is 82.97.29.167, and spamvertised domains are on 82.97.13.103 and 82.97.13.233 (all belonging to TAS France / Emailstrategie).

The danger with hiring a company to "market" you as a personal brand via email is that it can backfire completely, and you could end up like Bernard Shifman. Luckily for Mr Van Dumbass, I haven't felt it necessary to put his real name on this blog to save him the humiliation. This time, anyway..

Malware sites to block 12/6/13

This is a refresh of this list of domains and IPs controlled by what I call the "Amerika" gang, and it follows on from this BBB spam run earlier. Note that IPs included in this list show recent malicious activity, but it could be that they have now been fixed. I also noticed that a couple of the domains may have been sinkholed, but it will do you no harm to block them anyway.

From:      "Amazon.com Customer Care Service" [payments-update@amazon.com]
Subject:      Payment for Your Amazon Order # 104-884-8180383

Regarding Your Amazon.com Order

Order Placed: June 11, 2013

Payment Problem
We're writing to let you know that we are having difficulty processing your payment for the above 
transaction.  To protect your security and privacy, your issuing bank cannot provide us with 
information regarding why your credit card was declined. 

However, we suggest that you double-check the billing address, expiration date and cardholder name 
that you entered; if entered incorrectly these will sometimes cause a card to decline. There is no 
need to place a new order as we  will automatically  try your credit card again.

There are a few steps you can take to make the process faster:  

1. Verify the payment information for this order is correct (expiration date, billing address, etc). 
You can update your account and billing information at : 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/summary/edit.html?ie=UTF8&orderID=104-884-8180383 
 
2. Contact your issuing bank using the number on the back of your card to learn more about their 
policies. Some issuers put restrictions on using credit cards for electronic or internet 
purchases.  Please have the exact dollar amount and details of this purchase when you call the 
bank.  If paying by credit card is not an option, buy Amazon.com Gift Card claim codes with cash 
from authorized resellers at a store near you. Visit www.amazon.com/cashgcresellers to learn 
more.  

Thank you for shopping at Amazon.com.  Sincerely, Amazon.com Customer Service

The link in the email goes through a legitimate hacked site to an intermediate page with the following redirectors:
[donotclick]ftp.blacktiedjent.com/mechanic/vaccinated.js
[donotclick]piratescoveoysterbar.com/piggybacks/rejoiced.js
[donotclick]nteshop.es/tsingtao/flanneling.js

..from there it hits the main malware payload site at [donotclick]goldcoinvault.com/news/pictures_hints_causes.php (report here) hosted on goldcoinvault.com which is a hacked GoDaddy domain hijacked to point at 173.255.213.171 (Linode, US). This same server is very active and has been spotted here and here, also using hacked GoDaddy domains, but right at the moment the malware page appears to be 403ing which is good.

These following domains appear to be pointing to that server:
ccrtl.com

Something evil on 173.255.213.171

As a follow-up to this post, the exploit server on 173.255.213.171 (Linode, US) is hosting a number of hijacked GoDaddy-registered domains that are serving an exploit kit [1] [2]. If you are unable to block 173.255.213.171 then I would recommend the following blocklist:
