‘Wake on Lan’ site hosts malware

July 3rd, 2009

Until today I did not know what wake on Lan was.  That is until I came upon a site called “reveilpc.com” that I found out.

It’s an interesting feature that lets you remotely turn a computer on by sending ‘magic packets’ (I’m not making this up! lol).

Well, the site first got my attention because it was linking to malware.

wakewake3

The site’s IP address is: 213.246.56.31 and guess what’s in there?

…

A nasty EXE file!!!!

The file is a password stealing Trojan:

Michael Jackson Malware

June 26th, 2009

Only a few hours after Michael Jackson’s death, we are seeing malware using his name to propagate:

mj1

The file’s extension is .scr (normally used by screensavers). The icon looks like an old Windows Media Player file:

mj2

Upon running the file, the following web page opens up:

mj3

The malware opens up two new files:

And this is how it hooks into the system:

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

June 19th, 2009

When I was a kid, I used to love that tale about Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.

They also made a French telefilm with unforgettable Fernandel.

If you wonder why I am reminisicing about the past, it’s because I stumbled upon this:

ali00

It seems the site had closed its door, so I pronounced the magic words “open sesame”.

and to my surprise golden and shiny malware appeared:

ali01

There is a bit of everything, kind of what Ali Baba found:

Nonaco, SillyProxy, Koobface and some new backdoors and trojans.

ali03ali04ali05ali06

Watch out, the site is still live, magic words or not ;-)

Checking out a very obvious one, mac-videos.com. Mac OS X users visiting this site can get infected with Jahlav Trojan.

The sample flies totally under the radar, as shows this VirusTotal screenshot:

mac01

When you think it’s over, here is more from 213.182.197.13:

21318219713as

You can see the fake PornTube sites riddled with malware and, worth pointing out, a social networking site called Vkontakte. It is the equivalent of Facebook in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

It is not the real site though, a little typo, similar designs….

phish11

This, is the legitimate site:

phish2

The trail never seems to end! Fake codecs, illegal adult content, phishing sites… Stay clear off those sites!

419 Scam

June 16th, 2009

This is an example of a 419 scam, also known as Nigerian scam.

It was found by our Office Manager, Marlee.

The scam artist asks you to send money in advance in order to receive a supposedly large lump sum.

Once you send the money in, you will either:

A) never hear from them again

B) need to pay another fee to complete the transaction

If B) works, they will try:

C) another final fee

and so on…

Some people have lost their entire life’s savings by falling victims to this kind of fraud.
