Fake Made-In-China.com sample request email – Phishing
We see lots of phishing attempts for email and other login credentials. The phishers and scammers get ever more creative with their phishing emails and this one is quite different to previous ones I have seen. The email passes all authentication checks and does come from a hacked or otherwise compromised account on acg.edu ( The American College in Greece) which uses Microsoft Outlook.com as its mail sending service.
They use email addresses and subjects that will entice a user to read the email and open the attachment. A very high proportion are being targeted at small and medium size businesses, with the hope of getting a better response than they do from consumers.
You can now submit suspicious sites, emails and files via our Submissions system
Remember many email clients, especially on a mobile phone or tablet, only show the Name in the From: and not the bit in <domain.com >. That is why these scams and phishes work so well.
The email looks like:
From: Made-in-China.com <akolia@acg.edu>

Fake Made-In-China.com phishing email
If you follow the links in the email you first get sent to a compromised website http://www.loreen.nyc/e.php which redirects you to http://breadwinnr.com/legal/made-in-chin-new%20dd/index.html. However this will only happen reliably in Chrome or Firefox. Internet Explorer seems to get hung up on the redirect loop & stays on a blank white page with this content as view source, unless you leave it for about 60 seconds when it does eventually redirect. I think Internet explorer has trouble displaying & using the linked js files, whereas Chrome & FF parse & display them almost instantly.
Once again we are grateful for IE being a bit buggy and not fully standards compliant so the majority of recipients who are using IE will get impatient and not wait for the phishing page to display.
<html><head><META HTTP-EQUIV=”Refresh” CONTENT=”2;URL=http://breadwinnr.com/legal/made-in-chin-new%20dd/index.html”></head><p><p>
</head></body></html>
After you input your email address and password, you get forwarded to the real https://www.made-in-china.com/ site while your details have been silently emailed to the criminal.
There is an open directory on the compromised http://breadwinnr.com/legal/ where the criminal has left the phishing zip kit exposed with all his details & email address(es) to send the stolen information to.

fake made-in-china.com phishing site
We all get very blasé about phishing and think we know so much that we will never fall for a phishing attempt. Don’t assume that all attempts are obvious. Watch for any site that invites you to enter ANY personal or financial information. It might be an email that says “you have won a prize” or “sign up to this website for discounts, prizes and special offers”
Please read our How to protect yourselves page for simple, sensible advice on how to avoid being infected by this sort of socially engineered malware.
All of these emails use Social engineering tricks to persuade you to follow the links or open the attachments that come with the email. Whether it is a message saying “look at this picture of me I took last night” and it appears to come from a friend or is more targeted at somebody who regularly is likely to receive PDF attachments or Word .doc attachments or any other common file that you use every day. Or whether it is a straight forward attempt, like this one, to steal your personal, bank, credit card or email and social networking log in details. Be very careful when unzipping them and make sure you have “show known file extensions enabled“, And then look carefully at the unzipped file. If it says .EXE then it is a problem and should not be run or opened.
