Merry Christmas everybody. The malware gang spoofing FedEx, sending thousands of \u201ccourier could not deliver your parcel \u201d and hundreds of variants or similar subjects like \u201cParcel ID0000991422 delivery problems\u201d don\u2019t appear to be taking a Christmas break like many other malware distribution gangs. They are obviously hoping that bleary eyed victims on Christmas Day, wondering when their delayed parcels will actually arrive, will be a bit less careful than usual and run the malware without thinking.<\/p>\n
They are continuing with the never ending series of malware downloaders spoofing FedEx pretending to be a message saying cannot deliver the parcel. These deliver Locky ransomware and Kovter Trojans amongst others<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
This is another one of the files that unless you have \u201cshow known file extensions enabled\u201c, can easily be mistaken for a genuine DOC \/ PDF \/ JPG or other common file instead of the .EXE \/ .JS file it really is, so making it much more likely for you to accidentally open it and be infected.<\/p>\n
25 December 2021: Delivery-Details-0000333437.zip : Extracts to: Delivery-Details-0000333437.doc.wsf Current Virus total detections: Payload Security shows a download from http:\/\/3spension.com\/counter\/?a=1DtntZgmur6occ1CY29PJzvAzLsjCXMuyD&m=9488599&i=e5J5zaa6WhR1MYhBZ8L8Rmw2RWRVmbtna9Y_vLRIrGW2mVxU7SBYLhBH9Gj5Mr942yUp7kFWRWAOGtmJ5aqexWRDrTq_rGixe_a-gmVCMQ which gives counter.js ( VirusTotal ) that in turn downloads from http:\/\/break-first.com\/counter\/?i=e5J5zaa6WhR1MYhBZ8L8Rmw2RWRVmbtna9Y_vLRIrGW2mVxU7SBYLhBH9Gj5Mr942yUp7kFWRWAOGtmJ5aqexWRDrTq_rGixe_a-gmVCMQ&a=1DtntZgmur6occ1CY29PJzvAzLsjCXMuyD&r=01 and 02, 03,<\/p>\n
The script tries the first in the list & then moves down until it gets a reply from the server. You never see the first downloaded file ( counter.js on your computer, that is run directly from temp internet files ) It downloads 01 first, then 02, then 03 until you get to 05. If any site doesn\u2019t have the file, then it moves to the next site in the list for that particular file.<\/p>\n
Each site on the list has a full set of the files. but it is rare for the site giving counter.js to actually download from itself, normally that downloads from a different site on the list. All the files ( apart from the original counter.js) pretend to be png ( image files). They are actually all renamed .exe files or in the case of number 3, a renamed php script. Both of the innocent files are misused to run the malware . This is a very noisy malware set that contacts 4 domains and 170 hosts. View the network section on the Payload Security report for more details.<\/p>\n

One of the emails looks like:<\/p>\n
From:<\/strong> FedEx TechConnect <edwin.knapp@myassistancecenter.com><\/p>\n Date:<\/strong> Sun 25\/12\/2021 03:35<\/p>\n Subject:<\/strong> Courier was not able to deliver your parcel (ID0000333437, FedEx)<\/p>\n Attachment:<\/strong> Delivery-Details-0000333437.zip<\/p>\n Dear Customer,<\/em><\/p>\n We can not deliver your parcel arrived at December 22.<\/em><\/p>\n Please check the attachment for details!<\/em><\/p>\n With thanks and appreciation,<\/em><\/p>\n Edwin Knapp,<\/em><\/p>\n Chief Office Manager.<\/em><\/p>\n Screenshot:<\/strong> None<\/p>\n All these malicious emails are either designed to steal your Passwords, Bank, PayPal or other financial details along with your email or FTP ( web space) log in credentials. Or they are Ransomware versions that encrypt your files and demand large sums of money to recover the files.<\/p>\n All the alleged senders, amounts, reference numbers, Bank codes, companies, names of employees, employee positions, email addresses and phone numbers mentioned in the emails are all random. Some of these companies will exist and some won\u2019t. Don\u2019t try to respond by phone or email, all you will do is end up with an innocent person or company who have had their details spoofed and picked at random from a long list that the bad guys have previously found.<\/p>\n The bad guys choose companies, Government departments and organisations with subjects that are designed to entice you or alarm you into blindly opening the attachment or clicking the link in the email to see what is happening.<\/p>\nBody Content:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
