Continuing with the never ending series of malware downloaders is an email with the subject of Fixed invoicescoming or pretending to come from random companies, names and email addresses with a semi-random named zip attachment in the format of inv4665150.zip which delivers Locky ransomware.<\/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<\/a>\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 13 December 2021 : inv4665150.zip: Extracts to: ~_C4RM8B_~.wsf Current Virus total detections<\/a>: MALWR was unable to find any download locations or get any payload. Payload Security<\/a> Also wasn\u2019t able to determine download sites but does show locky ransomware and C2 sites. Update: Payload Security now shows the malware files but hasn\u2019t made them available for download<\/p>\n Manual analysis shows these download locations<\/p>\n buttonart.xyz\/2e9uq One of the emails looks like:<\/p>\n From:<\/strong> Julia Weiss <Weiss.Julia@interfacialsolutions.com><\/p>\n Date:<\/strong> Tue 13\/12\/2021 20:28<\/p>\n Subject:<\/strong> Fixed invoices<\/p>\n Attachment:<\/strong> inv4665150.zip<\/p>\n Dear [redacted],<\/em><\/p>\n Sorry for mistakes in the invoice. The number is 362, the amount came to $289.26.<\/em><\/p>\n Please check out the details in the attachment.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2014<\/em><\/p>\n Best Regards,<\/em><\/p>\n Julia Weiss<\/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>\n Please read our How to protect yourselves page<\/a> for simple, sensible advice on how to avoid being infected by this sort of socially engineered malware.<\/p>\n There are frequently dozens or even hundreds of different download locations, sometimes delivering the exactly same malware from all locations and sometimes slightly different malware versions from each one. Dridex, Locky and many other malwares do update at frequent intervals during the day, sometimes as quickly as every hour, so you might get a different version of these nasty Ransomware or Banking password stealer Trojans to the version we list here.<\/p>\n
