The next in the never ending series of malware downloaders from the Necurs botnet is an email with the subject of Message from \u201cG10PR0378651.victimsdomain.com\u201d pretending to come from random names at your own email address or company domain.<\/p>\n
They use email addresses and subjects that will entice, persuade, scare or shock a recipient to read the email and open the attachment.<\/p>\n
Once again the criminal gang sending these have partially shot themselves in the foot, trying to be clever & bypassing filters. The attachment says it is a zip file but is actually a 7z file renamed to zip.<\/p>\n
This has the effect of many extraction tools ( unzipping programs like winzip & windows inbuilt extraction tools) to refuse to unzip it as it has the wrong format for the file extension. Some other extraction tools will extract the vbs files with no problems. Simply renaming .zip to .7z allows windows or WinZip to extract the file.<\/p>\n

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. 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 Previous campaigns over the last few weeks have delivered numerous different download sites and malware versions. There are frequently 5 or 6 and even up to 150 download locations on some days, sometimes delivering the exactly same malware from all locations and sometimes slightly different malware versions.<\/p>\n
