Merry Christmas everybody. I was quite surprised to receive this email pretending to come from UPS.com saying \u201cYour UPS Invoice Is Ready\u201d on Christmas Eve, especially as it is a Sunday. These generally are sent to businesses on a working day to get the most benefit. I suppose they could be sending them out today knowing that almost all business in English speaking countries worldwide are closed until Wednesday, so when workers return, they might be less careful and consequently open and run the attachment without thinking. It contains a java adwind<\/a> or Java JRAT attachment. Many Antiviruses on Virus Total detect these heuristically.<\/p>\n This is a very well crafted email and malware campaign and will fool a lot of recipients, if it gets past their email filters<\/em>. Especially if windows is using the default setting to Hide known file types<\/a>. All the links in the email do go to the genuine UPS website.<\/p>\n UPS.com has not been hacked or had their email or other servers compromised. They are not sending the emails to you. They are just innocent victims in exactly the same way as every recipient of these emails.<\/p>\n This particular Java Adwind \/ JRAT version is one of the most aggressive that I have seen in a long time. As you can see from the online sandbox reports, it tries to stop many security programs, network monitoring tools and several windows services including taskmanager. It does this in 2 ways. Firstly using taskkill to stop the running process, then adding an Image File Execution Options \/ debugger to stop the programs running at all. It also uses Regedit to change several of the default registry settings to lower the security settings of windows and allow high risk files to be downloaded, saved and run without warnings.<\/p>\n Make Note: Java Adwind \/ Java Jacksbot<\/a> are both very dangerous remote access backdoor Trojans, that have cross OS capabilities and can potentially run and infect any computer or operating system including windows, Apple Mac, Android and Linux. It however can only be active or infect you if you have Sun \/ Oracle Java installed. Along with most security professionals, I strongly urge you to uninstall java and not use it, unless you have a pressing need for it. The majority of domestic ( home ) users and small businesses have no need for Java on their computers. This Article<\/a> from a couple of years ago explains why you should remove it. If you cannot remove it then it must be kept up to date and be extremely careful with what you download or open.<\/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 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. Hi security@myonlinesecurity.co.uk<\/em> Received: from [107.178.104.102] (port=50409 helo=ups.com) These malicious attachments have a password stealing component, with the aim of stealing your bank, PayPal or other financial details along with your email or FTP ( web space) log in credentials. Many of them are also designed to specifically steal your Facebook and other social network log in details.<\/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.<\/p>\n 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 pag<\/a>e for simple, sensible advice on how to avoid being infected by this sort of socially engineered malware.<\/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>\nYou can now submit suspicious sites, emails and files via our Submissions system<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\nNone of the companies mentioned in the body of the email been hacked or had their email or other servers compromised. They are not sending the emails to you. They are just innocent victims in exactly the same way as every recipient of these emails.
