New e-mail scam targeting Colombian Internet users: This time claiming to be from the Transport authority
by Manuel Humberto Santander Pelaez (Version: 1)
Scams keep coming! This time there were many uses from all across the country targeted by this e-mail scam claiming to be a notice of traffic ticket from the Transport Authority.
Two links were provided in the e-mail: http://www.mcc-instrumentation.com/videos/Ver_Documento_ID_23452345212234_VER_Cod_2345234723497.html and http://www.la-cloture-electrique.fr/upload/Ver_Documento_ID_23472893475987980798072344_VER_Cod_2234523345234723497.html. Both of them redirects to the file Aviso-Multas_DOC.exe, with MD5 d554f70ce28470350269d8e6778127e3. Once executed, it downloads the following files:
File | MD5 |
atu.exe | 1466d43e8ae62af74a83eb81094c7c25 |
ky.exe | 974f4ceaca680fe4572a0e050fc851db |
wrm.exe | e63c7844a75df064d78f1894e6f673bb |
The exe files read all the TCP/IP registry parameters. After that, it connects to some servers to report to some kind of a botnet:
One of the reports seems to be sent by mail, because the php script where the program reports gets a warning:
As of today, there are other servers that have removed the offending PHP scripts sending a 404 error to the program. No further action is taken by the program and it becomes resident by creating entries on HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Run
Have you seen this kind of packets in your network? Let us know!
