The Winlock numbers, the Winlock laws
pWhile Eugene#8217;s a href=http://www.securelist.com/en/blog/299/The_Winlock_case_I_m_taking_betsbusy/a taking bets (wonder how much he#8217;s going to make?), I#8217;ve been having a think about the Winlock case./pppRussian law enforcement is estimating that the bad guys could have raked in as much as $1 billion. While it#8217;s difficult to be certain about the exact amounts involved (obviously they spread their money across a lot of different accounts to avoid attracting attention), a little bit of simple math makes me think this figure isn#8217;t as crazy as it might sound./pbrpOur statistical analysis tells us there could be around a million people who#8217;ve been infected. 10 cybercriminals, each getting a cut of a ransom between $10 and $30 - even though they were paying out $3 per infection to the people willing to spread this malware, the numbers add up pretty quickly. /p

Understanding Current Trends in the Fake Anti-Virus/Scareware Ecosystem
The cyber-criminal groups behind fake anti-virus (scareware/rogueware) infections have run into some significant roadblocks over the last few years, but there is much more to the overall story.brbrbrSome groups have been arrested. Some have had their operations and entire call support centers bra title=Large Fbi Scareware Ring Bust href=http://chicago.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel10/cg052710.htm target=_blankshut down/a. brbrSome groups attracted too much attention, picked off bra title=Conficker/Kido Downloads SpywareProtect2009 href=http://www.securelist.com/en/blog/208187654/The_neverending_story target=_blankthe low hanging fruit/a and eventually walked away from their botnets. brbrIn some cases, the groups just a title=MonaRonaDona Unigray FakeAV Scam href=http://www.securelist.com/en/blog/208187485/MonaRonaDona_malware target=_blankweren't very skilled /abrat developing anti-anti-malware techniques, blackhat SEO, and malware distribution. They couldn't keep up with the changes in anti-malware technologies, a title=MonaRonaDona Unigray FakeAV Scam href=http://www.prevx.com/blog/82/MonaRonaDona--We-might-be-in-the-AV-industry-but-at-least-we-arent-STUPID.html target=_blankbrweren't exactly dedicated /ato the effort, and simply fell off the map.brbrbrHowever, some of the remaining scareware distribution gangs upped the ante and are aggressively developing difficult-to-detect polymorphic installers and difficult-to-remove support components. And the newest of these malware components include some of the first ITW 64-bit malware components to be taken seriously. But, for the most part, the scareware program itself remains the same. The development continues to change and progress, all for the purpose of evading anti-malware solutions and helping coerce the end-user to pay for the fake product, including support/rootkit components like a title=Exhaustive TDSS Securelist Analysis href=http://www.securelist.com/en/analysis/204792131/TDSS target=_blankTDSS/a (and its extreme complexities) or the more recent Black Internet (also known as Trojan-Clicker.Win32.Cycler) support/rootkit components. These complex Mbr infectors and other rootkit components meant to maintain money-making scareware on the system are signs of this somewhat extreme development effort.brbr

The Winlock case - I'm taking bets!
pInteresting news on Trojan SMS Blockers (Winlock etc). These programs block Windows and demand a ransom in the form of a text message which is sent to short number for a fee. It's a very popular type of racket at the moment, both in Russia and a few other countries. /pbrpThe whole affair has now reached the General Prosecutor#8217;s office of Russia ndash; the criminals have been identified and detained (or so it seems) and will be prosecuted in Moscow soon./pppAltogether the criminals have earned an estimated 790,000 roubles, or $25K. Moreover, they have caused other damages by blocking or crashing a yet to be determined number of personal and company PCs. Very often people have needed to re-install the OS and all software and then restore data from backups - even after paying the ransom./pbrp class=ca href=http://www.securelist.com/en/images/pictures/klblog/2273.png target=_blankimg src=images/pictures/klblog/2273.png border=0 width=400 height=288 alt=''/a/pbrp class=ca href=http://www.securelist.com/en/images/pictures/klblog/2274.png target=_blankimg src=images/pictures/klblog/2274.png border=0 width=400 height=276 alt=''/a/pbrpBut I wanted to focus on the outcome ndash; or the possible outcome of this incident, not on the investigation, arrests and so forth./p

Twitter goes OAuth-only (Yay for security!)
pIn a long overdue move, Twitter turned off basic authentication for third-party applications, while a href=http://blog.twitter.com/2010/08/twitter-applications-and-oauth.htmlenforcing OAuth for all apps/a. This is a move that should be applauded by anyone concerned about the security of their Twitter account./pbrpThis latest move covers a potential vulnerability in the process of giving read/write access to third-party applications, which could lead to a Twitter account being compromised. Well, not anymore. You don't need to give your username and password to third-party developers anymore if you want to use their application on your Twitter account./pbrpBeing always concerned about security, I salute Twitter's move to enforce OAuth. This lets me use an application without having to share my Twitter username and password with an unknown entity. Also, hats off to all developers that updated their applications in time and made this change as seamless as possible for the majority of users./pbrpHowever, keep in mind that OAuth doesn't protect against local attacks - stealing passwords straight from the users' machines. Make sure you use a clean computer when you log-in to Twitter. Also, for more tips on staying safe, I invite you to read my quick a href=http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/how-avoid-getting-your-twitter-account-hacked-081810How to Avoid Getting Your Twitter Account Hacked/a guide on Threatpost./p

Gumblagra and a piano
pSince the beginning of August, our Japan office has seen 900+ mails of a certain kind in their spam traps./pbrbrbrp class=cimg src=images/pictures/klblog/2266.png border=1 alt= title=/pbrbrbrpWe noticed two common patterns in all of the mail. First, the links in these spammed messages all point to compromised servers. Also, the file names of the redirectors are all dictionary words followed by two digits. The files redirect the users to online pharmacy sites and fake watch stores. Here is a screen capture of a directory hosted on one of these online sites:/pbrbrbrp class=cimg src=images/pictures/klblog/2268.png border=1 alt= title=/pbrbrbrpYou might wonder why this caught our attention. The answer is simple: about half of these files contained links to 'gumblar.x' servers./pbrbrbrp class=cimg src=images/pictures/klblog/2269.png border=1 alt= title=/pbrbrbrpThe upper red link points to a pharmacy site, the lower one is a gumblar.x URL./pbrpSo basically an unsuspecting (and unprotected) user who will click these links in their mail will experience a typical 'gumblar-attack' while browsing a pill catalog. The recent peak of such hybrid attacks may be a sign that the cybercriminal(s) who#8217;ve been slowly but surely growing the Gumblar botnet worldwide, and who up until now have been keen to fly under the radar, are now starting to monetize it. The first test runs of mixed pharmacy/gumblar pages were actually identified by our experts as early as April 2010, when we noticed a few mails of this kind, with subjects like Twitter 61-213./pbrpOn further investigation of the involved servers, it turned out that plenty of them have additional malicious code injected directly into their www root. We counted mostly gumblar.x but also some 'pegel.*' and other obfuscated code containing iframers or other redirectors. ppAdditionally, almost ALL of these domains contained a link to 'hxxp://nuttypiano.com/*.js' at the end of the file./pbrbrbrp class=cimg src=images/pictures/klblog/2270.png border=1 alt= title=/pbrbrbrpThere are more than 300 different .js files in circulation on such servers, the content of these is obfuscated and similar to known 'pegel' threats. To make our researchers' task more difficult, the malicious code will only be sent once to the same IP address. However, we have managed to download several samples from the same locations and identified polymorphic-like structures./pbrbrbrp class=cimg src=http://www.securelist.com/en/images/pictures/klblog/2271.png border=1 alt= title=/pbrbrbrpThese are redirecting to other :8080 locations, which in turn try to push more malware onto the victim's machine./pppHere is a quick summary of such injected sites, sorted by country: #1 is the US, followed by FR, DE, TR and JP. Affected webmasters should consider changing their compromised ftp credentials, clean the machines which led to the leak, and investigate their server logs for more details./p
