“New message” spam, fake dating sites and libertymonings.info

This “New message” themed spam leads to both a fake anti-virus page and a Java exploit on the domains site-dating2012.asia and libertymonings.info. There’s some cunning trickery going on here too. First of all, let’s start with some spam examples:

In these cases, the targets URLs are [donotclick]site-dating2012.asia/link.php and [donotclick]site-dating2012.asia/link.php both hosted on 46.249.42.161 (Serverius Holding, Netherlands) and  pretty much the same as the ones found a couple of days ago hiding out on 46.249.58.211(also at Serverius Holding).

These look like dating URLs, so you might assume that they are either a) a legitimate dating site or b) just some dating spam rather than malware. In any case, appearances are deceptive and it leads to fake AV site that seems to be very similar to this one. The deception goes a little deeper, because the link.php pages even forward through a fake affiliate-style link such as [donotclick]best-dating2010.info/?affid=00110&promo_type=5&promo_opt=1 before they get to the fake anti-virus page.

The site also contains an apparent Java exploit that loads in from libertymonings.info on 84.200.77.218 (Misterhost, Germany) which was also used in this attack. The malicious code is found at the page [donotclick]libertymonings.info/index/zzz/?a=YWZmaWQ9MDAxMTA=  which attempts to download a Java exploit from [donotclick]libertymonings.info/analizator_data/ztsvgnvlmhe-a.qsypes.jar which is pretty thinly detected according to VirusTotal.

The following IPs and domains are all related and should be blocked if you can:

46.249.42.161
