Virus: “I’m in trouble!” spam (again)

23

This is an email with a link leading to malware. We’ve seen this pitch before:

Subject: Re: I’m in trouble!

I was at a party yesterday, got drunk, couldn’t drive the car, somebody gave me a lift on my car, and crossed on the red light!
I’ve just got the pictures, maybe you know him???
Here is the photo

I need to find him urgently!

Thank you
Belita

The link goes to a legitimate hacked site, then to a multihomed .ru site on the following IPs:
  125.214.74.8
  129.67.100.11
  173.201.187.225
  173.230.137.129
  173.255.229.33
  174.122.121.154
  209.59.222.145
  211.44.250.173
  213.193.231.210
  24.37.34.163
  46.105.28.61
  50.57.77.119
  50.57.118.247
  74.208.205.185
  78.47.135.105
  78.129.233.8
  80.90.199.196
  81.31.43.43
  82.165.197.58
  83.170.91.152
  84.246.210.87
  85.214.204.32
  87.106.201.119
  93.189.88.198
  97.74.87.3

This is pretty much the same IP list as seen last week (new IPs highlighted). It’s unclear at the moment which domains are on the  IPs (though there are some Redret domains here), so blocking the addresses is the safest bet.
