Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Malicious Google Chrome extension spreads nude celebrity pdfs to Facebook December 8, 2016 A researcher at Cyren has found that a malicious Google Chrome extension is spreading nude celebrity PDFs to Facebook groups. A user is uploading a PDF document to groups with the name  Jessice_Alba_Leaked-sextapeVide_oSun_Dec_4_2016_22_99.mp4.pdf  Opening the PDF reveals a nude picture with a Play button in the middle. Clicking on the picture opens up a Web browser for viewing the video. If the browser is IE, FireFox, or Safari then the user will be taken to an aggressive advertising webpage nudity, fake lottery. However, if the user is using Google Chrome, the link opened is hxxpsrb-xxxxxx.xxxgxxxxo.php and shows a phony YouTube site. Clicking the play button brings up a pop-up window inviting the user to install a Google Chrome extension. After installing that extension, the browser opens up a Facebook.com login page. The extension is able to read the users friend list, Facebook groups, plus all personal information and upload the PDF to groups, posts, and to friends in private chat. A JSON config file is downloaded from hxxpxxxxxx.comjquery.php?random string that has URL to another script as shown in the JSON format. The Google Chrome extension has a JavaScript file called background.js that acts as the initial downloader for that script, ba.php . hxxpsxxxxxx.xxx2017ba.php?random value snip  mundet 1, d , f ba.php?  snip The random value is computed using the following code snip Math.floorDate.now  1000 snip The downloaded chrome extension script, contains several chrome event handlers, which includes the following chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest .

The third chrome extension script main.php contains the code which makes this malicious chrome extension propagate through facebook. This behavior alone makes this malicious chrome extension a new breed of web-based Worms. The PDF that is uploaded to Facebook is generated by selecting the name of a celebrity randomly from the script file and combining this with random characters. For example this link would generate a PDF with a picture of Kim Kardashian with a play button hxxpsxxxxxxxcreatePDF?xxxxKim_Kardashianidctjn8v57n. If the PDF is accessed from a mobile device the user will get this message if there is no PDF viewer on the mobile device found it on youtube if you are on mobile you need to install Google PDF viewer from play store to watch this video. OMG its really you. The message is translated into 25 different languages depending on the users locale. Opening the PDF on a mobile device and clicking on the play button leads the user to a mobile version of the spam advertising site. After opening the PDF on the mobile device the play button scrolls through multiple links and ends up opening one of them. Spinning the wheel then opens up more fake spam windows. So to summarize, this advertising campaign is able to create a sort of botnet to spread via a combination of nude celebrity pictures, a chrome extension, and Facebook posts  which all ultimately lead to an aggressive spamadvertising page. Facebook runs on all kinds of devices, although this malware campaign targets the Chrome web browser platform, it is not impossible for the malware writers to find ways to propagate through other browsers, as all the other browsers also have their own browser pluginsextensions.

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Locky Ransomware Now Embedded in Javascript July 21, 2016 A new wave of Locky malware emails have been making the rounds since yesterday  July 20, 2016  with a critical new development, whereby the Windows executable is now embedded in JavaScript. Essentially, the attached JavaScript file has evolved from being a downloader component into becoming the actual ransomware. These JavaScript variants were detected and blocked by CYREN as dropper trojans named JSLockyDrop.A and JSLockyDrop.A!Eldorado. The email samples used in this latest round of evolved Locky attacks are using the subject line Invoice, and use the same filename format for the attachments similar to the previous wave of Locky attacks 09AF3,_mailboxusername.zip or mailboxusername_09AF3,.zip In this article, we are showing the email sample with the SHA256 of d92e7d7c7c312940155bbe641ccb31b0258e7d75a31d0349d4ddc87e2aba22b8 in our analysis. Compared to the previous Locky emails we have been receiving, the size of the attached ZIP file in the most recent wave is significantly larger by more than 250KB. Opening the attached ZIP files shows that it still contains a javascript file. Loading the JavaScript into an editor shows the same familiar obfuscation found in the previous Locky downloader script variants. It also shows the use of numerous variables containing chunks of strings, which are concatenated at runtime to build needed strings like ActiveXObject names and methods. Even the binary decryption routine is still included in this variant. What we found new in this variant is the presence of a set of large arrays which are concatenated together. This large array variable holds the encrypted Locky ransomware binary, which is decrypted and saved to disk before being executed. Embedding malware binaries in scripts has been around for years, so it is not surprising to see Locky making use of this technique in delivering its ransomware component. At runtime wscript.exe shows significant CPU usage, indicaing the decryption of the Locky ransomware binary. The executable is saved in the windows temporary directory, with a filename which looks randomly generated, but is actually hardcoded in the javascript. The Locky ransomware component is then executed with an argument of 321. After a few minutes of execuion in the background, Locky searches, encrypts and renames files in the system. This variant adds .zepto as the file extension of the encrypted files. There have been other reports identifying this Locky ransomware variant as Zepto Ransomware, however, upon close inspection of the malware body, we found that there were just a few changes in the Locky code showing the change in file extension used. CYREN detects the dropped ransomware components as W32Locky.AN.gen!Eldorado. After encrypting files, the desktop background wallpaper is replaced with the ransom note and opens the ransom instructions page, which was dropped on the users desktop. Clicking on the Tor links directs the user to the Locky Decryptor page. As always, we highly advise end users to avoid opening executable attachments from untrusted sources, and to deploy web gateway security capable of detecting and stopping such attacks. Businesses can ultimately contribute to reducing the economic payoff calculation for the cybercriminals and, at the same time, defend their organization.
