Targeted Spamming of Bankers Malware

This particular incident is interesting mostly because we have a good example that once a site gets compromised the potential for abusing the access for malware distribution becomes very realistic, this is in fact what happened with autobroker.com.pl, as the following URLs were active as of yesterday, now down due to notification. Basically, the compromised host, compromised in an automatic and efficient way for sure, started acting as the foundation for the campaign, which as it looks like was spammed in a targetted manner. A tiny php file at autobroker.com.pl/l.php was launching the downloader :

TROJ.BANLOAD
Result: 18/31 (58.07%)
File size: 46080 bytes
MD5: 690e71077c9d78347368c6cf8752741e
SHA1: 7dedad0778a24c69d6df4c8ceedc94f20292473e

the downloader then drops the following bankers that are strangely hosted on the French site Opus Citatum, and are still active :

The campaign was originally spammed with the messages : "Chegou 1 vivo foto torpedo" and "Vivo torpedo foi enviado de um celular para seu e" by using the web based spammer you can see in the attached screenshot.
