Spamvertised Best Buy, Macy's, Evite and Target Themed Scareware/Exploits Serving Campaign


They are back again (Spamvertised Amazon "Verify Your Email", "Your Amazon Order" Malicious Emails; Dissecting the Xerox WorkCentre Pro Scanned Document Themed Campaign) for a fresh start of the week, with a currently ongoing spam campaign, serving scareware and client-side exploits, using a "Thank you for your payment"/"Thank you for your EXPRESS payment" themed subjects impersonating popular brands such as Best Buy, Macy's, Target and Evite.

Let's dissect the campaign, its structure, emphasize on the monetization strategy, and expose the complete portfolio of the domains involved in the campaign.

Sample email:
"Subject :Thank you for your payment Don’t miss a thing – Add support@e.macys.com to your email address book! Click here if you are unable to see images in this email.

1. Sign in on macys.com at https://www.macys.com/myinfo/index.ognc
2. Click on “My Account” – “My Profile” at https://www.macys.com/myinfo/profile/index.ognc
3. Uncheck the box Receive email notification when statements are available to view online and when payments are due.
4. Click on “Update Profile”
5. Expect the change to take place in 3 days

Compared to previous campaigns, the directory structure (fast fluxed :8080/index.php?pid=10; maliciousurl.ru /QWERTY.js; maliciousurl.ru /ODBC.js; LAN.js; Access.js; End_User.js etc.) of this one remains virtually the same, depending, of course, on the angle you choose for dissecting it.


Sample campaign structure:
- musicsgeneva.com /x.html - "PLEASE WAITING 4 SECOND..."
- opus22.org /x.html - "PLEASE WAITING 4 SECOND..."
- shamelessfreegift.com /x.html - "PLEASE WAITING 4 SECOND..."
- physicianschoiceonline.com /x.htm - "PLEASE WAITING 4 SECOND..."
