Keeping Money Mule Recruiters on a Short Leash - Part Two

February 09, 2010

With money mule recruitment syndicates continuing to expand their geographically diverse inventories of gullible mules, keeping their operations on a short leash is becoming a tradition. What the non-existent organizations profiled in this post have in common with the non-existent organizations profiled before, is the vendor of money mule recruitment creative, thanks to whose standardization of the recruitment process, everyone willing to invest a modest amount of money can start recruiting.

Despite the ongoing mix of abusing legitimate infrastructure (Web 2.0 services, dedicated hosting within legitimate ISPs - Tweet 1; Tweet 2; Tweet 3; Tweet 4; Tweet 5; Tweet 6) and using purely malicious infrastructure, centralization is cybecrime operations is still an inseparable part of the cybercrime ecosystem.

Case in point is AS47560 - VESTEH-NET-as Vesteh LLC, where the cybercriminals have not only chosen to host their money mule recruitment domain portfolio, but also, the actual Zeus crimeware command and control servers. Pretty convenient indeed, however a minimalistic OPSEC attitude leading to increased exposure.

The newly introduced money mule recruitment domains, rely on the same DIY web interface, and the same "payment processing agent" agreement seen in previous campaigns. What's naturally changing are the web page layouts combined with a new description of the non-existent company. Here's a sample from the currently active ones:

"Welcome to the world of Outsourcing. Never has a phenomenon been so all encompassing and empowering like outsourcing. Transcending beyond an industry's vertical segments, outsourcing has become the "by default" strategy for all profit conscious organizations that struggle to retain their winning streak and high profitability. Today's scenario in the business world is more competitive than what it was in the past. There is a growing realization that wisdom lies in consolidating the core competency functions and outsourcing the supplement. We are an online services marketplace in USA and Australia. Our goal is to empower businesses with the absolute freedom to choose where to outsource their business needs to maximize their competitive advantage. We believe that "money saved due to outsourcing can be effectively and successfully utilized to focus more on strategic and core businesses functions".

The fact that money mule recruiters aggregate contact details from career building web sites, isn't new -- see "Major career web sites hit by spammers attack". Here are the sample letters emailed to a prospective money mule, which spotted the scam and avoided it:

Naturally, it gets even more interesting with AS47560 - VESTEH-NET-as Vesteh LLC acting as a good example of cybercrime-friendly virtual neighborhood. Not only are the cybercriminals hosting the money mule recruitment sites there, but also, a decent number of Zeus crimeware C&Cs, client-side exploit serving campaigns are currently active there.
