please find enclosed.

Yesterday I received an email apparently coming from LinkedIn:



When we check the headers, the return path is: banquetedfwx14@rentanyapartment.com
I'm pretty sure LinkedIn does not use this email address for their communication ;) .

Enclosed is a file called resume_new.zip (40 KB)
MD5: 7227d2c555262145700be91ae991d91e
VirusTotal result is 25/43:
printable receipt.exe

Conclusion:
LinkedIn will not send you any emails where a "resume" is attached which is in fact an .exe file. Do not reply or open the attachment, simply delete the email.

A few days ago I received the following email:

Subject: Fresh event on Monday 9/27

Hey



Hope you are well.



Nissa asked that I email you information about the Fresh event we are hosting at Ger-Nis on Monday September 27th,
so if you wanted to you could be the mixologist and help us out with the drinks (beer and wine included).

Obviously, we will compensate you for your time, so if you are free,
we would love if you could help out!

Please find attached.

Please let me know as soon as you can.



Enjoy your weekend,

It contained an attachment called "02943Fresh event on Monday 927"

VirusTotal result: 20/43

At the time I was checking the link, it was already taken offline.
It tried to redirect me to http://nobletree.org/x.html .
Most probably you were redirected to a fake antivirus page.

Conclusion:

Please be careful when you receives messages from someone you
don't know, and certainly do not open any attachments.

Introducing: Roguevertising

I made this post a while ago at MalwareDatabase, and decided to post it here as well. Be careful though, some of the links can still be active.

Down below you can find the introduction of the post and a link to it:

Introducing: Roguevertising
A new term in the rogue industry – written by Bart P

Today I will be talking about a new trend that spreads itself quite quickly throughout the internet.
In this document I will try to explain what it is all about and provide additional information like screenshots and measures that can be taken to tackle these threats.
