The demise of index1.php PornTube Video Malware

When a criminal finds a good thing, he stays with it. One criminal has been doing exactly that since May 17th. Every day since May 17th, the UAB Spam Data Mine has received spam messages with shocking, offensive titles promising to have videos of offensively described sex acts, which pointed to webpages ending in "index1.php". I started to write today's article saying that it had finally stopped, but unfortunately, a small batch trickled in just before I sat down to write. (Two domains were in that batch - estofadosgrando.com.br, which has already been fixed so that it is not able to deliver the malware - and rasini.it, which is still hosting a fake YouTube page showing a sexual act and attempting to infect visitors with their malware.)

What I can say is that something has happened this week to dramatically impact the volume of this malware-advertising spam. While there are times when the volume was more than 10% of all spam, for the month of October, this campaign averaged about 2% of the total spam volume per day. In May it was only a fraction of 1%, although present each day, in June it crossed 1%, peaking in mid-August where it was 3% of all spam we received.

During the course of this spam campaign, we received spam from more than 30,000 infected computers, which advertised malicious websites on more than 2,260 domains.

Each of those websites was an existing legitimate website, which was taken over by the criminals to allow them to post their malicious software on the site. Once their malware was in place, visitors would be invited to load software to view the movie (viewers with older browsers were infected even if they didn't ask to load the software). That malware in turn launched the installer for the then current fake Anti-Virus 2008 (currently calling itself AntiSpyware 2009).

A quick check of the 2,269 previously used domains shows that 166 of them are still hosting the malware.

Here are the links to the malware, in case someone would like to contact these webmasters and help them get this stuff removed.

We believe that the webmaster's own computer may be compromised. It appears that the criminal logs in to the websites using the administrator's userid and password, creates the directory where he is going to place his virus, and then uploads his files to it.

If you are a webmaster of one of these domains, we would very much like to see your server logs. Please email if you would be willing to share: gar@cis.uab.edu


!!DANGER!! IF YOU ARE NOT A PROFESSIONAL ANTIVIRUS RESEARCHER, THESE LINKS ARE NOT FOR YOU!!!!

Trying a new setting. After turning on comments, I got about 20-30 comments per day that were all link spam. Sorry to require login, but the spam was too much.
