A Russian malware-infested website - mskoblastionline.ru – is advertised these days with the aid of a massive spam campaign. The spammy messages that carry links to the website rely on topics such as wire transfers, airline reservations, and notifications from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), according to Dynamoo’s Blog.
Here’s an example of a new BBB scam that's involved in this operation:
Good afternoon,
Here with the Better Business Bureau would like to inform you that we have received a complaint (ID 1630630165) from a customer of yours in regard to their dealership with you.
Please open the COMPLAINT REPORT attached to this email (open with Internet Explorer/Mozilla Firefox) to view the details on this issue and suggest us about your position as soon as possible.
We hope to hear from you shortly.
Regards, KARRI PENA Dispute Counselor Better Business Bureau In other versions of the BBB scam the complaint ID and the name of the "dispute counselor" may be different.
The wire transaction emails and the ones that purport to represent a flight reservation are pretty much standard.
Once they’re taken to the site, victims are served all sorts of malicious elements via the security holes that may be present in the operating system and other popular pieces of software.
Since antivirus vendors are doing a great job blocking the domain owned by cybercriminals, we will take this opportunity to remind everyone to keep their antivirus software updated and working at full capacity at all times.
Security products usually retrieve the new definitions automatically, so the task isn’t very difficult. However, it’s good to keep an eye on them since you never know when an unexpected error blocks the update process, or an advanced piece of malware blocks it all together (this rarely happens, but you never know).

It seems that Yahoo! accounts are still valuable for cybercriminals, otherwise they probably wouldn’t bother sending out fake emails that attempt to lure recipients to fake login webpages. Two new variants have been submitted by users to millersmiles.co.uk. The first one involves the old “Yahoo! will delete your account” scheme: Dear Yahoo! Email User, Due to excess abandoned Yahoo! e-mail account, Yahoo! Help Desk is currently carrying out system clean up to delete inactive accounts, inother to create space for fresh users.
To verify that your Yahoo e-mail account is active, you are required to click on the link below or copy and paste in a new web page, then complete the form available for this process.
Failure to do this will result in account termination.
The so-called verification link leads to a webpage hosted on the compromised blog of a user from Malaysia. The cleverly crafter HTML file replicates the Yahoo! Mail login page in hopes that victims will fail to look at the site’s URL and enter their usernames and passwords without giving it too much thought.
The second malicious email is much simpler. It pretends to come from “Yahoo Admin” and it only reads “Click here to update your account.”
The link also points to a compromised site that hosts a webpage carefully planted by the cybercriminals.
Both pages have been removed by the websites’ owners, but the campaigns will most likely continue.
As always, we recommend users to be extra careful when entering their login credentials on a website. Malicious sites can look just as the legitimate ones from a visual standpoint, but there are numerous clues that reveal a scheme’s purpose.
Usually, the quickest way to determine if a site is genuine is by checking its URL. If it doesn’t contain the “https” string or if it looks suspicious, you’re most likely dealing with a scam.
After they have taken down WikiLeaks for a fairly long period of time by launching a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack against it, hackers from AntiLeaks have turned their attention to two other websites: news site RT.com, and live video streaming service Bambuser. “We can confirm a DDoS attack this morning, causing service issues. Regret any inconvenience,” Bambuser representatives wrote on Twitter.
A couple of hours ago, RT.com posted a similarmessage on Twitter: BREAKING: RT.com is under DDoS attack, hosting provider confirms. More details as we get it.
Bambuser’s owners have told ZDNet that they’re often targeted because their services are utilized by many activists from Syria, Russia, and even the Occupy movement.
While this isn’t the first attack they’re experiencing, this particular campaign is most likely connected to the fact that citizen journalist James Albury has been using the service to broadcast from the embassy of Ecuador in London where the controversial Julian Assange has been seeking asylum.
“Mysteriously the website bambuser.com went down as soon as I learned it was live streaming the Ecuador Embassy #Wikileaks #Antileaks,” one of the hackers said.
A few hours ago, they added, “As many have speculated and most of you already know, we were behind the DDoS attack on #bambuser.”
As far as RT is concerned, they accuse the news website of being a “government funded and controlled propaganda machine,” along with WikiLeaks Central and Pacific Justice.
Currently, Bambuser is working properly, but RT.com is still under siege. Such attacks are bound to intensify, now that the asylum request of the WikiLeaks founder has been approved.
In the meantime, a Facebook page that carries that hackers’ name indicates that there may be a conflict between AntiLeaks and the United States of Anonymous. The latter took over AntiLeaks’ Facebook page after their own page was temporarily downed by AntiLeaks.
On the other hand, AntiLeaks representatives claim that they only communicate via email and Twitter, naming the Facebook page as being a fake.
