Indeed, and a harder group to phish too, not your typical mom & pop phishing.

Did not last long either:

It's reachable. Maybe not touchable, but reachable.

Appears to be roving bot type hosting. A 30 minute TTL on the phisher contolled DNS rotates a pool of hosts.

A get request of the root IP on several, if not all, of the above will generate a redirect to:
>http://www.microsoft.com/


Also, the actual phish page contains a 1x1 iframe for:
>http://58.65.239.3/cgi-bin/mail.cgi?p=tor

which is the subject of:

FORM id=wzMainForm name=wzMainForm

action=submit.php

method=post
and relevant to:


After the submit to 58.65.239.3/cgi-bin/mail.cgi you are then redirected to >http://www.google.com:


IP 58.65.239.3 appears to have FTP running and hosts two domains: Escortinukraine.com and Kumau.info. They may not be relevant if that IP is hijacked.

For reference, in case it disappears, here is the source code for the entire phish page. For some reason it causes an immediate GPF on my web brwowser. I am not sure why.

Uhm, excuse me, but that's why you're supposed to put crap like this on other peoples servers.

two more this morning...

It just occurred to me now that this is way too focused of an attack to be random or luck. Plus I'm getting them to two very specific email addresses...so after a little digging I've found only one place that they could have been pulled from.

Google Analytics
»https://www.google.com/analytics

It's the only place that both email addresses were in (I get daily reports on different sub domains, one to each) so I have to assume at this point that somebody gained access to the list of emails and assumed that a majority of people using Google Analytics were also using Google Adwords (not to be confused with Adsense).

Now the only question is...does google know???

lord...why did I even try. All they did was send me a explanation of what "spoofing" is.

Good to see that Google has joined the ranks of the large company that hires people dumb enough to not understand the emails they get.

On second thought...it was probably just a small perl script that responded to me.

Gotta point out one other thing about this that is a little scarier than your average phishing scheme. It follows the logical procession of what it claims to be. In order, and on a reasonable time frame.

I unfortunately did not keep most of these, but I received the first I think sometime in late February. Received a couple more in March and earlier April. And now I just received one yesterday (as I scrolled through my spam box) that claimed "Your adwords account has now been 'stoped'." (Thank god for illiterate phisphers!)

But the fact that it well mimics the general progress of a real account shut down indicates a somewhat higher level of intelligence here. And - that scares me. LOL

Just thought I'd share my observation, and thanks for allowing a body to post without creating yet another account =)

V--Z

PS - I tried telling google, too, and also got the standard scripted response. Thank god for form letter writers, too, keeping otherwise perfectly good telemarketers from calling me!

Google adwords phish "renew your account Now!"

I found one of these in my spambox too - I don't have a Google acocunt of any kind, looks like they're looking for ways to sneak malware into Google Ads.

Phish site link (link in code is also broken)
