Hi all,
As we were expecting, malware has been seen using social engineering techniques regarding Obama winning the US Presidential election.
There seems to be two techniques being employed. One is in English and the other in Spanish.
The English malware is using subject lines similar to:
A new president, a new congress ...
Barack Obama wins
Can Obama win popular vote but lose election?
Did Obama Win Yet?
Election 2008: Time lapse of U.S. counties
Election Center 2008 - Election Results
Election Night Results
Fear of a Black President
New president's
Obama win an Electoral College majority
Obama win Defined by Race
Obama win preferred in world poll
Obama win sets stage for showdown
Obama Wouldnt Be First Black President
Obama's Win Reshapes the Race
Priorities for the New President
Priorities for the New President - TIME
The new President's cabinet?
USA Election 2008 Results
Will American Voters Elect a Black President
World Welcomes Obama's Win
This may not be the entire list but should be a good start. So far, the following fast-flux domains have been seen involved in this malware:
bfiinwach.com
gerimumsoe.com
lopbiuemis.com
vcoenutrmsi.com
wconlinenrue.com
There isn't too much information on the Spanish variant. We are yet to see any emails regarding this. Our sources of information are the following:
Cheers,
Zane
