Fake Dell Email

[Humpty]

Websense Security Labs has received reports of a new email campaign starting in Australia that attempts to lure users to connecting to a malicious website. The Australia CERT has reported emails that are spoofing the Dell online store. The emails claim that the user is being charged for a camera purchase and requests they connect to a site in order to view their profile.

 

The site is encoding their code via Java Script. When decoded it includes eight different IFRAMES, all which attempt to load exploit code and download and install new malicious code. The site itself appears to be going up and down sporadically.

Sample Email from original advisory:

 

Subject: Your order #[number] has been accepted for the amount

865.00 AUD

From: Dell online Store <order_[number]@dell.co.uk>

 

Thank you for shopping with us.

 

Your order #[number] Canon DF-E037 8.0 MP Digital Camera has been

accepted for the amount 865.00 AUD.

 

Your card will be charged in that amount.

You can just imagine some people getting that and saying "what the heck is going on, I never ordered that!" and then clicking to have a look.
