How do they scam people?prevailion.com
Step 1 - Phishing E-Mails
Step 2 - Infected Document Attachments
Step 3 - Bitly Link Redirection to “TeamMana” Blogspot
Step 4 - Creating Scheduled Tasks and Registry Keys
Step 5 - Downloading and Loading the Trojan
Step 6 - Analysis of the Process Hollower and Trojan
For example, they sent malicious documents using free web mail accounts.
They then could have used an open-source project to generate a DDE payload
or macro and had the macro reach out to a Bitly link.
This link then resolved to a free Blogspot site, hosted by Google,
which redirected to various Pastebin sites. Finally, they used an older trojan
that likely cost approximately $100. Thus, the only real cost associated
with this particular campaign appears to be that of leasing the VPSs.
