FEEDBURNER SUB-DOMAIN HOSTING TROJAN DROPPER

The Feedburner RSS management platform is hosting a Trojan that redirects users
to a series of malicious sites.

A sub-domain of Google’s Feedburner RSS management platform is hosting a string
of malicious JavaScript embedded with an iFrame, all of which is designed to
upload a Trojan onto user machines and redirect visitors to a series of
malicious sites.

According to a report published by the security firm Zscaler, the initial
infection page is hxxp://feeds.feedburner[.]com/bileblo. The site reportedly
contains a bit of obfuscated JavaScript that further conceals an iFrame. This
page drops the JavaScript Trojan. Once a visitor’s browser de-obfuscates the
JavaScript, triggers the iFrame, and receives the Trojan, the victim machine is
redirected to one then another malicious website.

The purpose of the Trojan, identified by Zscaler as JS/Exploit-Blacole.em, is
simply to redirect users to other sites. The immediate redirection leads to
hxxp://rsnvlbgcba.ibiz.cc/d/404.php?go=1 and then on to hxxp://fukbb.com/.

An examination of the initial redirect’s source code revealed that the site is
merely a stepping stone that leads users to the second redirect. Oddly, the
final destination site does not host any malicious content at the moment.
However, a VirusTotal analysis performed by Zscaler and Threatpost suggests that
the site is a suspicious one that has been associated with malware-related
activities in the past.

“We continue to see similar infections using malicious JavaScript injected into
legitimate sites to redirect users to malicious sites on a daily basis,” Zscaler
researcher Pradeep Kulkarni writes. “Most of the time the infected sites haven’t
specifically been targeted, but have become infected during larger attacks
conducted using browser exploit kits designed to automate the infection of as
many sites as possible.”
