We're seeing a well crafted phishing email being sent around to various government agencies with a link to
dnicenter.com/docs/report.zip

Zip file contains an executable, which when able to run and infect, makes a call to
updatekernel.com/imgpic/x18d2/d8x16/x98x10.bin

The bin file appears to be a config file for Zbot.

Currently 1/42 VT

Report provided by Comodo

Fairly new user so if I did this wrong please let me know. I didn't attach the file as I am under the impression not to since I'm not an official contributor.

TIA

We never received the full email with headers from any of the users who received it, they just forwarded it on to us. And I am unable to attach the file, says I am not authorized to upload the file type of .sitx (I do my malware work on a Mac with StuffIt for zipping files).

On OSX? Just Control-click on the file and OSX will zip it for you.

A way to workaround this is to rename the file's extension to zip.

@Tom, thanks for the attachment.

Plenty of zbots making the rounds lately.

Oh bloody hell! I feel like a tard. I'm still really new to the OSX environment and asked a co-worker about how to zip on Mac's. He recommended StuffIt so I went with it. I'll remember to stick to the renaming idea in the future. Sorry for the hassle.

Just a point of clarification, .sitx is NOT a zip file. It is a stuffit file. On OSX a file(s) can be zipped (eg put in a format that PKZIP on Windows can understand) either by using the command line:

zip /path/to/file

Or using performing a control click to bring up a menu and then select "Compress" or clicking the file once and then selecting "Compress" from the "file" menu. This will generate a .zip file.
