#Alert! #Facebook scam emails that will lead you to #Blackhole EK (162.216.18.169, GoDaddy/Linode)

Note: I wrote this post as a quick note to raise this threat's awareness, a warning note for Facebook users; Thus a PoC to be used as verdict for shutdown purpose of the related domain and IP, so I am sorry if you did not find any deep analysis this time.

We received tons of fake Facebook notification email spams with the three themes pattern: (1)Asking you about Facebook password changes, (2)"Your photo was tagged" notification and (3)Friend Request notification. I made snapshot of these threes as per below (please click to enlarge the pics):

These emails will trick you to click the below malware infection URLs with I pasted the recent ones only:

h00p://198.251.67.11/sonya/index.html
h00p://www.kauai2u.com/hiding/index.html
h00p://nendt.com/horded/index.html
h00p://whittakerwatertech.com/hewed/index.html
h00p://www.readingfluency.net/demising/index.html
h00p://adeseye.me.pn/saluted/index.html
h00p://www.bst-kanzlei.de/gist/index.html
h00p://www.discountprescriptions.pacificsocial.com/signally/index.html

What happen after you accessed those URL is, you will load the malicious JavaScript in the below URL:

h00p://traditionlagoonresort.com/prodded/televised.js
And you will be redirected to the Blackhole exploit Kit site here:
h00p://nphscards.com/topic/accidentally-results-stay.php
The browser will look like this upon redirection...

If we trail this threat further we will meet Trojan Zbot/Pony(Credential Stealer), MedFos(downloader) and Zero Access botnet which are served by this Blackhole.
Same infection chain lead to the same URL also verdicted malicious in here-->>[CLICK]

The Blackhole host itself is up and alive in the below domain and NS:

nphscards.com  A  162.216.18.169
nphscards.com  NS  ns30.domaincontrol.com
nphscards.com  NS  ns29.domaincontrol.com
