Malicious iFrame embedded within the .htm attachment: hxxp://superproomgh.ru:8080/navigator/jueoaritjuir.php
The malicious .htm has a very low detection rate, and is currently detected as JS/Kryptik.SA!tr and Mal/Iframe-AE.
Client-side exploits serving structure:
hxxp://superproomgh.ru:8080/navigator/jueoaritjuir.php
hxxp://superproomgh.ru:8080/navigator/fsytklfwiqbz.jar
hxxp://superproomgh.ru:8080/navigator/hmfngpdshsknblc.jar

The client-side exploits serving domain superproomgh.ru is currenly fast-fluxed, namely it’s responding to multiple, dynamically changing IP addresses in an attempt by the cybercriminals behind the campaingn, to make it harder for vendors and researchers to take it down.
The campaign is attempting to exploit the “Libtiff integer overflow in Adobe Reader and Acrobat” vulnerability, also known as CVE-2010-0188 in an attempt to drop the following MD5 on the exploited hosts – MD5: 20de62566248864be3b0e413b332d731 currently detected as Win32:Sirefef-RV [Drp], Trojan.Generic.KDV.582649, HEUR:Trojan.Win32.Generic, or PWS-Zbot.gen.hv.
