Facebook users, watch what you click on!
Cybercriminals are currently mass mailing bogus “Facebook Account Cancellation Requests“, in an attempt to trick Facebook’s users into clicking on the malicious link found in the email. Upon clicking on the link, users are exposed to client-side exploits which ultimately drop malware on the affected host.

Upon successsful client-side exploitation, the campaign drops MD5: 8b3979c1a9c85a7fd5f8ff3caf83fc56 – detected by 3 out of 46 antivirus scanners as PWS-Zbot.gen.aru
Upon execution, the sample creates the following file on the affected hosts:
%AppData%Ixriyvemarosa.exe – MD5: A33684FD2D1FA669FF6573921F608FBB
It also creates the following directories:
%AppData%Ixriyv
%AppData%Uxwonyl
As well as the following Mutex:
Local{7A4AAF46-5391-8FF9-A32F-78A34C8B50D7}
It then phones back to shallowave.jumpingcrab.com (93.174.95.78) on port 8012. Another similar subdomain on this host (takemeout.jumpingcrab.com), was also seen in a crowdsourced DDoS campaign in 2009.
