It appears that a large number of websites, approximately 500, hosted on IP 192.185.225.116 are being used as PayPal Phishing landing pages.  That IP is registered to websitewelcome.com, but we have been told by customers that the IP is in use by popular U.S. based web hosting company HostGator.

When the FQDN of a legitimate web page on that IP is appended with:

~pbhanney/goobooker/avatars/user_uploaded/manage/ffe02d0542523d2fca9d479a2b50a948/

for example 

hxxp://24efitness.com/~pbhanney/goobooker/avatars/user_uploaded/manage/ffe02d0542523d2fca9d479a2b50a948/

will take you to a PayPal login landing page.

Google seems to be aware of the issue and is warning on attempts to access the pages.

The issue has been reported to both HostGator and Paypal, so hopefully they can clean it up soon.

 

Update: As of 2016-03-07.  HostGator has cleaned up these landing pages.

One of our loyal readers, Gebhard, pointed out a nice post (in German) on how to slow down Locky if you are using a Samba server for filesharing in your environment.  The technique takes advantage of fail2ban and some additional Samba logging to keep Locky from encrypting all the files on the share.  It is worth a look.  Thanx, Gebhard, for sharing.
