The various domains and IP address listed in the following file are, as we speak, acting as distribution/infection points for some sort of Javascript malware which is almost certainly a flavor of ransomeware. Note that the majority of these malware slinging IP are on ASNs associated with the RIPE region. ** FAIR WARNING *** Please use exceptional caution when browsing to any of the domains listed within the following file. Doing so with a vlunerable browser and/or from a vulnerable platform is likely to cause encryption of your entire harddrive. Such encryption may perhaps be irreversable without paying a ransom. ftp://ftp.tristatelogic.com/pub/cases/295165/20160629-0.txt I am including below the same information as is present within the above referenced file, but without the associated domain names. I do this in order to avoid having this message improperly filtered. as it might be, by some of the spam filters being used by some of the people who really should see this message. (But the domain names are all readily available in the above file.) Note that the domain names involved in this particular set of malware distributors are all third-level .com domains, and that in all cases, the actual text of the first (leftmost) of the three domain name labels is irrelevant and could be replaced by any other valid domain name label, i.e. because the second level domains have all been wildcarded in DNS. The following list has been sorted numerically, based on the AS number.

Thank you. Regards, rfg P.S. Those who do elect to browse to the domains listed in the file cited above, and so do so without getting infected, will notice that the underyling actual web sites are all identical, and are all selling a completely bogus diet supplement called "CLA Safflower Oil". It is unclear at this time whether the criminals behind these IPs and domains are making more money from their ransomware scheme, or from selling this bogus diet suppliment to naive idiots.
