Screenshot of 203.153.108.227

We have detected that this IP is NATting for, or is infected itself, with a Linux (or possibly some other Unix-like system such as FreeBSD) Trojan spam mailer script. This is no joke. This infection is extremely dangerous as it can download anything it wishes, and needs to be removed ASAP.

We do not know how the malware got installed onto the machine, but we know a lot of what it does. The main thing we've seen it doing is sending staggering large volumes of email spam. But it can do a lot more than that, and that is the real danger.

NEW

Of late some of these infections are facilitiated by a SSH Rootkit called "ebury". See this link for more detail.

In most cases, this IP address would be that of a shared hosting environment. If you are a customer of this environment, you will almost certainly not be able to do anything about it, only the administrators of the hosting environment itself can. Please contact your administrators, and refer them to this page. If the administrators are reluctant to do anything please try to convince them, because there is nothing you can do to fix this problem.

For further Info, please read the Screenshots made earlier in the Day (at the End of this Post).

Category MALICIOUS IP: 177.55.96.212 (BRAZIL) Listed at SPAMHAUS (CBL) Linux, FreeBSD or some other form of UNIX

The IP Address 177.55.96.212 is listed in the CBL (Composite Blocking List). It appears to be infected with a spam sending trojan, proxy or some other form of botnet. It was last detected at 2014-03-04 14:00 GMT (+/- 30 minutes), approximately 6 days, 21 hours ago.

CBL has detected that this IP is infected with (or NATting for) a spambot that attempts to break into other systems using stolen or compromised credentials and sends VERY VERY large volumes of spam. The infected machine is probably Linux, FreeBSD or some other form of UNIX, but sometimes Windows machines are infected. CBL has zero tolerance for reinfections.

Of late some of these infections are facilitiated by a SSH Rootkit. See this link for more details.

In most cases, this IP address would be that of a shared hosting environment. If you are a customer of this environment, you will almost certainly not be able to do anything about it, only the administrators of the hosting environment itself can. Please contact your administrators, and refer them to this page.

If the administrators are reluctant to do anything please try to convince them, because there is nothing you can do to fix this problem.

One way of finding the user that is infected and spewing spam is to use the "lsof" (list open files) utility. "lsof" is available for most versions of UNIX-like systems such as Linux as part of the official distribution, but may not be installed by default. So first, make sure you have it installed. On many systems such as Ubuntu, you can install it by:
