Antony Elmar owns quite a few domain names. He lives in a lovely city called "Kansas, US", but seems to make his home there on a park bench, because he doesn't have a street address. On the upside, the park bench does have a phone extension, but one with a phone number that is a tad odd for "Kansas, US" and has a dial prefix that looks more like Italy:

Domain Name:EVORMCORP  .IN
Created On:14-Jan-2012 00:01:08 UTC
Last Updated On:14-Jan-2012 00:01:10 UTC
Expiration Date:14-Jan-2013 00:01:08 UTC
Registrar:Directi Web Services Pvt. Ltd. (R118-AFIN)
Registrant Name:Antony Elmar
Registrant Organization:N/A
Registrant Street1:none
Registrant City:Kansas
Registrant State/Province:
Registrant Postal Code:67420
Registrant Country:US
Registrant Phone:+3.976639877

None of this fazes the domain name registrar "Directi Web Services" in Mumbai, India, to the least. And Antony has been busy - he bought a dozen or so new domains over the past two days, and managed to bring them live within a matter of minutes after purchase.

His new domains currently point to 89.187.53.237, in Moldova. Yup, ol'Antony is quite the international business executive, conducting his trade on three continents with equal ease! The IP used seems to change about once per week, until past Thursday, Antony's virtual HQ was at the neighboring IP, 89.187.53.238.

His latest new domains include

cyberendbaj .in
cyberevorm .in
endbaj .in
endbajcomp .in
evorm .in
evormhost .in
evormcorp .in

and provide a generous helping of malware to users unlucky enough to get redirected there via what appears to be poisoned ads on legitimate web pages. Antony's toys currently seem to use URLs with a certain pattern that you can search for in your web logs with a command like egrep -E '\/.{8}\/\?[[:xdigit:]]{60}'

Example result from earlier today: 
http://endbajcomp. in/rgy9hcgw/?1a4c39a0370ad0f641cc790b5d0acdb24eba0f2d2483b98b4076689a4684

Caveat - that regexp might of course also match on perfectly benign web site URLs.

The malware uses CVE-2010-0842 (javax.sound.midi) and CVE-2011-3544 (Rhino script engine) and when successful seems to download an executable off a URL that matches egrep -E '\/.{8}\/\?[[:xdigit:]]{60};[0-9];[0-9]'
