apocsvr.info (Andromeda http malware hosted by vHostLayer.com)

Server:   apocsvr.info
Gate file:  /andro/image.php

This is just the standard cracked andro, but I noticed something interesting about it.
The domain is whoisguard protected, which is often used by skids who don’t want to spend 30 seconds making up fake info for the whois. However I noticed something in the assembly info of the sample:

InternalName.............: MickNoses.exe
ProductVersion...........: 4.120.0.0
FileDescription..........: Mick Noses Utility
OSVersion................: 4.0
OriginalFilename.........: MickNoses.exe
LegalCopyright...........: Copyright   2012 Mick Noses, LLC.  All rights reserved.
MachineType..............: Intel 386 or later, and compatibles
CompanyName..............: Mick Noses, LLC

Hmm, where have I seen a name like that before? Switch the M and N around and it becomes Nick Moses.
What a clever guy, implanting a mildly disguised version of his name into the malware he spreads. I’m sure he’ll go far.

Here is a thread of him talking about Blackhole exploit pack and saying it's getting bad rates: http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3026238

Maybe if you search a bit harder you might end up finding where it's hosted. Also it seems he said goodbye to spreading on 4chan.

What a shame.
