several days of targeting ClassMates.com with a fake video, they are now targeting UMB Bank with an online banking "Demo video", similar to the one we saw against Bank of America two weeks ago.
The emails look like this:
UMB BANKING SYSTEM CHANGES NOTICE:
Update December 08, 2008.
Experience Digital Banking News for yourself.
Want to know how quick, easy and safe our online banking service is today?
You can view our demo of the service, which is ideal for those times when you’d like more detailed information.
The Demo requires Macromedia Flash Player.
Proceed to view UMB System Demo>>
Sincerely, Janie Howe.

The webpage that the current spam points out looks like this:
Of course the video is fake, and trying to play the video (or just visiting the site) tries to get you to download a fake Adobe Player upgrade, which is actually a virus which is designed to steal login credentials.
Stolen credentials for any website where you log in, as well as FTP logins, ICQ logins, and IMAP and POP email logins, are passed to the criminal's computer in the Ukraine using strings that look like these:
ftp_server=%s&ftp_login=%s&ftp_pass=%s&version=%lu
icq_user=%s&icq_pass=%s
imap_server=%s&imap_login=%s&imap_pass=%s
pop3_server=%s&pop3_login=%s&pop3_pass=%s
user=%s&pass=%s
The first five domains we saw vs. UMB Bank was:
contactups.com
demoupdtateumb.com
umbexchange.com
umbupdates.com
videoumbpanels.com
These domains were created TODAY using the registrar BizCN.com. This
group usually has more domains than that. We expect more are being
created as I type. We've seen about 100 spam emails for this campaign
so far.
The nameserver for these domains, "ns1.panelhosts.com" was also
registered today, using this fake contact information:

The path name for the fake video is:
/demotour.htm
The initial malware drop is a file called:
Adobe_Player10.exe
The file had not previously been uploaded to VirusTotal.
VirusTotal detections were: 17 of 38
File size: 3169 bytesMD5...: 1165b5ef89c61f8f61d3b1d91b374c9c
Strings on that malware indicate that second stage malware will probably
be loaded from:
hxxp://premierinet.com/adobe2.exe
The Adobe2 file had also not been previously uploaded to VirusTotal.
Another interesting string was C:\m_unpacker\packed.exe
VirusTotal Detections were: 3 of 38
File size: 36864 bytesMD5...: 4cc95326ed31689a50ca395eda99e8b7
Adobe2.exe sends all of its stolen data to: 91.203.93.57. Gee, does
that sound familiar to anyone?
As before, this is an advanced password stealer, grabbing webforms, ICQ,
POP3, and FTP passwords.
The spammed emails are advertising domains which are being served on
fast flux IP addresses. For example, the current IPs are:
68.36.117.128
75.21.90.70
76.211.222.243
208.127.129.95
24.16.209.93
When we look at some of these IPs to see what they have resolved, we
confirm that they have recently been used for a bunch of badness,
including the Classmates malware. For instance, 68.36.117.128 included:
adobeflasplayer10.com
adobeflash107.com
clasmatessup.com
downloadcentrer.com
downloadforupdates.com
downloads777.com
downloadservers7.com
onlineservclass.com
