I see thanks for the verification. The malware start to be infecting customer from bitdefender producst 1 day earlier, but the sample arrive at our cegah ransomware malaysia fb group around the time i uploaded it to VT.

Anyway is the website behavior seems suspicious to you? as before i submitted the sample and forum post to available vendors, it seems to display as per below. But after around 15-30 minutes after its discovery, it change as 2nd screenshot

 

After Change:

It remove the link like it was detecting the site.

Though i still posses the original download link however. Its from .org domain name

ESET has blocked the url with the malicious payload for 3 months already so even if it hadn't been blocked by LiveGrid, it would have been blocked because of the url being on blacklist.
Therefore it surprises me that another AV could not protect the user from it.

Well maybe ESET researcher just that good ?

I'm not surprised. For example, browser based SmartScreen doesn't block the website connection.

@khairulaizat92 - BTW the site is now again showing the malicious download page. Appears the hacker can modify the web site at will.

Hm, I don't see any download link there. The url that the malware was previously downloaded from seems to have been dead since Oct 19.

When I went to the web site using this link: http: //europesebeweging.nl/crack-systools-pst-merge-3-3/ , the web page displayed was identical to the first screen shot @khairulaizat92 posted above. That web page does contain the download link. Obviously I didn't click on the link to check if it would start the download.

Note: I did override Eset's PUA alert to get to the web site.

Well update for both of you, the link indeed alive, and shockingly, the link automatically update new variant or type of trojan for grancrab 5.0.4 everyday. And i have been collecting sample everyday put it to the test and submit to the vendor that missed it. And the latest 4 Nov 2018 GMT+8 theres new update that eset missed, already submitted it though to samples@eset.com 

and yeah, im crazy enough to click it everyday, hahah. well obviously in safe environment, on unused pc with vpn enable.

[itman 1,089]

I have seen enough that Eset needs to outright block the web site URL as malicious and not treat it as a PUA.

[Marcos 3,890]

I'm unable to download any fresh malware from there with web protection enabled. Even after disabling web protection new variants are detected as Suspicious object.

Well, now I am confused, Isn't this how, and now thankfully, Eset would detect new malware for which there isn't an existing code signature for? I assume a behavior signature was triggered by the process's activity. Granted Eset's DNA signatures are pretty good against variants but the code could have been altered. Then the malware perpetrator tested against major AV detection.
