The malicious payload is at [donotclick]greatfallsma.com/detects/impossible_appearing_timing.php (report here) hosted on:

50.7.251.59 (FDC Servers, Czech Republic)
176.120.38.238 (Langate, Ukraine)

These are the same two servers used in this attack, blocking them would probably be a good idea.

UPDATE: the malicious domain yoga-thegame.net is also on the same servers (report here)
