Malware spam: DO-NOT-REPLY Datasharp UK Ltd - Monthly Invoice & Report

This spam email pretends to be from a wholly legitimate company called Datasharp UK Ltd but it isn't, it is a spoof. Datasharp is not sending the spam, their systems have not been compromised in any way.

So far I have seen two different Word documents attached with low detection rates at VirusTotal [1] [2] containing one of two malicious macros [1] [2] [pastebin] which then attempt to download an additional component from the following locations:

http://TICKLESTOOTSIES.COM/js/bin.exe
http://nubsjackbox.oboroduki.com/js/bin.exe

The tickletootsies.com download location has been cleaned up, but the other one is still working at it downloads a file with a VirusTotal detection rate of 5/56. That VirusTotal report also shows that it attempts to POST to 74.208.11.204:8080 (1&1, US) which has been a malware C&C server for several weeks and is definitely worth blocking.

UPDATE: the Malwr report shows connections to the following IPs which I recommend you block:
59.148.196.153
74.208.11.204
