Malware spam: "Monika [monika.goetz@bigk.co.uk]" / "Proforma Invoice"

This fake invoice leads to malware. It is not being sent by Big K Products UK Ltd, their systems have not been hacked or compromised. Instead, the email is a forgery designed to get you to click the malicious attachment.

The document attached is Proforma.doc which is currently undetected by AV vendors. It contains a malicious macro [pastebin] which attempts to download a binary from:

http://solutronixfze.com/js/bin.exe

..which is saved to %TEMP%\324234234.exe. This has a VirusTotal detection rate of 2/56 and the Malwr report shows it attempting to phone home to:

59.148.196.153 (HKBN, Hong Kong)
74.208.11.204 (1&1, US)


These IPs have been used many times in similar recent attacks an I recommend you block them.

It also drops a DLL with a VirusTotal detection rate of 2/57.  The payload appears to be the Dridex banking trojan.
