Attached is a file IKEA receipt 607656390.doc which contains this malicious macro and which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 4/55.

Analysis of the document and whatever it downloads is pending, but this is likely to be the Dridex banking trojan.

UPDATE 1:

The reverse.it analysis  of the first sample shows a download from:

alvarezsantos.com/4f67g7/d6f7g8.exe

This dropped binary has a detection rate of just 2/55.

Two further samples have now been seen (VT results [1] [2]) and according to the analysis of one them, it downloads from:

experassistance.fr/4f67g7/d6f7g8.exe

Analysis of the dropped binary is pending. Please check back shortly.

UPDATE 2:

A further reverse.it analysis shows another download location of:

www.retrogame.de/4f67g7/d6f7g8.exe

The reverse.it analysis of the dropped binary is inconclusive.

UPDATE 3:

According to sources clever than I, this doesn't appear to be Dridex at all, but Neutrino Bot / Kasidet which downloads the Shifu banking trojan in the UK.
