BBB Spam (again) / lazysit.net and 174.140.163.118

It looks like another BBB themed malware/spam run is on the loose.. there are probably many variations, but here is one that plopped into my spam filter:

This link goes via a couple of legitimate hacked sites to a payload site at lazysit.net/main.php?page=abfd0d069b45c17e on 174.140.163.118. The IP address looks like it might be a legitimate but hacked server, blocking the IP address rather than the domain should block any other malicious sites on the same server.
