The malicious payload is at [donotclick]one.1000houses.biz/links/deep_recover-result.php hosted on 199.195.116.185 (A2 Hosting, US). The domain 1000houses.biz appears to be a legitimate domain where the GoDaddy account has been hacked to serve malware on subdomains. There seems to be a long-standing issue with GoDaddy domains being used in this way.

Blocking 199.195.116.185 would probably be prudent.
