Intuit spam / Invoice_3056472.zip

It's an email from a company I have no dealings with, with a ZIP file that contains an EXE file! What could possible go wrong? Oh..

The attachment is Invoice_3056472.zip which in turn contains a malicious file Invoice_092513.exe which has a pretty low VirusTotal detection rate of just 4/48.

Automated analysis [1] [2] [3] [4] shows the usual sort of badness, including a call home to gidleybuilders.com on 78.157.201.219  (UK Dedicated Servers Ltd, UK) which we also saw being used in an attack last week. Two compromised domains in a week seems a bit more than a coincidence. For information only, the following legitimate domains are also on that same server:
