"Invoice 17731 from Victoria Commercial Ltd" spam leads to DOC exploit

This fake invoice email leads to a malicious Word document:

From: Dave Porter [mailto:dave.porter@blueyonder.co.uk]
Sent: 06 November 2013 12:06
To: [redacted]
Subject: Invoice 17731 from Victoria Commercial Ltd

Dear Customer :

Your invoice is attached to the link below:
[donotclick]http://www.vantageone.co.uk/invoice17731.doc
Please remit payment at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your business - we appreciate it very much.

Sincerely,

Victoria Commercial Ltd
The email originates from bosmailout13.eigbox.net [66.96.186.13] which belongs the Endurance International Group in the US. The malicious .DOC file is hosted at [donotclick]www.vantageone.co.uk/invoice17731.doc which appears to be a hacked legitimate web site.

Detection rates have continued to improve throughout the day and currently stand at 10/47. The vulnerability in use is CVE-2012-0158 / MS12-027. If your Word installation is up-to-date and fully patched then it should block this attack.

A sandbox analysis confirms that it is malicious, in particular it connects to 158.255.2.60 (Mir Telematiki Ltd, Russia) and the following domains:
feed404.dnsquerys.com
feeds.nsupdatedns.com

It is the same attack as described by Blaze's Security Blog and I would advise you to look at that posting for more details. In the meantime, here is a recommended blocklist:
118.67.250.91
158.255.2.60
feed404.dnsquerys.com
feeds.nsupdatedns.com
customer.invoice-appmy.com
customers.invoice-appmy.org
customer.appmys-ups.orgfeed404.dnsquerys.org
feed.queryzdnsz.org
static.invoice-appmy.com
