Attached is an archive file CH_Case_8435407.zip which in turn contains the malicious executable CH_Case_21032014.scr which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 3/49.

The Malwr analysis again shows an attempted connection to a Linode IP at 50.116.4.71 using the domain aulbbiwslxpvvphxnjij.biz.

The malware also downloads a config file from a hacked WordPress installation at [donotclick]premiercrufinewine.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/2103UKp.qta plus a number of other domains that are not resolving (listed below).

I would recommend that you the following blocklist in combination with this one.
