Afternoon,

Please find attached the statement of account.

We look forward to receiving payment for the December invoice as this is now due for
payment.

Attached is an archive Statement.zip which in turn contains a malicious executable Statement.scr which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 6/50. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] show attempted connections to the following domains and IPs:

188.247.130.190 (Prime Telecom SRL, Romania)
gobemall.com
gobehost.info

184.154.11.228 (Singlehop, US)
terenceteo.com

184.154.11.233 (Singlehop, US)
quarkspark.org

The two Singlehop IPs appear to belong to Host The Name (hostthename.com) which perhaps indicates a problem at that reseller.

Recommended blocklist:
184.154.11.228
184.154.11.233
188.247.130.190
