"Scanned Image from a Xerox WorkCentre" spam

This is a thoroughly old school spam with a malicious attachment.

Date:      Thu, 31 Jul 2014 18:16:08 +0000 [14:16:08 EDT]
From:      Local Scan [scan.614@victimdomain]
Subject:      Scanned Image from a Xerox WorkCentre

You have a received a new image from Xerox WorkCentre.

Sent by: victimdomain
Number of Images: 5
Attachment File Type: ZIP [PDF]

WorkCentre Pro Location: Machine location not set
Device Name: victimdomain

Attached file is scanned image in PDF format.
Adobe(R)Reader(R) can be downloaded from the following URL: http://www.adobe.com/

Guess what.. it isn't an image at all, but a ZIP file with the unusual name of Image_[_var=partorderb].zip which contain a malicious executable Image_07312014.scr, scoring a measly 1/54 at VirusTotal.

The Comodo CAMAS report shows that the malware downloads components from the following locations:

94.23.247.202/3107us2/SANDBOXA/0/51-SP2/0/
94.23.247.202/3107us2/SANDBOXA/1/0/0/

There are some further clues in the VirusTotal comments as to what the malware does. Sophos has also seen the 94.23.247.202 (OVH, France) IP before.
