Yet another fake eFax spam. I mean really I cannot remember the last time someone sent me a fax. What's next? "Someone has sent you a telegram"?

I bet you've already guessed that the link in the message goes somewhere bad, in this case it downloads a ZIP files from cybercity-game.com/game/Documents.zip which unzips to a malicious executable Documents.scr which has a pretty low VirusTotal detection rate of 2/55.

The ThreatTrack report clearly identifies this as Cryptowall and identifies that it either downloads data from or posts data to the following locations:

188.165.204.210/1109inst2/NODE01/0/51-SP3/0/
188.165.204.210/1109inst2/NODE01/1/0/0/

suspendedwar.com/gwfqwaratrpl2c
suspendedwar.com/h0nxfsskh0xu

The 111.exe has a much wider detection rate of 22/53 and according the the ThreatTrack analysis of that binary there is some sort of network connection to the following IPs:

193.169.86.151
193.19.184.20

Overall, the web hosts involved are:
46.151.145.11 (Swift Trace Ltd, Crimea)
50.63.85.76 (GoDaddy, US)
76.74.170.149 (Daiger Sydes Gustafson LLC / Peer 1, US)
188.165.204.210 (OVH, France)
193.19.184.20 (PE Intechservice-B, Ukraine)
193.169.86.151 (Ivanov Vitaliy Sergeevich, Ukraine)

I would recommend blocking the following:
188.165.204.210
193.19.184.20
193.169.86.151
