Malware spam: "Payment Confirmation 29172230" / "reed.co.uk Credit Control [mailto:creditcontrol.rol@reed.co.uk]"

This fake financial spam does not come from Reed, but is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment:

From: reed.co.uk Credit Control [mailto:creditcontrol.rol@reed.co.uk]
Sent: Monday, June 15, 2015 11:10 AM
Subject: Payment Confirmation 29172230

The only sample I have seen so far has an attachment 29172230_15.06.15.doc [detection rate 3/57] which contains this malicious macro [pastebin] which downloads a component from the following location:

http://www.freewebstuff.be/34/44.exe

This is saved as %TEMP%\ginkan86.exe and has a VirusTotal detection rate of 6/57. There will probably be other download locations, but they should all lead to an identical binary. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] show traffoc to the following IPs:

136.243.14.142 (Hetzner, Germany)
71.14.1.139 (Charter Communications, US)
173.230.130.172 (Linode, US)
94.23.53.23 (OVH, France)
176.99.6.10 (Global Telecommunications Ltd, Russia)


According the this Malwr report, it also drops a Dridex DLL with a detection rate of 18/57.

Recommended blocklist:
136.243.14.142
71.14.1.139
173.230.130.172
