Device Name: Not Set
Device Model: MX-2600N
Location: Not Set

File Format: XLS MMR(G4)
Resolution: 200dpi x 200dpi

Attached file is scanned document in XLS format.
Use Microsoft(R)Excel(R) to view the document.Attached is a file in the format xerox@victimdomain.tld_20151007_160214.xls (where victimdomain.tld is the victim's own domain), which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 3/56. This Excel file contains a malicious macro [pastebin] which in THIS case downloads a binary from the following location:

alarmtechcentral.com/fw43t2d/98kj6.exe

There will be other versions of the XLS file which will download components from other locations, however the payload will be the same, and it currently has a detection rate of 2/56. The VirusTotal report indicates traffic to:

84.246.226.211 (ELB Multimedia, France)

Blocking traffic to and from that IP is recommended.

Automated analysis is pending, please check back later. The payload is probably the Dridex banking trojan.

UPDATE
Here are the Hybrid Analysis reports for the XLS file and executable.

I just received “mx-4100n@redacted.tld_20151210_141946.xls” sent by “MX-4100N ”. The subject was “Scanned document from MX-4100N”. Sounds like they're diversifying printer models to make this harder to filter. Sketchy stuff. Thanks for the writeup.
