Malware spam: "Currys PC World [noreply_stores@currys.co.uk]" / "Your eReceipt"

This very convincing-looking email is not from Currys PC World but is instead a simple forgery with a malicious attachment.

Subject:    Your eReceipt

There are a few different versions of the attachment with fairly low detection rates [1] [2] and analysis of those two examples shows that the macro downloads from the following locations:

old.durchgegorene-weine.de/65dfg77/kmn653.exe
www.riucreatives.com/65dfg77/kmn653.exe


The payload here is the Dridex banking trojan and is identical to the one found here and here.

Looks like this is recirculating as I received a similar email last week.
