Malware spam: "Invoice 01147665 19/12 £4024.80" / "Ibstock Group"

This fake financial spam is not from the Ibstock Group but instead contains a malicious attachment. It is closely related to this spam which was sent out earlier today.

Hi,

Happy New Year to you !

Hope you had a lovely break.

Many thanks for the payment. There’s just one invoice that hasn’t been paid and doesn’t seem to have a query against it either.

Its invoice  01147665  19/12  £4024.80  P/O ETCPO 35094

Can you have a look at it for me please?

Thank-you !

Kind regards

The sender's name varies, as does the reference number which matches the name of the attachment. I have seen three unique samples so far (there are probably more) with VirusTotal detection rates of 2/54 [1] [2] [3] and the Malwr reports [4] [5] [6] show these documents communicating with:

193.201.227.12/ideal/jenny.php
91.223.88.205/ideal/jenny.php
176.103.62.108/ideal/jenny.php


IPs are allocated to:

176.103.62.108 (Ivanov Vitaliy Sergeevich, Ukraine)
91.223.88.205 (Private Person Anton Malyi, Ukraine)
193.201.227.12 (PE Tetyana Mysyk, Ukraine)


As before, a binary geroin.exe is dropped which communicates with:

78.47.119.93 (Hetzner, Germany)

The payload is the Dridex banking trojan. The recommended blocklist and sample MD5s can be found in this post.
