I have seen at least four different variations of the attachment, named in the format remittance_advice14DDA974.doc (VirusTotal results [1] [2] [3] [4]). These Malwr reports [5] [6] [7] [8] show those samples communicating with:

http://179.60.144.19/victor/onopko.php
http://5.34.183.127/victor/onopko.php

Those IPs are:
179.60.144.19 (Veraton Projects, Netherlands)
5.34.183.127 (ITL Company, Ukraine)


UPDATE 1this related spam run also downloads from:

91.223.88.206/victor/onopko.php

This is allocted to "Private Person Anton Malyi" in Ukraine.

A file aarab.exe is dropped (MD5 05219ea0aefedc873cecaa1f5100c617) [VT 4/53] which appears to communicate with:

198.50.234.211 (OVH, Canada)

I strongly recommend that you block traffic to that IP. The payload is the Dridex banking trojan, this attack is consistent with botnet 120.

UPDATE 2

This other Dridex 120 spam run uses different download locations:

46.17.100.209/aleksei/smertin.php
31.131.20.217/aleksei/smertin.php


The dropped "aarab.exe" file is also different, with an MD5 of c19959c2d372a7d40d4ba0f99745f114 and a detection rate of just 2/54.


Recommended blocklist:
198.50.234.211
179.60.144.19
5.34.183.127
91.223.88.206
46.17.100.209
31.131.20.217
