Malware spam: Fwd:Accumsan Neque LLC Updated Invoice / Please turn on the Edit mode and Macroses!

This malware spam may come from several different companies, but I have only a single sample. It is notable for the mis-spelling of "Macros" as "Macroses" in the document.

Attached is a document Q7FX9ZH.doc with the distinctive text Attention! To view this document, please turn on the Edit mode and Macroses!

Needless to say, enabling Edit mode and Macroses is a Very Bad Idea. The VirusTotal detection rate for this file is just 2/54. Hybrid Analysis [1] [2] shows that the macro first downloads from:

www.design-i-do.com/mgs.jpg?OOUxs4smZLQtUBK=54

This looks to be an unremarkable JPEG file..

(Note that I have munged the JPEG slightly to stop virus scanners triggering). As far as I can tell, the JPEG actually contains data that is decrypted by the macro (a technique called steganography). A malicious VBS is created [pastebin] and a malicious EXE file is dropped with a VirusTotal result of 7/54.

Automated analysis of the dropped binary [1] [2] shows that it phones home to:

216.59.16.25 (Immedion LLC, US / VirtuaServer Informica Ltda, Brazil)

I strongly recommend that you block traffic to that IP. Payload is uncertain, but possibly the Dridex banking trojan.
