Based on our contact (#084715), we're required to inform you about additional costs associated with your account, more information attached.

Reference numbers and sender names vary, the attachments are similar to the ones in this spam run. Various Malwr analyses for the samples I captured [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] show download locations at:

cssrd.org.lb/Wji57q.exe
fabiocaminero.com/2L5pGE.exe


This binary has a detection rate of 7/56. Analysis of the binary [6] [7] [8] shows that it phones home to the same IPs reported here.
