It appears to come from the sender's own email address, but this is a simple forgery (explained here). Attached is a ZIP file with a name similar to Photo 05-11-2016, 03 26 04.zip (the numbers in the attachment
match the references in the email). It contains a .js file with a similar name.

This drops a file with a detection rate of 3/56. This is likely to be Locky ransomware, a full analysis is pending. However an earlier Locky campaign today phoned home to:

185.82.202.170 (Host Sailor, United Arab Emirates)
88.214.236.11 (Overoptic Systems, UK / Russia)
5.34.183.40 (ITL, Ukraine)

According to a DeepViz report,  this sample has identical characteristics.

Recommended blocklist:

Thank you for posting this. Just received one of these today. I knew it was spam because I didn't send a "Photo" from myself to myself, but I was curious as to how they were able to do it via my email address. Now I know!
