Malware spam: "Sent from my Samsung device" leads to Locky

This spam comes in a few different variations:

From:    Lottie
Date:    27 July 2016 at 10:38
Subject:    scan0000510

Sent from my Samsung device

The subject can be "SCAN", "scan" or "COPY" with a random number. Attached is a .DOCM file with a name that matches the subject. This file contains a malicious macro which downloads a component from one of the following locations:

alldesu.web.fc2.com/j988765
dslandscape.50webs.com/j988765
gmp.home.ro/j988765
hobbyfraeser.homepage.t-online.de/j988765
italcase.ve.it/j988765
mendikurconsulting.com/j988765

www.milleniumitaly.com/j988765
yogamaruco.web.fc2.com/j988765


The dropped file is Locky ransomware and it has a detection rate of 2/52. It phones home to the following locations:

5.9.253.173/upload/_dispatch.php (Dmitry Zheltov, Russia / Hetzner, Germany)
178.62.232.244/upload/_dispatch.php (Digital Ocean, Netherlands)


(Thank you to my usual source for this data)

There is nothing of value in the 5.9.253.160/27 range, and several IPs appear to have been hosting malware in the past.

Recommended blocklist:
5.9.253.160/27
178.62.232.244
