Malware spam: "Suspicious movements" leads to Locky

This fake financial spam leads to Locky ransomware:

Subject:     Suspicious movements
From:     Marlene Parrish
Date:     Tuesday, 8 November 2016, 12:52

The names, addresses and telephone numbers will vary from message to message. Attached is a ZIP file (e.g. pdf_recipient_3608c4a.zip) which contains a malicious javascript (e.g. NRV_J51E8_.js) which looks like this (note the insane amount of whitespace).

That particular script downloads a malicious component from one of the following locations:

vexerrais.net/6sbdh
centinel.ca/wkr1j6n
3-50-90.ru/u4y5t
alpermetalsanayi.com/vuvls
flurrbinh.net/6mz3c5q


There will probably be other download locations. This Hybrid Analysis and this Malwr report show the Locky ransomware in action. This version of Locky does not appear to use C2 servers, but instead drops a malicious DLL with an MD5 of 75e6faf192d00b296d89df2cd56c454a and a detection rate of 9/56.

UPDATE

My usual reliable source (thank you) informs me that there are indeed C2 servers (see the end of the post). The download locations are as follows:
