Malware spam: "Emailing: Scan0xxx" from "Sales" delivers Locky or Trickbot

This fake document scan delivers different malware depending on the victim's location:

Subject:       Emailing: Scan0963
From:       "Sales" [sales@victimdomain.tld]
Date:       Thu, September 28, 2017 10:31 am

Attached is a .7z file with a name matching the "Scan" part in the header and body text. MD5s of those seen so far (there may be more):

Inside is a malicious VBS script (example) which exhibits a curious feature:


If you are in the UK, Australia, Ireland, Belgium or Luxembourg you get one binary [VT 12/64], everyone else gets another [VT 20/64]. My Online Security describes this in more detail - the first group get the Trickbot banking trojan and everyone gets Locky ransomware.

In the samples I saw, the Trickbot download locations were:

autoecole-jeanpierre.com/9hciunery8g?
autoecoleathena.com/9hciunery8g?
conlin-boats.com/9hciunery8g?

melting-potes.com/9hciunery8g?

The Locky download locations:

There may be other locations too.

The following legitimate services are used for geolocation. They might be worth monitoring:

https://ipinfo.io/json
http://www.geoplugin.net/json.gp
http://freegeoip.net/json/


All these recent attacks have used .7z archive files which would require 7zip or a compatible program to unarchive. Most decent mail filtering tools should be able to block or strip this extension, more clever ones would be able to determine that there is a .vbs script in there and block on that too.

UPDATE

A more complete list of download locations from a trusted source (thank you!)

Just a followup, running these samples in a sandbox, the servers hosting whatever malware it's trying to grab are returning status 503.
