Attached is a ZIP file (the ones I have seen so far all begin with responses_) which contains a malicious script name in a similar way to employees -382-.js. These have a typical detection rate of 4/56.

Two samples analysed by Malwr [1] [2] show download locations from:

newgeneration2010.it/mkc27f
projectodetalhe.pt/do5j36a


There will be many other download locations too. These drop two different binaries (VirusTotal results [3] [4]). Those two VT results plus these two DeepViz analyses [5] [6] show the malware phoning home to:

138.201.93.46 (Hetzner, Germany)
107.181.187.12 (Total Server Solutions, US)
212.109.219.31 (JSC Server, Russia)
5.152.199.70 (Redstation, UK)


This behaviour is consistent with Locky ransomware.

Recommended blocklist:
138.201.93.46
107.181.187.12
212.109.219.31
5.152.199.70
