The link in the email message in this case goes to:

www.sugarsync.com/pf/D3259546_878_449109824?directDownload=3Dtrue

This downloads an executable PROTESTO.exe with a VirusTotal detection rate of 15/56. Automated analysis [1] [2] [3] shows it dropping a further executable OViLQKDS.exe which has a detection rate of 16/56. Analysis of that is inconclusive [4] [5] [6] is inconclusive, but it looks like some kind of information stealer.

Sender names, contact number and attachment names vary, but I have seen just a single variant of the attachment with a VirusTotal detection rate of 1/55. The Malwr report for this sample sees a download from:

bakery.woodwardcounseling.com/michigan/map.php

This download location is almost certainly completely malicious, and is hosted at:

217.12.199.94 (ITL, Ukraine)

This dropped file has a detection rate of 3/56. That VirusTotal and this Malwr report indicate network traffic to:

38.64.199.33 (PSINet, Canada)
188.93.239.28 (DotSi, Portugal)

The payload is uncertain, but it could be the Dridex banking trojan.

UPDATE

The DeepViz analysis  also shows traffic to:

85.17.155.148 (Leaseweb, Netherlands)

Recommended blocklist:
217.12.199.94
38.64.199.33
188.93.239.28

Fake jobs: chile-hh.com, cl-joblists.com, pt-joblist.com and spain-joblist.com

Four new fake job domains today, targeting victims in South America, Spain and Portugal.

chile-hh.com
cl-joblists.com
pt-joblist.com
spain-joblist.com

These domains were all registered in the past few days. The standard email approach seems to be "from" the victim, and they are often badly translated into Portuguese and Spanish.

The "jobs" on offer are not jobs at all, they usually involve money laundering and other criminal activities. They form part of this very long running scam that has been going on for years.

Three of the four domains have a new (fake) registrant that we haven't seen before:

Alexey Kernel
    Email: johnkernel26@yahoo.co.uk
    Organization: Alexey Kernel
    Address: Kreshchatyk Street 34
    City: Kiev

    Country: UA
    Phone: +38.00442794512 

If you have an example email, please consider sharing it in the comments.

Fake jobs: chile-hh.com, cv-trabalho.com, espana-hh.com and worldjoblists.com

These domains are being used to advertise fake jobs and appear to be targeting Spanish and Portuguese speakers. They form part of this long-running series of domains associated with fake job offers.

chile-hh.com
cv-trabalho.com
espana-hh.com
worldjoblists.com

The jobs being offered are typically money laundering (lavado de dinero / lavagem de dinheiro) which are highly illegal. It is possible that some other jobs offered may be "back office" functions, including translation into local languages.

The domains are very new, registered in the past two days to:

Ricardo Lopez
