The Word document contains a
malicious macro [pastebin] but is currently
undetected at VirusTotal (the Malwr report doesn't say much but is
here).
The macro then downloads
http://ctmail.me/1.exe and executes it. This malicious binary has a a detection rate of
4/52, and according to the
Malwr report it contacts the following URLs:
http://84.40.9.34/Xl37yRuH5LS6Nqk/~yNk%2C2IO.1Jw9/wm@OF0fR%2BPvics%2CR8H/br~%262O%2Cu3k%3FI~i7%2D

84.40.9.34 is Hostway in Belgium,
213.143.97.18 is Wien Energie, Austria. The malware also downloads a DLL as

UPDATE 1 - 2014-11-03
A very similar email is doing the rounds this morning with a different version of the attachment (called
ORDER-203-2083868-0173124.doc) which has a VirusTotal detection rate of
0/54 and contains this
malicious macro [pastebin]. This downloads a file from
http://hilfecenter-harz.de/1.exe which also has
zero detections at VirusTotal. According the the
Malwr report this binary connects to the following URLs:
http://84.40.9.34/E8Zf43JY1/8/wXw4M%26H~J%7EQ5/./
http://37.139.23.200/NQwFPhXiqAw/i27%24Yz~M%2CS_/x$%2DKWssW9Yh/L3

http://37.139.23.200/RqCGVww2Sup3iH5rZ/h=abyF$sO%3DheysYSV/n5%3Fs/
It also downloads a malicious DLL which has a VirusTotal detection rate of
7/54 which identifies this as a version of
Cridex.
Recommended blocklist 2:
84.40.9.34
37.139.23.200

UPDATE 2 - 2014-11-03
A second version of the attachment is also being circulated, this time with a
slightly different macro [pastebin] which downloads the same binary as before from
http://garfield67.de/1.exe. I have updated blocklist 2.
UPDATE 3 - 2014-11-06
The spam has been updated with a new date and there are now three new malicious Word documents
[1] [2] [3] [
Malwr report] which contains one of two macros
[1] [2] that download a malware binary from one of the two following locations:
http://castours.com/js/bin.exe
http://www.irming.hr/js/bin.exe
This file is saved as
%TEMP%\LNZMTDCWLZX.exe and has a VirusTotal detection rate of
4/53. The
Malwr report shows that it connects to:
http://84.40.9.34/NjTrZuSH2&rb/@&RT/aATv%2BqGe%2C
It also drops a DLL which has a VirusTotal detection rate of
8/53 which is identified as Cridex.
