The malicious payload is on [donotclick]ozonatorz.com/news/basic_dream-goods.php (report here) hosted on:

University of Illinois CS department compromised

There's a bunch of malware sites infesting University of Illinois CS department machines in the 128.174.240.0/24, range, mostly pointed out in this post. Compromised machines are tarrazu.cs.uiuc.edu, croft.cs.illinois.edu, tsvi-pc.cs.uiuc.edu, mirco.cs.uiuc.edu, ytu-laptop.cs.uiuc.edu, node3-3105.cs.uiuc.edu and they are on the following IPs with the following malicious domains (I would recommend blocking the whole /24):

Malware sites to block 29/5/13

These domains and IP addresses are connected to this malware spam run and belong to a group I call the "Amerika" gang (because they tend to use fake US addresses for their WHOIS details but really seem to be Russian).

It's quite a long set of lists: first there is a list of malware domains, then a list of malicious IPs and their web hosts, followed by a plain recommended blocklist list of IPs for copy-and-pasting, finally a list of IPs that are advertised as nameservers within this group for research purposes only.

You might notice something odd going on at the University of Illinois in the 128.174.240.0/24 range. Hmm..

I have also seen a similar spam with the subject "Amazon.com order of Sharp UN55EH5080 55-Inch" and I guess there are others. The spam goes through a legitimate hacked site and ends up on [donotclick]federal-credit-union.com/news/basic_dream-goods.php (report here). Luckily right at the moment this domain is suspended and won't work, however. There is a very large number of connected domains though which I am compiling a blocklist for and will post later..

Update: some other subjects include "Amazon.com order of Panasonic UN55EH6030 55-Inch" and "Amazon.com order of Akai NPK55KR9070 55-Inch".

Update 2: the malicious landing page has been replaced  with one using the domain ozonatorz.com.

Something (a bit) evil on 158.255.212.96 and 158.255.212.97

The IPs 158.255.212.96 and 158.255.212.97 (EDIS GmbH, Austria) are hosting malware used in injection attacks (see this example for fussball-gsv.de). These two examples report a TDS URL pattern which is resistant to automated analysis. The domains appear to be part of a traffic exchanger system (never a good idea), but they have been used to distribute malware.

The following sites are hosted on those two domains, plus a link to the Google Safebrowsing diagnostics:
linkstoads.net [no malware reported]
node1.hostingstatics.org [malware reported]
node2.hostingstatics.org
nodeph.hostingstatics.org
numstatus.com [no malware reported]
systemnetworkscripts.org [no malware reported]
finger2.climaoluhip.org [malware reported]
connecthostad.net [malware reported]
netstoragehost.com [malware reported]
nethostingdb.com [no malware reported]

In the cases where no malware has been reported it may well be because Google hasn't visited the site. The domains all have anonymous WHOIS details and have been registered in the past year or so.

I can identify a couple more IPs in this cluster, and I would advise you to treat all the domains here as suspect and add them to your blocklist:
158.255.212.96
158.255.212.97
193.102.11.3
205.178.182.1

Citibank spam / Statement 57-27-05-2013.zip

This fake Citibank email has a malicious attachment:

Date:      Mon, 27 May 2013 23:25:06 +0530 [13:55:06 EDT]
From:      Millard Hinton [leftoverss75@gmail.com]
Subject:      Merchant Statement

Enclosed (xlsx|Exel file|document|file) is your Citibank Paymentech electronic Merchant Billing Statement.
If you need assistance, please (contact|message|call) your Account Executive or call Merchant Services at the telephone number listed on your statement.
PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND BY USING REPLY. This (email|mail) is sent from an unmonitored email address, and your response will not be received by Citibank Paymentech.
Citibank Paymentech will not be responsible for any liabilities that may result from or relate to any failure or delay caused by Citibank Paymentech's or the Merchant's email service or otherwise. Citibank Paymentech recommends that Merchants continue to monitor their statement information regularly.

If you are not the intended recipient, you may not print, distribute, or copy this message or any attachments. If you have received this communication in error, please notify the sender by return e-mail and delete this message and any attachments from your computer. 

The attachment Statement 57-27-05-2013.zip contains a malicious executable Statement 57-27-05-2013.exe with a VirusTotal result of 12/46. The Comodo CAMAS report and Anubis report are pretty inconclusive. The ThreatTrack report [pdf] is more comprehensive some peer-to-peer traffic and accessing of the WAB. Simseer's prognosis is that this is a Zbot variant.

For the record, these are the checksums involved:
