Last week Brad mentioned malware being delivered via word documents in SPAM (https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Malicious+spam+Subject+RE+Bill/20417/).  Seems like this morning there was another run.  Subjects vary and the messages vary slightly, the end result is however nasty.  All have word attachments.  

Subjects Seen: "Transaction",  "LM Transaction" ,  "ENA Invoice"

Content:

Good morning
Please find the payment details enclosed with this message. The Payment should appear on your account within 1 day.

Regards
Steel Potts

Hello
Please review the invoice enclosed with this email. The Payment should appear on your account within 1 day.

Kindest regards
Jackson Blackwell

-------------------------------------------------

Greetings
Please find the receipt attached to this email. The Payment should appear on your bank in 1-2 days.

Best regards
Guy Roman

-------------------------------------------------

These are of course not a definitive list of subjects, but the pattern is fairly clear. 

It may be an opportunity for some user education, especially those in your organisation whose job it is to click on attachments. 

Cheers

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
