 Interestingly they've used the same malware XLS has the earlier post today and just renamed it...

eg.

This malware run: BAC998947HJ.xls (hash: 061930c8fc246872dda3af5670d3ea44)
Ealier malware run: ID_00477M.xls: (hash: 061930c8fc246872dda3af5670d3ea44)
All varients were zero hour (0 hour) detected by:

Sanesecurity.Malware.24631.XlsHeur (phish.ndb)
and  Additionally Sanesecurity.Rogue.0hr.20141210-1026 (rogue.hdb)

Update:

Since the macro malware downloads an exe... it's interesting to see how many times
the malware exe file has actually succeeded  in being downloaded:

73,655 -- http://217 DOT 174 DOT 240 DOT 46 :8080/stat/stati.php
73,672 -- http://187 DOT 33 DOT 2 DOT 211 :8080/stat/stati.php

That's a few infected pc's there :(

Cheers,

I just had a similar email - very believable and reputedly from a real company with Google history -

Here is what the email said and how it was signed.

Have just received two emails from K J Watking & Co both re remittances. really worrying as, having opened on I found that there were real xls sheets of my current bank accounts. Does this virus affect Macs?

Anyone who's downloaded these XLS files and found relevant information - suggest you check your on-line banking system - if it's all through on particular bank, they themselves may have been hacked!

Looks like the anonymous colleagues are inviting people to open the XLS files ... beware of that
