We received another piece of spam (thanks Curtis) pretending to be from the Better Business Bureau. Analysis of the file transferred (W6w8sCyj.exe) from prog.it appears to be a piece of malware (Win32/Cridex.Q) use to communicates via SSL with a C&C server.


List of domains/IP to watch for and block:

ajaxworkspace.com
prog.it
la-liga.ro
ejbsa.com.ar
technerds.ca
108.178.59.12

The email looks like this:
