Just as little as yesterday's order that "proceeded."  It Look like today's ransomware subject is "Your Bill is Overdue." But then again, don't bother blocking it. Block ZIP'ed visual basic scripts. This round of Locky makes blocking a tad harder by using "application/octet-stream" as a Content-Type instead of "application/zip."

(and about 2 hrs after publishing this diary, another small update: the Content-Type now changed to application/x-compressed . Makes you wonder if they are reading this ;-) )

It may be safe to strip everything with an "application/octet-stream" attachment. 

For the last 30 minutes, I received just about 1,000 attachments like that, and about 4000 total. The first one I received arrived just after 8 am UTC.

Anti-Virus coverage is spotty as usual. Kaspersky and Sophos seem to be doing a rather good job lately detecting the initial downloaders

As usual, Xavier's mime-zip-trojan script does a beautiful job of keeping these attachments out of your inbox:

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.
