Some basic analysis of the binary:

Creates the following directories:

    %UserProfile%\537214
    %UserProfile%\684544
    %AppData%\dclogs
Creates a new registry value (so that it runs every time on startup)

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    537214 = "%UserProfile%\537214\svhost.exe"
Tries to connect to:

    tamere123.no-ip.org on ports 80 and 1604
The subdomain above leads to the following IP:

    198.203.29.120
Which, according to iplocation.net is located in:

    Los Angeles
    California
    ISP: Hugeserver Networks Llc
It's very unusual for malware to be hosted in USA so I would assume that either it is a compromised computer/bot or it is some script kiddie using his home connection, the latter is more likely since there were no exploits used just social engineering and luck.
