Infection Chain:

The infection chain started with me browsing to the compromised website. In the website’s source code is the malicious iframe associated with the pseudoDarkleech campaign. Below is an image of the script on the site:

The URL in the iframe is pointing to Rig EK landing page. Here is the GET for the landing page:

Following the host being redirected to the Rig EK landing page we see a GET for a Flash exploit:

The Flash exploit is followed by the payload:

There was a 2KB extension-less .js file used as a downloader dropped in %TEMP%. That file self deleted itself and then we see rad57379.tmp.exe being dropped in %TEMP% along with some other CryptMIC files. Below is an image of the Desktop and the %TEMP% folder post-infection:

You can see the ransom notes on the Desktop and in %TEMP%. I recommend blocking the Rig EK IP and the post-infection IP.
