(EW.com) — She might not get paid as much as “Iron Man,” but there’s no doubt that celestial beauty Angelina Jolie is smiling all the way to the bank.

This year, Jolie topped Forbes’ annual list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood with an incredibly robust $33 million.

The link in the email goes to a legitimate hacked site and then to one or more of three scripts:

[donotclick]00002nd.rcomhost.com/immanent/surfeit.js
[donotclick]theplaidfox.com/bulbs/falcon.js
[donotclick]sandbox.infotraxdevdocs.com/afforestation/provosts.js

From there the victim is sent to a landing page at [donotclick]deltadazeresort.net/topic/able_disturb_planning.php. At the time of writing this hijacked GoDaddy domain does not resolve, but it was recently hosted on the following IPs alongside these other hacked GoDaddy domains:

66.175.217.235 (Linode, US)
173.246.104.136 (Gandi, US)
