MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample contains VBA macros that disable macro security and attempt to download a second-stage payload. The script constructs a URL to '209.201.88.110' and writes it to 'c:\netldx.vxd', along with FTP credentials. It also attempts to log malicious content to a temporary file 'c:\hsf????.sys'. The ClamAV detection further supports the malicious nature of the file.
