T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The sample is a malicious Word document containing VBA macros. These macros are designed to disable macro virus protection and replicate themselves to the Normal template, indicating an attempt to establish persistence. The script also attempts to write to a log file and includes hardcoded FTP-like credentials and an IP address, suggesting it may download or execute a second-stage payload.

VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATIONVBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.Matched line in script
