MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an OLE document containing VBA macros, including AutoOpen, Document_Open, and Auto_Close, indicating malicious intent. ClamAV detections identify it as Win.Trojan.Psycho-3 and an extracted artifact as Doc.Trojan.Nori-1. The document body fabricates an urgent plea for building repairs to trick the user into enabling macros, which are known to be used for downloading and executing further malicious content.
