Win.Trojan.Nostradamus-1 · confidence 95%

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

The file is detected as Win.Trojan.Nostradamus-1 and contains legacy WordBasic macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a known indicator of malicious activity. The document body explicitly mentions 'NOSTRADAMUS Virus' and includes text that appears to be part of a lure to enable macros, indicating a social engineering tactic to execute the malicious code. The macro's intent is to infect the system by copying itself and potentially modifying document templates.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Nostradamus-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Nostradamus-1
  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
