MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The RTF document contains a ransomware lure, instructing the user that their files are encrypted and demanding payment in Bitcoin within a limited timeframe. It also explicitly tells the user to disable their antivirus software, which is a common tactic to prevent detection and removal of malicious components. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 3

  • Security software disable instruction high SE_SECURITY_BYPASS
    Document instructs the user to disable antivirus or security software — unusual for ordinary documents and high-risk in an unsolicited file
  • Callback phishing phone lure medium SE_CALLBACK_LURE
    Document asks the user to call a phone number in billing, refund, subscription, fraud, or security context — consistent with callback phishing or tech-support scam patterns. Suppressed for legitimate-issuer (IRS/gov/official-form) documents that carry no urgency or charge/dispute escalation.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
