MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is an XLSM file containing VBA macros. The document body reveals a PowerShell command designed to download an executable from 'http://95.214.8.54/btl.exe' and then execute it. This indicates a downloader or droppper functionality. The presence of VBA macros and the PowerShell execution strongly suggest malicious intent.
