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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing a VBA macro, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The document body is formatted as a resume, suggesting a social engineering lure to trick the user into enabling macros. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' further confirms its malicious nature. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted from the macro itself.
