MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Excel document containing what appears to be a legitimate educational planning schedule. However, a critical heuristic firing indicates it is a legacy Excel formula macro virus, specifically mentioning 'Poppy by VicodinES' and 'Narkotic Network', which are known indicators of older malware families. The presence of 'XL4Poppy' further supports this. The document body's content is likely a lure to encourage opening and interacting with the malicious macros.
