The sample is an RTF document that contains embedded OLE object data, indicated by the RTF_OBJDATA heuristic. The RTF_OBJUPDATE heuristic suggests that this OLE object is designed to be activated automatically upon opening the document. This mechanism is commonly used to deliver and execute malicious payloads, such as a downloader or an initial stage of an attack. No specific family could be identified, and the document body was unreadable.

Heuristics 2
