MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initiating malicious activity upon opening the document. ClamAV signatures indicate it is a known trojan. The document body discusses a program for responsible gaming retailers, which appears to be a lure to encourage macro execution. The primary intent is likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.
