MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1547.001 Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder

The sample is an Excel file containing VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro. This macro attempts to copy itself to the Excel startup directory as 'StartUp.xls' to achieve persistence. It also sets up various event handlers to maintain its presence and potentially evade detection. The document body contains a mix of Chinese and English text related to business and contact information, which appears to be a lure.
