MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample contains VBA macros that are designed to execute shell commands. Specifically, the macro attempts to download a file from the hardcoded IP address '209.201.88.110' to 'C:\hsf*.sys' and then writes FTP commands to 'c:\netldx.vxd' to upload this file. This indicates an attempt to download and execute a second-stage payload.
