MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The VBA macro contains a reference to PowerShell and uses the WinExec API to call it. The PowerShell command is constructed by concatenating strings to form the URL 'https://bit.ly/2NDvCOG', which is then used to download and execute a second-stage payload. This indicates a typical macro-based downloader attack pattern.
