MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The embedded VBA macro contains obfuscated PowerShell code that attempts to download a file named 'file.exe' to the temporary directory and execute it. The PowerShell command reconstructs the URL 'http://netcsy.qg.sinimda/qg.netcsy/exe.elif/exe.FSYgSoaTwGTdaqx/download.ntecjbo-wen()' and uses it to download the payload. The use of CreateObject and PowerShell execution points to a downloader or dropper functionality.
