MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits characteristics of a legacy WordBasic macro virus, specifically identified by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Formater-2. The presence of 'ToolsMacro' heuristic firings and embedded strings like 'The Word Macro Virus By Formater' strongly suggest the execution of malicious macros. The document body contains Hungarian text and references to file paths and macro names, further supporting the macro-based execution.
