MITRE ATT&CK

T1204 Malicious Link T1204.001 Malicious Link: Malicious Link

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros. The macro code explicitly adds a hyperlink to the URL "https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-hyperlink-buttons" and attempts to follow it. This suggests a social engineering attack aiming to direct the user to a potentially malicious website.
