T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is identified as a legacy WordBasic macro virus, specifically Win.Trojan.Hellgate-1. The document body contains text that mimics legitimate Word functions, likely intended to trick users into enabling or running macros. The presence of 'ToolsMacro' and other macro-related markers strongly suggests the execution of malicious code via WordBasic.
