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

The VBA macro contains a call to CreateObject and references PowerShell, indicating it's designed to execute a malicious script. The script itself reconstructs and executes a PowerShell command that downloads a VBScript file named 'notepad.vbs' from the URL 'http://dafdghf.lm/lcgs/detcetorP Client/sbv.tneilC/pmet:vne$,'sbv.dapeton\'' and then executes it. This indicates a downloader pattern.
