MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initiating malicious activity upon opening. The ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Trojan.Story-1' further confirms its malicious nature. The VBA macros exhibit string obfuscation, suggesting an attempt to hide malicious code. The document body is minimal and does not provide further context on the lure.
