MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering AutoOpen and Auto_Close heuristics, indicating malicious intent. The document body discusses internal controls in state-owned commercial banks, which appears to be a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the file. No scripts were extracted, and no specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were found in the provided evidence, limiting the ability to determine the exact payload or family. The presence of AutoOpen and Auto_Close macros strongly suggests an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening or closing the document.
