CISCO HAS DISCOVERED spearphishing malware in Microsoft Word that uses an exploit targeting the software's Visual Basic Scripting for Applications feature.

Cisco's investigation into the malware identified a group of attacks by the same threat actor, with Cisco exposing the threat actor's network after it had discovered a Microsoft Word document that downloaded and executed a secondary sample, which began beaconing to a command and control server.
