Analysis Summary
A malicious Microsoft Word document was retrieved from a campaign which contains Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros that download and execute a malicious payload. The payload was identified as a variant of the Emotet Banking Trojan.
Another file retrieved from a different malware campaign is a .NET executable that contains a large bitmap resource. The resource is decoded into a keylogger and two password-stealing programs. The dropped file is a text file that contains the path to the .NET executable.

Remediation
- Block the threat indicators at their respective controls.
- Maintain up-to-date antivirus signatures and engines.
- Keep operating system patches up-to-date.
- Disable File and Printer sharing services. If these services are required, use strong passwords or Active Directory authentication.
- Restrict users’ ability (permissions) to install and run unwanted software applications. Do not add users to the local administrators group unless required.
- Exercise caution when opening e-mail attachments even if the attachment is expected and the sender appears to be known.
- Enable a personal firewall on agency workstations, configured to deny unsolicited connection requests.
- Scan for and remove suspicious e-mail attachments; ensure the scanned attachment is its “true file type” (i.e., the extension matches the file header).
- Scan all software downloaded from the Internet prior to executing.
