# Macro Execution Analysis

Following the detection of the phishing email, the next stage in TA505's attack chain involves the execution of malicious macros embedded within a document. These macros are designed to extract and execute a payload that facilitates further compromise of the system.

## Key Findings:
- **Document Type**: The document was identified as a Microsoft Word file with embedded macros.
- **Payload Delivery**: Once the document is opened, the macro downloads a secondary payload from a remote server.
- **Obfuscation Techniques**: The macro code is heavily obfuscated to evade detection from signature-based defenses.

## Recommendations:
- Implement strict email filtering and attachment scanning policies.
- Educate users on recognizing suspicious documents and avoiding macro-enabled files.
