October 12 - Malicious Excel File from Fake Air Force Sender

This is pretty sloppy. Who, in this day and age, would just open a mystery Excel spreadsheet sent in a blank email from some random Wright-Patterson Air Force Base email? But it’s definitely from one of the same groups that have been sending us better targeted stuff for a while - I think I’ve seen that “IBM111” computer before. The attached .xls file has only a 14% detection rate (6/43) on VirusTotal.
