Malicious
Unsigned VBA downloader with tier-1 consensus, process injection, and direct-IP C2 to multiple suspicious hosts.
37ffa3580a83f17052…a4cc613b36The reasoning behind this verdict
The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.
The file is a 4.6 KB obfuscated VBA script submitted for the first time today. Five high-trust engines plus Kaspersky label it a generic downloader or dropper. Sandbox execution revealed eight offensive MITRE techniques, direct contact with six raw IPs, and attempts to create persistence via ManageEngine services. No code signing, no prior similar-hash matches, and a rare_new prevalence classification further support malicious intent. While external YARA and dropped-child checks returned clean, the tier-1 consensus and concrete behavioural red flags dominate the evidence.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

What this file does
What it attempted when executed in an isolated sandbox
High concern: Creates a scheduled task so it keeps running after a restart.
High concern: Hides inside another running program to evade antivirus.
High concern: Talks to a remote server to take commands or send out your data.
High concern: Encrypts your files and demands payment — ransomware behaviour.
High concern: Installs itself as a Windows service to stay running.
High concern: Sets itself to run automatically every time you start your PC.
High concern: Tries to disable or bypass your security software.
Translated from the file's technical behaviour during analysis. It never ran on your device.
Threat context
How downloaders work
This file is a delivery vehicle. On its own it can look small and harmless, but its job is to quietly pull down and install the REAL payload — often a stealer, ransomware, or bot — from a server the attacker controls.
Bottom line:Because the dangerous part arrives later, early scans can look cleaner than the threat really is.
What to do now
This file is dangerous. Treat it as harmful and remove it.
Don't open or run this file. Delete it from your Downloads (or wherever you saved it), then empty the Recycle Bin.
If you already opened it, disconnect from the internet and run a full scan with your antivirus — Windows Security, built into Windows, is sufficient.
If any of your files were locked or renamed, do NOT pay the ransom — payment rarely restores files. Recover them from a backup instead.
In future, only download software from the official website or an official app store.

YARA & heuristic rule matches
A researcher-curated or high-severity heuristic rule matched this sample. These rules target specific malware families and are near-definitive.
Sandbox flagged persistence indicators (registry Run keys / services / scheduled tasks).
EvidenceManageEngine UEMS - Agent · ManageEngine UEMS - Remote ControlMITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about &Bill of Lading (BL).vbs, answered from the scan data above.
- Yes — &Bill of Lading (BL).vbs is malicious, so do not run it, and delete it. 9 of 74 antivirus engines flag it (family: druvzi). It behaves as a downloader/dropper whose job is to pull additional malware onto the device. If you've already run it, see the removal and recovery steps below.
- &Bill of Lading (BL).vbs is a script file, about 5 KB. Our analysis identifies it as malicious (family: druvzi) — a downloader/dropper whose job is to pull additional malware onto the device. Because a file's name and icon can be faked, the safest way to identify it is by its cryptographic hash (below), not its filename.
- 9 of 74 antivirus engines flagged &Bill of Lading (BL).vbs, 9 of them as outright malicious. A detection rate at this level is a reliable signal that the file is dangerous.
- Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
- To remove &Bill of Lading (BL).vbs: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete the original &Bill of Lading (BL).vbs file and empty the Recycle Bin/Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
- &Bill of Lading (BL).vbs is classified as a downloader/dropper whose job is to pull additional malware onto the device. Engines attribute it to the druvzi family. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
- The SHA-256 hash of &Bill of Lading (BL).vbs is 37ffa3580a83f170525c7b422faf529b72968e870c0124b1fbac95a4cc613b36, and its MD5 is 8e08eeeed20479429602e10f0816bbc1. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
- This report reflects the scan run on July 13, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of &Bill of Lading (BL).vbs is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
