One of the maldocs disclosed here was referred to by a Bit.ly-shortened URL (created Jan. 23, 2020) — hxxp://bit[.]ly/iaf-guidelines — which redirects to hxxp://tecbeck[.]com/IAP39031[.]docx. It is highly likely that the attackers hosted the maldocs on a public server and distributed the direct or Bit.ly links to the targets in the form of spear-phishing emails. This may be done to bypass detection systems that scan email attachments for malware.
