W97M.DownLoader.2938 is a family of downloader trojans identified by Dr.Web/Doctor Web. It exploits vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office documents as an infection vector and is commonly observed in email-borne threat activity. Its primary capability is to download and deliver additional malicious programs onto compromised systems. The content specifically associates it with malicious Office documents and with exploitation of Office vulnerabilities; related email threat reporting in the same source also references Office exploit detections such as CVE-2017-11882 and CVE-2018-0798, but no direct one-to-one mapping to this family is stated. No specific threat actor, industry targeting, platform scope beyond Microsoft Office document-based infection, or concrete IOCs are provided in the content.
