NOTE The current round of Word/Excel/XML attachments are targeted at Windows users. Apple and Android software can open these attachments and may even manage to run the macro embedded inside the attachment. The auto-download file is normally a windows executable and so will not currently run on  any operating system, apart from Windows. However, if you are an Apple/Android user and forward the message to a Windows user, you will them put them at risk of opening the attachment and auto-downloading the malware. Currently these attachments try to auto-download Dridex, which is designed to steal login information regarding your bank accounts (either by key logging, taking auto-screens hots or copying information from your clipboard (copy/paste))
