(Photo by Stephen Lam\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In a move that has baffled much of the security community, Microsoft told Office 365 administrators Thursday that it would &#8220;roll back&#8221; a default block of VBA macros downloaded from the internet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Based on feedback, we\u2019re rolling back this change from Current Channel. We appreciate the feedback we\u2019ve received so far, and we\u2019re working to make improvements in this experience. We\u2019ll provide another update when we\u2019re ready to release again to Current Channel. Thank you,&#8221; the Redmond, Washington, firm messaged administrators. In a separate update to the original announcement, Microsoft said this was more of a pause than a delay. &#8220;This is a temporary change,&nbsp;and we are <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/microsoft-365-blog\/helping-users-stay-safe-blocking-internet-macros-by-default-in\/ba-p\/3071805\/page\/2\" target=\"_blank\">fully committed<\/a> to making the default change for all users.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The feature <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/analysis\/application-security\/microsoft-will-block-macros-by-default-from-internet-downloads\/\" data-type=\"editorial\" data-id=\"210591\" target=\"_blank\">announced in February<\/a> received immediate praise in the security community. Confusion around the original announcement that the feature would be put on hold \u2014 particularly over if and what would eventually be released \u2014 received similarly quick concern.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The general sentiment is: What good can possibly come from this,&#8221; asked Sherrod DeGrippo, vice president of threat research and detection at Proofpoint. &#8220;Everyone really celebrated, or was at least positive on the decision. The decision to now reverse course is, frankly, puzzling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft introduced VBA macros in 1993, with the first macro virus, Concept, appearing soon after in 1995. Since then, one of the most common, consistent pieces of security advice has been for users or administrators to turn off macros.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, macros bring a lot of functionality and can be tough to abandon entirely. Microsoft&#8217;s February announcement would have allowed administrators to split the difference; Office 365 would mark documents downloaded from the internet and, by default, show a warning page instead of running a macro in those documents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By any measure, email continues to be the prevailing vector leveraged by adversaries for initial access, leading to a wide variety of damaging cyberattacks. Disabling macros by default would have been majorly disruptive to adversaries, and a relatively minor disruption for IT professionals, who have the option to re-enable macros and accept the associated risks,&#8221; said Brian Donohue, principal security specialist at Red Canary, via email.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft did not directly answer questions submitted by SC Media about the decision to delay their February decision, but pointed to the updated announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The unfortunate thing, said DeGrippo, is that even just announcing that VBA macros would be turned off by default may have forced adversaries to change tactics. Even the sector of a change was having an effect.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/analysis\/malware\/updated-emotet-banking-trojan-more-effective-proliferates-through-excel-macros\" target=\"_blank\">Emotet has used malicious macro documents<\/a> for a billion years and just recently we have seen threat actors change their tactics and start using more containers, .LNK files, archive files, all that kind of stuff,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s truly very easy to speculate that was a response to Microsoft&#8217;s original decision. So not only was the earlier decision to disable macros by people celebrated, and seen as a positive, it actually really did impact behavior.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
