The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it is a Qbot variant designed to drop further malicious content. As an Excel file, it likely relies on social engineering to trick the user into enabling macros, which would then execute the malicious payload. The primary technique observed is the use of a malicious macro-enabled document to initiate the attack chain.
