MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Excel spreadsheet identified by ClamAV as Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0, indicating it functions as a dropper for the Qbot malware. The primary attack pattern involves luring the user to open the malicious spreadsheet, which then executes the embedded payload. No VBA or scripts were extracted, but the ClamAV detection strongly suggests Qbot's known behavior of downloading and executing further malicious stages.
