The file is an Excel spreadsheet identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly indicating it functions as a dropper for the Qbot banking trojan. The presence of macro-related heuristics suggests it likely uses embedded VBA to download and execute a secondary payload, a common tactic for Qbot distribution.
