MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

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 document's structure and heuristic firings suggest it's intended to lure the user into enabling macros, which would then execute the malicious payload. No document body or scripts were extracted, but the ClamAV signature is sufficient for attribution.
