MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting a Qbot family infection. As an Excel macro-enabled document, it likely employs social engineering to trick users into enabling macros. Once enabled, it would execute embedded VBA code to download and run a secondary payload, consistent with Qbot's typical dropper behavior.
