MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting it is a Qbot variant designed to act as a dropper. As a macro-enabled Excel file, it likely relies on social engineering to trick the user into enabling macros, which then execute the malicious payload. No document body or scripts were extracted, but the ClamAV signature indicates a dropper functionality.
