MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly indicating it's a Qbot dropper disguised as an Excel file. The primary attack pattern involves luring the user to open the malicious spreadsheet, which then executes a secondary payload. No VBA or scripts were extracted, but the heuristic is sufficient for attribution.
