MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

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. The presence of macro-related heuristics indicates it likely uses Visual Basic for Applications to execute its malicious payload, which is consistent with Qbot's typical behavior of downloading and running further stages. The SHA256 hash is included as a primary IOC.
