MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Excel spreadsheet identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0'. This heuristic strongly suggests the file's purpose is to act as a dropper for the Qbot banking trojan. The document's metadata and lack of executable scripts indicate it relies on social engineering or exploitation of Excel vulnerabilities to deliver its payload.
