MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF was flagged by ClamAV as a dropper and a critical heuristic identified a large number of embedded external links, suggesting a link farm or distribution mechanism. While no scripts were extracted, the sheer volume of links points towards an attempt to manipulate search engine results or redirect users to malicious content. The ML classifier also indicated a high probability of maliciousness.
