T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to other PDF files, disguised as a document about Aboriginal art. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a phishing lure designed to redirect users to malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier further support its malicious nature, suggesting it's part of a phishing campaign.
